Artistic Photography

Over the course of highschool, my interest in photography has increased. Presented below are a few of my favorite artistic photography works. As my love of photography started blooming, I traveled to multiple countries including, Canada, France and Portugal, where I took images of nature such as #1 of the Saint Lawrence River, and #9 of the Atlantic Ocean in La Rochelle, France. As well, I have presented below a surreal image (#6) of a girl with leaves marking her face and clouds in her eyes. This image is a visual representation of Mother Nature. Finally, there is an image (#8) of a girl screaming. This image demonstrates the combination of chaos and joy from her expression.

The Silver Lining of Quarantine

Image
Quarantine, a word that's usage has quickly sparked drastically in the past few months. I would never have predicted I would be spending the last part of my Freshman year in College back home with my parents, yet, I like many, adapted to the new normal. Although the drastic change brought with it much difficulty, some good came from it. For example, I was granted quality time with my family that I would not have received had COVID not hit.  One thing I have come to appreciate being back home is the weekly walk my family and I would take around our neighborhood. Here are a few highlights of those walks. Neighbors put out signs on their lawn to commemorate Health Care Workers, 2020 Graduating Students, and Birthdays. My neighborhood community sent out a newsletter suggesting that people put out stuffed animals on their windows for the kids to scavage since many summer activities were canceled at the time. These quarantine walks also brought forth the opportunity to spot new hidden ge...

Halloween 2019

Image
Halloween is a holiday on the last day of October that occurs yearly. Although everyone has their own traditions, it is common to find people and houses dressed up in costumes and or Halloween themed decorations including, pumpkins, candy, scary characters like witches, skeletons, or zombies. On the day of Halloween 2019, I walked around the University of Chicago Campus to places such as The Regenstein Library, The Cathy Dining Hall and the Renee-Granville Grossman Dorm. In the evening I went to Harper Street in Hyde Park. Harper Street has a reputation of going all out for Halloween. People from all over the Hyde Park neighborhood will come not only to go Trick-Or-Treating but also to see the crazy decorations the houses on that street put up.  Decorations displayed on houses at Harper Street, Hyde Park. A student dressed as a scarecrow and a student dressed as a bumble-bee socializes with friends at the Cathey Dining Commons. Dis...

Positive and Negative Effects of Ethnicity

Image
Ethnicities in society can have both positive and negative effects on people. I decided to create a photo-essay regarding ethnicity. I interviewed a few classmates from the Lab School to ask them about how their ethnicity and how it has affected their lives. Jamal Nimer: "I'd say my ethnicity is Arab or Middle Eastern. In general, my ethnicity has affected me in society mostly when traveling. I think a lot of times when I'm trying to travel with my family we'll get stopped a lot more than many other families do. I remember a few occasions when I was young, going from Jordan to the States, I'd get randomly stopped by TSA for bomb checks where they'd search my hands for traces of gunpowder. Traveling with a mom with a Hijab on her head was certainly not very helpful. Traveling to Palestine or Israel from Jordan is also incredibly difficult. The Israeli government doesn't allow my family to land in Israel even though we have American citizenships and it ...
