Danielle Anchondo Interview
Photographer Danielle Anchondo is interviewed by Guy Anchondo about her cover photo "Make a Wish ," published in The Bayou Review's current Spring 2025 Edition.

What do you usually photograph? Where do you find inspiration?
I usually photograph sunsets and pictures of the moon using my telescope. I find inspiration in anything I find visually appealing and beautiful things.
When and where was “Make a Wish” taken?
“Make a Wish” was taken in Somerset, Colorado on June 30th, 2024. I was visiting family.
What camera/phone did you use? Did you use any filters?
I don‘t have a camera so I use my iPhone 13 camera and I don’t use any filters.
What is it about the image that made you want to take the picture?
I wanted to take that picture because it seemed like the perfect shot, it was really fluffy, and there was no other one near it.
What is a beautiful thing to you?
A beautiful thing to me is something usually appealing or makes me feel happy to look at.
What does “wish” mean to you in “Make a Wish” Do you have a wish you’d like to make?
A wish to me is something positive you hope to happen in your life. I have many wishes I’d like to make but I don’t remember what I hoped during the time I took the photo.
