I took this photo in 2006 on a holiday in South Africa at Chapungu Game Reserve. This female leopard was lying in the grass with her 2 cubs, heard us coming in the car, and I saw the cubs go and hide in the long grass just as we arrived to take photos. She seemed fairly relaxed until she heard one of the cubs rustled the grass as they moved around and that's when she looked alert and watched them closely as I took this photo. The cubs were very well camouflaged in the grass though so we couldn't see them.References: The setting is Chapungu Game Reserve, and I took the photo on 5th December 2006.
Image of Great Architecture:
This is a photo of Frank Lloyd Wright's work called Fallingwater, which I studied in Visual Arts at school. It was originally built as a weekend house for the Kaufmann family, but now is looked after by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and can be visited by the public. Wright sought to integrate the sound of the falls and the dramatic shapes of the rock edges and boulders into the structure. People inside feel part the landscape due to the floor to ceiling windows, and the sounds of the falls can be heard through the house due to the carefully designed space and Wright's success in conforming with nature.

My Best Creative Work in the Past:
This is a photo that was going to be part of my HSC artwork in 2009. Jack (classmate) was referencing mid-1900s wrestlers and their outfits, wrestling the octopus tentacle i made that year. We parted his hair in the middle and slicked it down with gel, painted a curly moustache on his face and he dressed in leopard print leggings and an oversize black belt and boots to capture (and mock) the style of costume.
