Staring through her Nikon D90 camera, she travels the world and takes pictures of people in their native culture.

Hannah Klobuchar, 19, humanities major, enjoys taking pictures of people in countries like Uganda, Africa and Honduras in South America.

“I like immersing myself in a different culture, putting myself in a vulnerable position and getting to know different people and their backgrounds and capturing it through a photograph,” Klobuchar said.

She said the reason she does this is to express her feelings through photography and not through words.

While Klobuchar may have the option of taking photographs in the country, taking photos away from home on another continent may be what she considers a challenge for her photography skills.

“Being in a different country is like kind of being out of your comfort zone,” she said.

Klobuchar takes photos while she attends trips with organizations such as the Penninsula Community Church and Living Water International, an organization that builds water wells in various countries, including Honduras.

Although she has already visited two countries, Klobuchar said she plans to visit more places around the world such as Israel, Australia, Italy, England and Paris.

“I think Hannah Klobuchar is a great friend and is great at capturing God’s creation,” Rocci Medawar, 19, arts major, said.

While Klobuchar takes photos during her travels, she also spends some of her time creating photo albums.

One example of a photo album that she created includes “The Beauty of the Honduran Heart,” an album built through a collection of photos during a medical mission.

Some of these medical missions offer medical assistance and hygiene instructions to villagers in Honduras.

The book features children and adult villagers washing hands.

“The photo that was the most compelling to me was with an elderly person’s hads washing in water and you see the water flowing through these beautiful aged hands,” Darilyn Rowan, photography professor, said.
