In photography, capturing the moment that holds meaning and a place in your heart is what gives the photo its value. This horseshoe lookalike consists of the Colorado River which flows through Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. I had traveled here four times in the past but kept on wanting to come back to take a flawless photo.
The dark blue and endless flow of water, color-changing rocks, and its height measuring one-thousand feet high spoke to me.
I was looking for a field of lilies and stumbled at this magical scenery. While I was taking photographs I realized that there was no place quite like it. Hundreds of thousands of lilies occupied this field with a nearby narrow stream a few yards to the left leading to the ocean. The tranquil flow of water, calm breeze, and chirping of birds heading back to their nests as the day drawed to an end made me feel comforted and warm inside.
This valley caught my eye as the vast number of lilies extended far out into the horizon. The strong floral smell and picturesque scenery made me feel secure and comforted, reminding me of home. The great number of flowers reminded me that being together with the ones you love is what produces comfort and openness. Just like the flowers open petals reaching up towards the warm sun, love is a similar warm feeling.
Nature has a way of revealing its gentle yet immesarble presence. With these rocks ranging over 50ft high, its overwhelming height still gave me a sense of peace and security. The many different layers within the rocks were brightened and intensified through the sun’s light, showing the crisp lines running all throughout the canyon. While I was paused, looking up at these massive rocks, I saw the shape of a woman’s face and neck be formed through the rocks. It made me imagine as if this was mother nature physically showing herself through the rocks through an illustration of a woman’s face looking up, stretching forwards. The Indians call this rock “The Lady in the Wind.”
The infamous border of New Jersey and New York, with skylines and city life, skyscrapers, and an active, never sleeping population.
This skyline needed to be photographed no matter the circumstance. As I had set up my equipment on the Statue of Liberty Island, my hands
turned to ice, and I could barely lift the camera since this photograph was taken in January. Even with these obstacles and a few hours of waiting for the perfect scenery, this sensational view came to be. With not only beauty but history, this photograph consists of the Ellis island where many immigrants including Armenians fled to in 1915 as well as the Brooklyn Bridge which was the first-ever roadway that
connected Manhattan and Brooklyn.
