Matt Dunn

A couple of my favorite things consist of going outside and being with friends. I like to rock climb when I have the opportunity. I go on hikes just about every day. Star Wars is a big part of me and my friends life, they have costumes and fully built light sabers. With each of these things I try to build things for these interests of mine, to broaden my skill set for example; leather working or wood working.

Some things that irritate me are shopping. Every time I go shopping with someone I can’t stand it and I am most likely only there because I have to be. Another thing would be people who chew with their mouth open or talk with food in their mouth. I also hate when my hands are sticky, when I am trying to focus on something it becomes very difficult. Finally it is very disturbing when people talk through movies, if I wanted to talk I wouldn’t have sat down to go watch a movie.

I’ve always enjoyed photography. Photography allows me to stop time for just a second. To remember what I often forget. I have a bad memory and I tend to find it hard to remember the things I never want to forget. So to me photography is a tool to help me remember. When I can’t remember something on my own, I can look at a photograph and remember what was happening. It’s a way to express the way I feel and hold on to those memories longer than I could on my own.

I am passionate about playing volleyball, painting and photography.
My favorite animal is an owl and I’m in 11th grade.
My favorite photo that is displayed is Gate Reflection because of the perspective.
I like creativity most about photography class because it allows me to learn more about what I can do with my camera. I wish to attend St. Margaret’s next year and then go to Stanford to play volleyball.

Julia Paul


 I am a Junior currently at futures academy. My favorite thing about our photography class is the freedom we get to express ourselves using our photos and being able to collaborate with my peers and discuss ideas. Outside of this class I do enjoy taking photos in my free time as well as creating videos. In addition, I am a competitive dancer and I dance over 20 hours per week. I tend to enjoy art based activities like dance and photography because I think it's interesting that you’re able to show emotion through movement or photos and videos. When I graduate I would love to attend Loyola Marymount University or Chapman University and become either a film major or Business major.(I also like the photo of the ghost holding a soda can but it’s on website already)

Taylor Chute

Hi, I’m Taylor and I am a sophomore at Futures Academy. I lovvee kittens! When I’m older I want to either be a lawyer or work with kids because I love them. Photography for me is a way to express how I feel which is why I enjoy this class. When I’m older I would like to attend Sophia University in Japan!

JAKE (:

Hello my name is Jake and I’m a senior. I enjoy talking to others.
I love animals and people as well.
I also love taking pictures of those things. My hobbies consist of gaming and hanging out with friends, oh and being depressed. I did just get a new pup. Her name is Kona and she’s my
everything now. She's so sweet and cute and soft. I like those who are kind and respectful and
such, and dislike the rude sort of people. I love Gandhi cause you know Don’t Dog The Boys.
One of my favorite pictures I’ve taken on this profile is the one of the steps with the ocean in the
background. It was a very peaceful scene and the sky was cloudy and grey which tied the subtle
mood together.
