Trujillo’s photo was shot at Laundro Land Coin Op and the model in the photo is Victoria Grace Tosti.
“I like to try new things when it comes to my photography. Living in a small town can challenge your creativity. We don’t have the tall skyscrapers or fancy architecture, so I have to try and use what’s around me to present a new look, and the laundromat was one of those ways.”

Solorio-Ontiveros’ photo titled “Bridging Gaps” was shot at Kewin Park in Modesto.
“Bridges are a source of inspiration for me. It is a structure that closes that gap between two people and their cultures. To me, this walkway allows connections in order to explore other places as our journey transcends.”

Barber’s photo titled “Almond Orchard with Clouds” was shot along River Road looking south into one of the almond orchards in Ripon. “I do make an effort to get out with my camera during almond blossom time especially. This photo is manipulated only to the extent of enhancing the contrast to bring out the clouds which most photographers do as a routine part of post-production in our digital world. Not too different from what we would have done in the darkroom back when we all used film.”
