I admit this week was a rollercoaster! It was a thrill. I felt this week was more relaxing than the other weeks. First, beginning with the articles I read about Photography. Check out my reflection to the articles about “Being a Better Photographer” and ” The Internet and Photography Online 2.0″: (http://embracethegift.com/uncategorized/taking-pictures-arent-easy/). Next, I had to … Continue reading “Hats off to Week 3!”

You know a remix to a song, well, here is a remix to a picture! Here is a color changer picture of  the University of Mary Washington’s Anderson Center. For people, who are not familiar with the color scheme of UMW, their school colors are; red, white, navy blue, and gray. The building at UMW … Continue reading “Exciting, Electric, Flavorful Views…”

Have you heard of  pets that graduate? Well my creativeness incorporated a dog getting ready for pet graduation. Unfortunately, this dog was the only pet that graduated in the year of 2016-2017. If you would like to bring your pet to school here is the link to get started on how to do this: (http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/bring-your-pet-to-school/) … Continue reading “Graduation Dog?”

Here is a good example of perspective. As you look at the picture you see a guy and at first it looks like he standing sideways. Different perspectives and angles can falsely assume something for what it actual is.  Different views can make a photo unique by how creative you can get with a photo.

Here is an example of a great background in relation to a front foreground. While looking at the photo your eyes automatically focus in on the candy, rather than the fruit. The eye appeals more to what is in front of it.  The main message this photo is trying to convey is that the candy … Continue reading “Pay Attention to the Little Things.. “

Here is an example of Moment. As you look at the picture you can interpret how intense the photo is as the female is intensely striking the volleyball. This is a great example of how the photographer slows down what is happening around him and focuses...

Whenever I take a picture, it never turns out to be what I want it to be the first time I capture the photo. Picture-taking was never my thing growing up. My current experience with a picture I tried to take symbolizes that statement well. Last Friday, I tried to take a selfie with my … Continue reading “Taking Pictures aren’t easy! “

Here’s a little humor for reality. People who have not seen this movie is quite a laugh. I love this movie because it relates a lot to where I am from and the same level of absurdity that comes from my friends is ridiculous. I choose to quote a line from the movie “Friday”, and post … Continue reading “A Little Motivation for Friday from “Friday””

I relate to traditional storytelling in a new medium. I am very old-fashioned to the customs and traditions I’ve been grown into during my childhood.

You have the right to make things private or public or not  personalize any work you choose … Continue reading Read and Respond
