America's Favorite Photos · Exposure Grant

Katherin Sue Partida

I'm an Autistic photographer from Silicon Valley, CA that wants to document everyday life with old-media (SLR Cameras) and use modern technologies to bring back the old school way of photography. I love the feel of using a vintage camera, especially if I know my photos will turn out good!

Rose of Scott/Monroe

I saw this rose in Scott/Monroe in my local town as I was walking to the grocery store! It was pretty!

Flowers that look like Cherry Blossoms

I was walking to Target that night after I went to take a bio break and I was going to use Google to identify the flowers.

Valley Fair Hello Kitty Cafe break

I took a photo of these before I ate them by myself! It was a fun solo trip!

Ghost Riley, Regal Void Cat

He... yeah, this is my cat, Ghost Riley. He looks so regal and sassy in this photo!

A Fruit Cake made of actual fruit

My stepmom is a healthnut but she also made this beautiful cake made of actual fruit! No Gluten! It was the best cake I've ever had! Even if it was just fruit!

April 2025 Trip to Mexico

I was visiting family, but I was also here for a health visit that I didn't agree to but I also got to tour the city of Guadalajara! This is the plaza when it's full in April.

Jellyfish at Zoologico Guadalajara

It was my first time at the Zoologico Guadalajara, and I saw these cool jellyfish! The light was so blue I had to edit this on my own phone because I couldn't use flash in the marine exhibit.

I'm an amateur photographer that wants to show the world a beautiful place! I've struggled my whole life with being often broke and low income. I want to be able to use the skills I learned and re-learn them so that I can be an inspiration to Autistic women and girls that being a photographer is possible! I do love using film cameras and digital cameras, and I want to show the world that old technology isn't gone. Old technology can also adapt to new technology with care and precision.
