31 Days of May Photo Challenge

"May Photo Challenge"          Paula Medina

The month of May was definitely one to remember. Since it's Spring, it has rained plentifully, but with rain comes the growth of beautiful plants and flowers! I was able to take pictures outside more frequently with the sun out. I can go have photoshoots outside with my friends. Aside from the awesome weather, many wonderful events occurred during May. My family went out for Mother's Day, and we treated my mom to dinner. My sister graduated from Kean University. And I finally received my prom dress and wedges, which I have been waiting for since March. The cicadas have returned after 17 long years from underground, and they're literally all over the place. My lovebirds are doing just fine. Lastly, school is almost done, but I am trying my best to work hard and not let laziness overcome me. ;-) I can finally breathe a bit and relax, and school has become less stressful, with college preparation becoming a bigger priority. And... Summer is almost here!

Alphabet Art

"Explore"         Paula Medina

For the alphabet art project, I chose the word "explore." Explore is probably my favorite word as of now. I like exploring the world in order to learn more about life and myself.

I wanted to use a variety of objects taken at different locations and angles to instill a theme of exploration. For E, I used the perpendicular straight lines on the ceiling of the computer room. I also wanted to use this picture since it was a capitalized E. For the letter X, I took a picture of a fence, with the constant crossing of wires. For P, I noticed the intricate design of the gate in front of someone's house. In class, I noticed the shape of an L under the desks. For O, my family keeps a billiard ball inside the glass closet. R was a tricky letter to find, but by looking a little closer, I noticed my mother's orchid plant grew in the shape of an R. Lastly, during our sixth photo walk, someone's water hose was surprisingly in the shape of an E.

This project was definitely very interesting and fun to do, and I definitely want to do another one. It's great to put them together and see pictures unfold into words.
