Interpretation and Justification of Theme
The theme for this assignment was macro photography. Macro photography is a
broad topic so I narrowed it down to nature. It turns out “macro photography is one
of the most popular forms of photography”(Photography Life) People take “macro
shots of leaves, flowers, and sluggish insects.”(Photography Life) There are “hidden
treasures among flowers and leaves”(Photography Life) that are waiting to be
discovered outdoors. This is the way I saw the theme.

I took this photo because the grasshopper was on the ground and it didn't jump
when I got close to it.
