2nd Oldest River in the World

i went to visit my best friend, Candice, in west virginia. while she was at theatre practice, emily and i hiked around and found some beautiful views of the New River. the name is ironic because it is in fact the second oldest river in the world. but the sites were gorgeous and the hike was strenuous but enjoyable. i now have bragging rights.

Massive Greenhouse

here are a few more photographs i took at Metrolina Greenhouse for my class. i love anything related to the environment, and all the workers at Metrolina truly cared about the plants and how Metrolina was presented. it was an eye-opening experience because the place was huge but seemed so intimate with the plants.

GO BLUE!!

for my advertising class, we spent all quarter putting together a campaign. my group came up with "Go Blue". this is similar to the "go green" environmental campaign. we made posters, a website and educated the public about the water situation and different ways to conserve and some interesting facts that not everyone knows; for example, the average american uses 80 to 100 gallons of water a day. that seems like a colossal amount and everyone can do their part and conserving more water and helping change the situation. here are the two posters i created for the campaign.

Family Fun

everyone enjoys the family vacations. my family recently traveled to Charleston for a weekend. we had an amazing time and i only took pictures on my phone because i didn't want to have a camera in my hands at all times. of course, i had my phone in my hands almost the whole weekend but it was worth it. the last image is of my and my twin's hands with our new bracelets we bought in the market. we call them our 'twinship' bracelets.

Behind the Greenhouse

Metrolina Greenhouse is a large greenhouse on acres and acres of land that provides plants, flowers and all other greenery to Lowe's and different plant stores all around the area.

King's Kitchen

I yet again revisited my pictures I took at King's Kitchen here in charlotte. for my portfolio class, i was asked to make an advertisement. while i myself have no interest in doing advertising photography, i worked to lure my passion of non-profit photography into advertising. so, since King's Kitchen is a non-profit it created the perfect opportunity to practice my advertising skills and build my portfolio.
