I have always wanted to draw with light but constantly found myself paused wondering how to do it. Busted out the iPhone and used the flashlight to capture this image. A perfect picture? No. A work in progress? Yes.

I think of myself as a very adaptable person in general. I use humor whenever possible, but I can “adapt” to different situations. I have been an Irish Dancer for 13 years, and because of performing for so many years I strive to entertain people from day to day. I am very focused on school as well; it is what keeps me balanced between fun and focus. Friends and family are very important to me as well, I feel all of these aspects of my life shape me as a photographer, I feel that my photos are unique by the way that I control my light, many of my photos have a very “home-y” feel to them, they have warm colors usually, and are objects that my family has had. Each photo tells a little bit about me.
My philosophy in photography is to be in control of your subject matter and try to get the feel you want out of your photos. As I said before, almost every picture I’ve taken shows a little bit of who I am. I really enjoy myself when I am actually taking photos for a project. Once the setup is done and the real photographs are taken is when I really enjoy myself. I feel that photography is meant to be a fun way for people to express themselves, and I try to create photos that make people feel emotions, or at the very least that are visually interesting and that people enjoy looking at. I am inspired by anything that I think will look good on camera. Especially if I have the right settings for a specific look that I want. That is another part of my photography, my photo styles adapt with me, I can create dark looks, and futuristic looks, if I think it fits with the project better. I always try to make my projects entertaining and relatable.
For my final project I wanted to show how much I’ve grown as a photographer by recreating past projects we have done throughout the semester while having a central theme tying all those photos together. I chose Irish Dance to be my theme because it has always been a part of my life. I felt that I knew it well enough to be able to adapt it to each photo. I decided to have several of my photos represent the motion project because motion, in itself, is the most important aspect of any type of dance. The set of photos also includes a take of the “Traditional/Alter Ego Self Portrait” project, a “Lighting a Still Life” photo, a “Macro/Minutiae” photo, as well as a “Different Types of Lighting” photo. I feel that this project lets the viewers into my world. I strived to show what Irish Dance is really about, and what goes into preparing for competitions, and what is really behind the glitter, wigs, and dresses. There was however, an aspect of difficulty. I had a limited number of action shots that I could really take based solely on the fact that it becomes tiring for whoever you are photographing, when they are constantly moving, jumping especially. Because of this I made sure to use my burst settings whenever possible.
I think this is called Chrysanthenum German Flag - though the plants I have grown from seed have far less red on the petal tips than the seed catalogue suggested!
Thinking positively offers a wide array of benefits that can profoundly impact your overall well-being. From a psychological standpoint, cultivating a positive mindset helps reduce stress, anxiety, and the risk of depression. When you approach challenges with optimism, you're more likely to see them as opportunities for growth rather than insurmountable obstacles. This fosters resilience, allowing you to bounce back more effectively from setbacks. Positive thinking also enhances problem-solving skills, promotes creative thinking, and improves your ability to cope with difficult situations, leading to better mental health and a greater sense of control over your life.
Beyond mental well-being, the power of positive thinking extends to tangible physical health advantages. Research suggests that optimists tend to have stronger immune systems, lower blood pressure, and a reduced risk of chronic diseases like heart disease. This connection may be attributed to the fact that positive individuals are often more inclined to adopt healthier lifestyle choices, such as regular exercise and a balanced diet. Ultimately, embracing a positive outlook can lead to a longer, healthier life and a greater capacity to enjoy everyday experiences, making it a valuable tool for thriving in all aspects of life.
"I do not think that anyone could fly, as I have done today, across the vast stretches of the Australian outback and come to this modern city, built upon the barren reaches of the Barrier Range, without a sense of amazement at the achievement which its existence represents.” Queen Elizabeth II, Broken Hill Royal Visit, 18 March 1954.
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip arrived in Broken Hill for a three-hour tour on March 18th, 1954. The royal couple were driven from the airport through the suburb of Railwaytown and the Central Business District before driving around the ground of the Broken Hill District Hospital where patients and nursing staff greeted them with great excitement.
The whole city was decorated with Australian flags and photographs and banners depicting the Queen. A crowd, estimated at 40,000 people, represented Broken Hill and surrounds, including every dignitary and official in the city, school children, miners, shopkeepers, station hands and union bosses.
Hundreds of invited guests congregated at the official reception for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip held at North Park, renamed Queen Elizabeth Park at this event to honour the Royal Visit. North Park was built for the people of Broken Hill by the North Mine in 1940. The North Progress Committee planted hundreds of trees in the area. North Mine Hall was built within the grounds by the North Mine and transferred to Broken Hill City Council in 1941.
The Queen’s speech on that momentous day in North Park described Broken Hill as a “great mining centre, one of the main springs of Australia's industrial strength, equipped for every need of modern life, in the face of every difficulty nature could devise.” To her, the city represented the romance of the Australian outback and she clearly admired the resilience and spirit of its people.
The Queen’s wireless radio broadcast, which later beamed across the country from the Flying Doctor Service base to remote desert townships and homesteads, reached out to “sheep and cattle station families, boundary riders, well sinkers, drovers and people in outback hospitals and mission stations,” so the ABC reported. “Every one of them hung on to the clear words which brought the Queen into their lonely world.” The Flying Doctor Service was, on this visit, granted a royal charter and became the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
A redevelopment of Queen Elizabeth Park, supported by Broken Hill and City Council and the New South Wales Government through the Crown Reserves Improvement Fund, was completed in 2022. Queen Elizabeth Park is now home to West Darling Machinery Preservation Society’s ‘little picnic train’ which is reminiscent of the open-carriage trains that once carried the families of miners on outings from Sulphide Street Railway Station to annual picnics in Silverton, thirty-five kilometres to the north-west of the city.
Queen Elizabeth Park is a lasting reminder that Broken Hill was part of the royal tour, and that its people inspired the Monarch.
