A Blank Canvas; Filled is a photograph of an open paper, with several pencils and pens scattered across. The photograph was taken outside of my bedroom window just after sunset. The photo itself represents adventure through a blank canvas, allowing the audience to envision what might've been there, rather than telling them.

Honorable Mention
This photo relates to this year's contest theme because this couple was originally on a biking trail, but took a water break. The biking trail invokes a sense of adventure and in a sense is a break before another adventure.

Stepping into a restaurant is an adventure. You are greeted with dancing smells, lights, and colors. Your woes can melt away as you enjoy your meal with the people around you. The aromas, colors, and people build a new community. You leave a restaurant a changed person, you journey through a new experience, a new community, and grow.
The photograph was taken at Delia's, a small family Mexican restaurant. Walking into a restaurant is like discovering a new community, where you connect over food, you are changed when you leave. I would like to thank the judges for considering my application.

Biking has been one of my favorite things to do since I was a little kid. The feeling of the wind blowing past your face as you blast down hills or the adrenaline rushing through your veins as you are getting ready to hit a big jump. Whether it’s racing down an action-packed trail with jumps and rocks or doing wheelies at sunset, biking is always an adventure.

This photo was taken in a place called Mount Tam . Mount Tam is about 3 hours away from here. It was a very beautiful sight. I took this photo when I went on vacation and my family and I went on a hike. When we went on a hike it was like an adventure. I think it ties to the subject of adventure because we went on an adventure and it was fun, very beautiful, and exciting.

This photo represents "adventure" in an almost literal sense. The towering structure of the wooden rollercoaster, with it's winding tracks and steep drops, resemble a daring journey into the unknown. Just as a rider on the rollercoaster can't predict every twist, turn, and drop, an adventurer embraces the unexpected experience that comes along the way.

As you step towards the basket, you wonder to yourself, “Is that going in?” To us humans, an adventure is putting yourself in a position of unknown and coming out of it with something new. Whether it’s something minuscule or major has no importance. Making you way to that very spot to shoot and wondering if it’s going in is an adventure.

Once upon a time, there lived a block on the streets. Lots of people went there for small adventures. It was lovely there! But one person did not like the block! That person was ISABELLA! Everyone HATED her. Because other people throught it was rude to hate the block that didn't do anything to you.
One day a super hero came. She asked Isabella why she hated the block. She said that one day her best friend Sally was playing at the park. Then the wind pushed her in the streets and a car ran OVER HER! And then the superhero asked her to be her friend. She said, "YES!" After that she had a friend again and she LOVED the BLOCK!!! Everyone didn't hate her anymore.

My class went on a walk to Adobe falls. We used digital cameras to take lots of photos. I picked this one because it was my favorite. It shows all of us walking near the stream on our hike.
