11th Photography Collection by Kathryn Fong https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography Exploring photography as an art form and communication medium en-us 2021-04-27 12:38:18 UTC 2025-12-12 15:05:14 UTC hello@padlet.com Salar de Uyuni by Willy_Kenning kathrynfong https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1464007421 This photograph amazes me because of its ability to capture the imagination. It allows the viewer to see the universe in the earth itself. The specs of light make us reflect on the interconnectedness of indvidual entities in life. I also love this photo because I love this country and all the natural beauty it has to offer. ]]> 2021-04-27 12:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1464007421 Bermuda triangle: A mystery that challenges human understanding on natural bodies student_shadsaba https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1466835580 This photograph goes beyond the limits of what human beings can consider to be normal, due to the fact that this portrays the unbelievable mysteries that an area between Miami, the Bahamas and Puerto Rico can embrace. The Bermuda triangle constitutes an ongoing dilemma for humankind and for many scientists that have invested their time studying the anomalies that have been taking place in this region over the years. What caughts my attention the most in this photo, is that it is able to represent all the accidents that were caused in this zone; without even having a concrete explanation to these peculiar facts. The colors in this image can seem striking at a first glance, but the meaning behind this illustration holds a heavier weight when reflecting on the reason why this territory possesses such a problematic environment.

For me, the moon is a symbol representing our dreams, how far we are from reaching them but never giving up. It also represents the unison of the family, in this case my boy brothers and my coursin from La Paz. It represents unity within the family, all of them looking at their dreams and goals. Finally it has also a natural meaning, showing the beatiful moon between the clouds and some teens just looking at it. ]]> 2021-04-28 00:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1466889731 Weathering the Elements by Steve McCurry student_alejcast https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1466965344 This image astonishes me because of its ability to capture several elements in a unique way. The photograph contains all the 4 elements; water in the ice ground, earth beneath the trees, air in the sky and fire is represented by the sun. As well, the landscape is unique and allows the viewer to admire the beauty of nature.

I believe that capturing the essence of this crucial moment was important because it shows a different perspective of the moon. This is a phenomena, we don't often get to capture such moments. I like this image in particular because it shows the moon as having a different personality. From being this bright celestial body in space that glistens below us, to covering the night with a moon "filled with blood" per se. Hence, the name blood moon. Although this is all due to natural phenomenon, getting to see this once in a lifetime is a must, in order to show the true beauty of nature and the way it behaves itself during cycles. ]]> 2021-04-28 00:59:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1466983538 Happiness student_marcrive https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467037352 This photo was actually taken by me and it’s very personal. I feel it captures the beauty of a simple moment in a very unique way, how happiness can be seen in the small details or moments in life. This is my little brother laughing out loud at my grandpa on his birthday. An instant where the a very serious man like my grandfather couldn’t help from just laughing and smiling, enjoying the small moments you share with people and the things that make you happy but could also go away in a fraction of minutes. The image also carries a feeling of filial love that sometimes isn’t really expressed openly in words.]]> 2021-04-28 01:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467037352 Australian Fires by Anusha J student_lucatorr https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467049984 This picture is amazing and brings hope to the world. It represents life after the tragedy of the fires in Australia. Watching this picture brings me peace and hope for the world and creates a better perspective of the future to everyone. The plants that are growing on the dead and burnt trees are a symbol of how powerful the earth is, talking in a life perspective. Finally, with all that has been said, I will let you enjoy life. ]]> 2021-04-28 01:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467049984 Königs-Tiger 233 in Budapest, October 1944 student_marivargm https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467073764 This image astonishes me in the way that makes me think how far can the human kind go, this image is the pinnacle of engineering at the time it was taken, the photographer is unknown. The tiger II or Königs-Tiger, was the best technology in terms of warfare at the time, and surprisingly this is one of the largest vehicle of the category to the day. Seeing this, for me is like watching thousands of years of innovation put together.]]> 2021-04-28 01:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467073764 Christmas Eve by me clara_escobar https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467091276 This photograph is personally related to childhood memories and scenes that remind me of the joyful moments spent in Italy. It was taken on Christmas Eve, the day I reunited with my family. The serene and warm atmosphere influenced everyone’s mood, creating a contrast to the coldness portrayed by the window facing our garden. The icy view brings back the happiness and good humor related to that particular date.

The image capures the exact moment when the sun is setting and the beautiful and various colors this creates. It is amazing seeing how nature can look like a painting, with all those pastel colors painting the sky and vaguely reflecting on the sand. This image represents all those good summer memories we all once had, with the tan-lines and the walks on the beach while eating an ice cream. All I can think of while seeing it is how much I´d like to be on a place like that right now.]]> 2021-04-28 01:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467143643 Lago Titikaka by me student_lucisoli https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467232918 I took this picture of Lago Titikaka and my sister a few years ago. Me and my family went to visit Copacabana (main place tourist go to) for the weekend. This photo is shows both Lago Titikaka and a small island found near Copacabana (there are many of these small island i don’t quite remember it’s name).
Personally, i really liked how the photo turned out because it shows the lake and parts of the small town built on it. My sister and i had climbed to the top of this rock tower, where i was able to take the best shot of this small island. I think this photo is just one of many examples that portray the best parts of Bolivia, which people may have not yet seen before (just like me). I’d definitely encourage people who haven’t visited Copacabana to do so :)

Personally, I've always loved the universe and have been fascinated by its beauty and size. A night full of stars is simply beautiful. It might make one seem of feel small, but the contrast with the tree also reminds us of the charm of our planet. Finally, it also emits a somewhat relaxing feeling.]]> 2021-04-28 02:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467275547 Humanae Project by Angelica Dass student_camicoro https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467316440 A long time ago, I learned about the incredible project of Humanae, by the brazilian photographer Angelica Dass, which aims to reflect on skin color. It is an attempt to document humanity's true colors, rather than the untrue labels “white,” “red,” “black,” and “yellow” that are historically associated with race. This collection of photographs impacted me greatly because I could really see how beautiful each one of them was, and how the author managed to communicate a message related to racism and discrimination in such a creative , touching  and, at the same time, simple way. ]]> 2021-04-28 03:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467316440 “Cracks" -Image by:Belen Perez student_maripere https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467349089  
This picture for me portrays how the earth can be cracked, but in some way it still looks beautiful and pleasant. This to me is the same as life, no matter how many times you fall and break down in pieces,,those pieces are what makes you beautiful not only on the inside but on the outside as well. This cracks on earth will never go away, but people will change their perspective on how they see it.it They will find beaty on this separations and cracks, and it is the same way as life, people will accept you and love the way you are  even with your mistakes and scars.And not only others, but you will perceive all this defects as beautiful and accept yourself too.

    This image to me represents, how sometimes you can put your head down, and drown in a glass of water,  and have no motivation , but if you would only look forward and change the way you percieve life, you will find amazing things, with a bright future , and new places to visit, the clear blue sky, represents new opportunities.It looks like a long way to get to that bright future, but it's only a matter of patience and sacrifices , to get there. It is not impossible, and someday you will have your happy ending.

The picture amazed me because you can see he is worried, almost like he doesn’t want to race.Since it is a close up picture, there is an emphasize on his eyes which transmits the feeling that something is wrong. It being in black and white gives the idea that this is an old picture and it goes hand in hand with his story and the improvements they’ve (FIA) done with the safety of the sport.  I chose this picture because there aren’t many pictures of F1 drivers in the late 80s especially ones where we can see their faces. Seeing his 
face makes me question what would have happened if he had survived his crash in 1994.

This photograph captivates me because I felt a strong conncetion with the spider monkey while taking it. It also makes people realize all the beauty and biodiversity  that Bolivia holds. The eyes of the monkey portray a strong, perhaps thoughtful emotion, which reminds humans that we have to forget about the common anthropocentric view of the world, since animals can feel, think and communicate through different manners. The green background, which indicates the presence of human beings also bothers me, places like this should not exist becasue people are destroying the environment and all the living organisms within it. On the other hand, I like the calmness of the monkey, as he knows he is in a safe place where he will not be attacked nor hunted]]> 2021-04-28 04:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467514536 "Our History" by me student_camizamb https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467524304 Toro Toro, Potosí (2019)
This image's meaning surprises me in a strong way. It shows a process that can be seen with the naked eye; a process that took place more than 20 million years ago due to the clash of the Nazca Plate. The fact that nature can be so perfect, yet so complex also shocks me]]> 2021-04-28 04:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467524304 Drought in England by: English news media employee student_migucuba https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467798533 This photo is a climatic phenomenon. This shows how extreme things can get and makes you appreciate life with so many privileges you might’ve not thought of before; such as water and food in this case. It also depicts a sad place with no flora, another privilege we might’ve not appreciated before. When things hit the fan, people like to rethink life, let’s break the habit by appreciating it before the consequences of our ungratefulness make us drop to our knees and beg for mercy. ]]> 2021-04-28 06:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1467798533 Dissociative identity disorder student_romianay https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1468715870 I chose this picture even though I could not find the artist who made it. This image represents Dissociative identity disorder. We can see a woman, and multiple faces representing different emotions and personalities. In my opinion, we can understand a little better how much they suffer by looking a this picture. Seeing this makes me realize how hard it is for people to deal with DID. I've been looking for videos regarding DID, and it impresses me every day more when looking at how hard their lives are, and how they live their day to day life. I believe this image is a great way to symbolize DID, since they have no control regarding what they do when another alter replaces the host.]]> 2021-04-28 12:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1468715870 “Memories” by me student_sararoma https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1468851526 In this picture I was taking a ride to a small town near Cochabamba. As the timing came right, I shot this picture to symbolise small things that behind the camera, are memories that are kept in our memories. In our life we have had the most amazing experiences, from travelling somewhere to a small monopoly game that left the whole family laughing until their last breaths. Memories keep us happy, it makes us grow as individuals but also as a population. Things like riding a motorcycle with my dad one day will live with me even until he dies.  So this, it represents a good memories that will live in our minds, forever and ever, for all eternity. ]]> 2021-04-28 13:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1468851526 Black and White by Filippo Andolfatto (Ignacio Balderrama) https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1468903136 This image communicates so much while still keeping itself still. It tries to show how a close-up of hands be enticing when displayed in color, but in black and white, the image paints the story that all humankind is united. Meaning, humans are all the same if we just see them in the same way. The color of our skin gives so many stereotypes  and prejudgements to people that most interactions are based on them but, if we show the colors of humans in black and white, we see the beauty and detail of one species and not the difference between them. This image truly shows the meaning of how prejudice becomes a  burden that bewilders the past, threatens the human kind future, and renders the present to become a false reality of our own.]]> 2021-04-28 13:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1468903136 Peaceful Night By: Jalim Carvajal student_gabrcarv https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1468977737 This picture represents a peaceful night far away from city in a peach orchard, this place is very calm at night and it has a lot of beautiful landscapes, this image represent the simplicity and beautifulness of world, just by looking at his image you can feel inside of it, It feels like a sensation of nature and peace. I really appreciate this place because it's a way to get away from bad things of life and to feel in a better envirioment.]]> 2021-04-28 13:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1468977737 An Enchanted Place by Gabriela Alcazar student_gabralca https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1468999965 I like taking photographs of the sky because they are always full of surprises, full of different colors and shapes. The skies are surprising since one day you can take a photo of a pink sky and the other of a totally gray one. So, when I took the 2nd picture I was amazed by the harmony between the colors of the sky and land. Also, this photo is one of my favorites because the photograph looks like a painting of a fairy land, an enchanted place, when in reality it was actually taken in a town in Oruro. This photo reminds me how beautiful Bolivia is.

The North Pole is melting, and as time passes, this is becoming a worst situation. The melting is due to the contamination, because of the use of cars, and big  factories that contaminate a lot. People tend to whink just about themselves, and as we humans do our things, we are destroying a habitat, and many animals.

Despite the warm colors of the sunset and the perfect position of the clouds that provide a beautiful view, what transmits peace to me is the following idea; in the apparent silence and calmness that is perceived when looking and the scene, below is the laud noise and chaos of humanity. Therefore this picture means peace to me.]]> 2021-04-28 23:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1471466604 IgnacioBal https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1475210897 2021-04-29 18:06:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1475210897 student_sneztorr https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1475266484 2021-04-29 18:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1475266484 clara_escobar https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1476060264 2021-04-29 22:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1476060264 Peaceful Afternoon student_isabdolz https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1566621786 This photograph shows a beautiful landscape with people sitting on the grass. In my point of view, I consider that this image represents a peaceful afternoon with their loved ones. These people look calm and  serene while looking at the sunset. This place seems far away from any houses or buildings creating a green space filled with nature. I think these little moments in life should be really appreciated since there are simple moments that can make us happier, helping us forget the sad or bad things that happen to us. Even though this picture doesn't show anything dangerous or even exciting, I think it represents nice memories that stay with us and eases up on our minds.

The bright colors and different intensities also give you a sense of calmness and tranquility. This picture is a clear example of the astonishing and magnificent views and sights that nature gives us. It is incredible to see how all the colors in the sky fit in so perfectly and then reflect in the water to make an amazing prospect. This image reminds me of all the good times I had when traveling during the summer. The times of spending the whole day at the beach and watching as the sun goes down. Getting a spectacular view and heading home, with a tan and ocean water in your hair. Seeing this picture reminded me and made me miss those summer days.

This photograph is breath taking, I chose this picture to show the beautiful places Bolivia has. The colors, view, sunrise and landscapes are like a dream, there's no other place as Salar de Uyuni. This image brings piece and happiness to the audience due to its relaxing palette and emotion of just picturing yourself in such paradise. Bolivia is filled with beauty but this being the largest salt flat in the world distinguishes Bolivia among other countries. Personally I haven't gone to Salar de Uyuni yet but its on my wish list, this photograph takes me back to falling asleep in gardens and landscapes and waking up when I feel the sun rays in my face, its that time when you open your eyes and realize you're surrounded by nature, just thinking about all the different colors, smells, and textures we can feel. Its those feelings and memories that takes us away from technology and brings us back to appreciate the wonders this world has to offer. When I see this picture I wanna grab the clouds and walk over salt Id even like to taste it. I think this photograph is a great example to see from someone else's eyes, here we can see what a foreign person to the country found and described as beauty, and a native proud Bolivian describing her perspective and emotion of the photograph.]]> 2021-05-29 18:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynfong/11th_Photography/wish/1570743453
