Photography is a form of art where an individual captures an image that expresses an emotion and displays a creative vision. The Menlo College Photography Club strives to teach and inspire students through snapshots. Photography allows them to preserve moments to be shared with others, as well as capture moments that may usually go unnoticed. 

The Photography Club, led by Xuexue Ma, scheduled a trip to San Francisco to teach students how to take pictures, and to explore the city. Since the photographers only had a day, they decided to go to the Embarcadero, an area by the bay bustling with people, pets and coffee shops. There they got to spend time by the pier and take pictures of the Bay Bridge.

“Photography is a way of seeing the world. It is a way to express what I see through the lens of a camera, framing every moment that can never be brought back. Photography is my visual dairy, my passion and my drive,” said Menlo College student and avid photographer Brian Uy.

For their next adventure, Ma plans to bring the Photography Club to explore other parts of San Francisco such as the Golden Gate Park.  

Check out some of the photos taken by members in the Photography Club.
