1.What first caught my eye was the way the photographer captured the landscape. The absence of color added a new dimension to the abstract aspects of the landscape. I particularly liked the way the photographer took simple pictures that captured many things.

"Rocks and Pebbles" taken in 1948
I see the image of a thousand suns reflecting back at me as I look into the sand. I see the smoothness of some rocks and the rough, jagged shells of others. It looks very peaceful with only sand and rocks in view.
I feel each grain of warm sand touch my feet. I stand in one place causing uneven weight distribution - I start to sink into the sand inch by inch. The sun glares at my back, the sand envelopes me slowly, just like the immovable minerals present.
I hear the sound of the sand flowing, almost like liquid, to make way for the rocks. I can hear the sound of the wind streak across the land, and buffer my face. I hear the landscape's silence.
I taste the dryness of the air in my mouth. The sand intrudes and makes my mouth taste gritty. I can taste the hot air as I breath in. I take a breath and I can taste the environment around me.
I smell the hot sand, and the disintegration of plants, animals, and rocks. I smell the heat everything around me, even my own skin. I smell the land and the heat. I smell my skin burning from the sun's rays.
"Point Lobos" taken in 1946
I feel the wind from the sea buffering me,
I see beautiful fields of flowers covering the sides of the hills. I see the ocean merging with the land.
I hear the waves crashing against the rocks. I hear the seals and gulls moving about in the cove and the inlets.
I taste the salt in my mouth. It almost feels like I can taste the fish as well.
I smell the salty air lingering in the area. I smell the seaweed mixed with the smell of flowers.
3. Anything! Murals, projects, photo collaborations, or even posting our pictures to the school website, or all around the school itself.
