Through My Eyes

Kent State University sophomore Kelly Scheetz admires the mural outside of Scribbles Coffee Co. during her afternoon commute to class on Wednesday, September 5, 2018. Scheetz transferred to Kent State from Miami University this semester; so, she is familiarizing herself with the city of Kent. I think this photo captures a timeless moment because it is Scheetz first year at a new school. In addition, I like the bright colors in this composition. It matches her cheerful demeanor in this photograph.

Akronite Hannah Troyer (left) models an outfit styled by Lauren Andersen and Malorie Newingham of NOTO Boutique for an eBay photoshoot on Wednesday evening, September 5, 2018. This photograph is a behind the scenes shot utilizing the natural light streaming in from the window. I think it is a fun picture because it showcases a memorable night, trendy clothes and displays the backstage environment (crowded quarters filled with shoes, clothing and people). Side note: We threw shoes on her later! Lauren was still deciding on footwear when I took the picture.

Student finds solace from the 90-degree heat under a cluster of trees in the front of campus at Kent State University on Wednesday afternoon, September 5, 2018. I was doing homework at a table outside when I looked up to see how neat the light streaming in through the trees looked. I liked the shadows created from the foliage too. While I did not speak to this person, I hope the shade provided them some relief from the unrelenting heat.

Fashion stylist Jenn Kidd surveys merchandise looking for pieces to showcase in a photoshoot for NOTO Boutique in Akron, Ohio on Wednesday, September 5, 2018. I like this photo because of the juxtaposition. You have the chaotic behind-the-scenes work in the foreground and the glamorous modeling in the background. It depicts two worlds in fashion colliding. I enjoyed watching this moment unfold and turn into a neat composition.

Malorie Newingham and her best friend Olivia Shagla enjoy the last rays of light at Mentor Headlands Beach on Sunday evening, September 2, 2018. I love this photo. The way the light dances across the water is beautiful to me. I enjoyed the glistening waves so much that I decided to risk dropping my iPhone in the lake because I wanted a picture to remember the day. I like to explore Cleveland when I can on the weekends.
