Cityscapes
"In The Clouds" This photo was taken from an outlook at Mount Rainier National Park this past August. The weather was constantly changing due to the unique climate. We were warned that a thunderstorm was approaching, and in the rush to cover our belongings, I quickly snapped a picture of this peak before it was lost in the clouds. I distinctly remember seeing a pink "smudge" at the bottom of the screen that I decided I would later just crop out. Upon realizing that this was a flower, I began to understand just how amazing nature really is. Mt. Rainier is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, yet it is often overlooked in all of the grandeur, that the same biological processes that are happening with the dandelions in our front yard are also occurring on the side of one of America's largest mountains. - Brian Hobin
Nature"Man On The Moon" I took this image two days before Christmas. My friend, Jack, and I pulled an all-nighter to try to catch an amazing sunrise. After a 3 hour drive, almost getting the car stuck in a drainage ditch, and hiking up what we hoped was the trail, we found ourselves running along the ridge of the mountain, and honestly felt like little kids on Christmas morning. I saw the moon right above Jack as he was walking, and I knew it was a special moment. The scene was so surreal, it felt as if we were on another planet. About thirty minutes later, two other hikers who had thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail summited. They were super friendly and fun to watch as they hurdled down the mountain on plastic sleds they had brought up. - Brian Hobin
Nature "Climb" Quietly I climb Among the lonely stairs Wishing I could melt and join the darkness Coalescing, infinity and light Through it all, new life sprouts - Cecelia Morello
Architecture"The Burn" While this picture may be lacking grand vistas, golden hour, and the rule of thirds, the story behind this is perhaps the most meaningful to me. This past summer I worked for a Non-Profit Organization with other youth. Our assignment was to camp in backcountry forest fire burn zones, where the trails had been completely destroyed. We would spend weeks rebuilding trails so the public could once again enjoy these areas. As a result, we would get covered head to toe with ash and charcoal everyday, alongside other scrapes and bruises. I took this picture near the end of the program. The distinct line on my arm doesn't just represent where my work gloves protected me, but the person I was before and after my time out West. I returned home with a newfound appreciation for everything I used to take for granted, and a passion to protect our world. - Brian Hobin
