Photojournalism Essay by Gwyneth Bao

-


On May 9th, a family takes a hike at Silver Falls, just as the early morning sun peeks through the trees. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, outdoor treks were becoming a common routine.

 


At the turning point of the trail, the cascade of a thunderous waterfall sends droplets flying in every direction. With the additional morning mist, hikers had to be cautious of the slippery, rocky outcrops.



Small creatures can be found at any point on the journey, boasting elegant, intricate outer shells. The snail had most likely came out in search of the damp, humid weather.

    The photos are beautiful and capture unique aspects of a day at Silver Falls. The cutlines/captions are informative and contain strong description.

Guest post by rising sophomore Sandra Thein, photos courtesy of Kelly Ryu and Emilie Kono I love those college YouTube videos: “2018 COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS - IVY LEAGUE AND MORE!” The enthusiasm and gratitude the applicants radiate upon hearing where they will be spending the next four years of their lives is inspiring and motivating for a high school student like me.  I'm also inspired by students closer to home. Graduating senior Emilie Kono is a student athlete with a love for science and music. "Bo th in and outside of school," says Kono, "my family, friends, coaches, teachers and mentors have all been incredibly supportive in pushing me to reach my full potential; I can’t thank them enough! I knew that I wanted to be at an academically high achieving school and Stanford was an excellent choice.

Football/Sports Photography My personal favorite event to photograph for the last two years has been football. The fall sports season is packed with events having football easily be the most popular event on a Friday evening which makes it an important event to capture. If someone misses one game they feel like they missed out; this is where my job ...
