    Week 4 Summary

    by
    The first assignment provided me a realization regarding my relationship with photography. It was difficult to write that post while coming to an understanding of what photography means to me, but I’m grateful that I did. I think I’d much rather enjoy a product than be the one creating it (just cause I accept that my … Continue reading "Week 4 Summary"

    Cinematography – The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

    by
    I enjoy a film with good cinematography and was excited about this assignment. Although when I began watching “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” I realized that the cinematography that I had grown to love was quite different from black and white pictures with older technology and techniques. Characters wore contrasting clothing from one another to … Continue reading "Cinematography – The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"

Take a picture of fire or something that represents fire. Make a photograph that illustrates the weather where you are. Find a pool, puddle, or other body of still water. A … Continue reading "Photoblitzer"

    Week 3 Summary

    by
    Week 3 was a busy week! I enjoyed reading and responding to “Ice Man”. Along with “Ice Man”, I chose to respond to “The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky”. As I stated in my earlier post, it allowed me to experience the Western theme from a different viewpoint. In conjunction with that, I applied Kurt Vonnegut’s ideas … Continue reading "Week 3 Summary"

    Response – Kurt Vonnegut on the Shapes of Stories

    by
    I enjoyed watching Kurt Vonnegut’s video regarding the shape and course of stories, specifically his use of humor regarding the topic. After reading and responding to the short story, Ice Man, I struggled to fit a shape Vonnegut described to the story. The main character starts out well, but upon meeting the I.C.E agent (the Ice Man) his story line … Continue reading "Response – Kurt Vonnegut on the Shapes of Stories"

    The Outlaw

    by
    She’s not a bad person, but that doesn’t mean she’s not guilty. She can’t stay put for long; it increases her chances of getting caught. The wilderness is her home, a place where the law can’t follow her. She follows her own rules, which is why the they’re out to get her. Wanted: Dead or Alive. … Continue reading "The Outlaw"

    Writing Assignment – Instagram Is Down…DESCRIBE Your Lunch To Me!

    by
    Earlier today I trudged through the snow for lunch with Christine, Britta, Maddy and Kelsey. We walked from campus over to Kumo Sushi where we each ordered about three rolls. I ordered, as part of the lunch special, the spicy scallop roll, tuna & avocado roll and the spicy salmon roll. Before the rolls were ready … Continue reading "Writing Assignment – Instagram Is Down…DESCRIBE Your Lunch To Me!"

    Week 2 Summary

    by
    Thankfully I adjusted my WordPress theme during week 1 so I didn’t have to worry about changing much this week (although that didn’t stop me from playing around with all the different themes). The only thing I edited was my about page. While my about description is simple, I think it perfectly summarizes my educational goals … Continue reading "Week 2 Summary"

    Design Assignment – Most Wanted Outlaws

    by
    For my second assignment, I decided to create a wanted poster for Jesse James. I used the website mobile fish and read up on the famous outlaw. Jesse James was a Confederate soldier who, following the wars end, created the James-Younger Gang. They robbed banks, stagecoaches and trains. He murdered a county clerk on accident, thinking it … Continue reading "Design Assignment – Most Wanted Outlaws"

    Social Media as Storage

    by
    I expressed my concerns regarding social media in my week 1 summary blog post, and professor Bond responded to my thoughts, stating that these platforms are used as storage for the multitude of different thoughts, opinions or artistic expressions individuals share. His comment altered my perception of social media. Thinking of it more as a storage device makes … Continue reading "Social Media as Storage"

    Week 1 Summary

    by
    Are you exhausted yet? YES! There is a reason why I don’t have this many social media sites: I don’t know how to work them! It’s been a struggle setting up the multiple accounts along with learning how to publish/interact

    Yeeeehaww!

    I have to disagree with “How the Western Was Lost (and Why It Matters)”; the article took the waning popularity of the genre as a dire outcome created by our society. “For a century plus, we have relied on Westerns to
