Since photography is one of my primary hobbies, I will show you five of my favorite vacation photographs from this year.

This is undoubtedly my favorite photograph (I included it in my portfolio to apply to this school); it was taken on the beaches of Olympic National Park when I experimented with close-up and accurate focus shots.

2. This photo was also captured on the beaches of Olympic National Park; however, I adjusted it in Photoshop to create an environment where the subject (myself) is the focal point.

3. I experimented with close-up and sharp-focus photography on the beaches of Olympic National Park for this photo shoot.

4. Black-and-white photographs of my home’s garden and the already-blooming spring daffodils create a more intimate atmosphere.

5. This photograph was taken during my recent trip to Victoria, Canada; I used black and white to create an atmosphere of mystique and intrigue (castle and dry plants).
