This week was a pretty good one. Photography has been a skill that I have known a little bit about but have yet to really get into it. Overall, I enjoyed the assignments for this week and here’s my work: A Day of My Life: https://gannonradenberg.home.blog/2019/09/25/a-day-of-my-life/A Day of My Life: ds106 Photo Assignments: https://gannonradenberg.home.blog/2019/09/25/a-day-of-my-life/ds106 Photo […]

I’ve looked at some photos from the 80’s on google and I found a lot of pictures with a political agenda. You can definitely see there was some conflict in the political landscape back then. Of course even today there is still conflict when it comes to politics. I also saw a lot pictures showcasing […]

While I’m by no means a pro at photography, there are a few basic tips about photography that I know are extremely helpful when trying to get good photos. The first tip is using the Rule of Thirds. I learned this back in high school when I started taking a video production class. The rule […]

Photography week is definitely one I easily got myself lost in. I enjoy the challenge of finding a “new” abandoned building(though I didn’t use it for any of the assignments). I also loved being introduced to Annie Leibovitz and the malls of the 1980 ‘s. What’s beautiful is that it’s all about capturing this moment … Continue reading Week 4 Summary-Photography

Since this course is 1980’s themed I figured I’d go ahead and do tips on film photography. There are things you have to keep in mind when you want to shoot a good unfiltered picture on film. You have to be more purposeful. Film is limited, so take all the general tips of photography like … Continue reading Film Photography Tips

This week I was tasked with completing 8 stars worth of assignments involving photos on the ds106 assignment bank. Here’s my results: 9-Step Photo Collage (3 Stars) Cropped Signs (2 Stars Create A Game of Thrones House (...

For this day of my life I used photos to represent my average weekday. Most days i go to work, school and come home to do homework.

Since it is hard for me to take a full-body picture of myself, I decided to use an old picture of me doing a bigfoot pose for this little project. I would like to tackle this assignment again with a little help in taking a better picture for the task....

This is a typical day in my life when I am not at school or when my children are at their dad’s house. This particular weekend involved potting my new plants and testing out one of my Polaroids. My picture was distorted, because the film got stuck. I had also recently joined a postcard club … Continue reading A Day in the Life (a visual story)

The writing wasn’t so bad. I had some trouble trying to loop in the 80’s theme into them but overall I feel like it went well. I also commented on one shea’s tweets I thought was funny.

Storytelling is something that is all around us. It is something we need to familiarize ourselves with in order to compete and stay relevant. Although stories do follow the same overused outline there are ways to brand a story in a way that makes it refreshing. It is no secret that Hollywood isn’t producing “new” … Continue reading Summary week 3

My last words would be “That’s all folks”. The event that would lead me to say this is sky diving from a plane and the parachute not activating. Moments before I hit the ground those would be my last words.

I recently just joined a postcard club and will be sending out postcards this week. I have already received 3 since joining. My plan is to find a stack of old unused postcards from an antique store and use my typewriter to write them out. I will update this post when I have finished writing … Continue reading Letter from out of the blue

I ran across this article a couple years ago and it helped me to practice better writing. https://www.writingforward.com/writing-tips/the-22-best-writing-tips-ever This article contains similar advice but geared towards fiction more. https://www.iu...

If I was to spend a single day as someone it would be Arnold Schwarzenegger. He may be older now but he’s still physically stronger than I’ll ever be. I would spend a good part of my day seeing what I could lift. I would then spend the rest of my day saying random things […]

I am a spider, a small and often harmless thing. I spin my webs to capture the bugs that plague your house. As I come down to crawl across the floor I see a titan walk closer with a heavy object at hand. I see a shadow descend as my fate is about to t...

For this assignment I debated about using the emotion “inspiring” since the songs I find that make me happy, pumped, or just plain emotional I find them to also be inspiring. So I decided to just go with happy to narrow it down. The first song is called Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic … Continue reading Happy music

This week had pretty simple tasks but they still kept me busy. For starters I went onto Twitter and participated in some Daily Create activities. My twitter handle is @gannon1980s After that I watched a couple videos. One was over good forms of storytelling and the other was over how we use the web and […]

This week I have been tasked with finding a couple good resources for advice on writing. I myself am not great at writing but am trying to get better so researching advice should also help me as well. For my first resource I found an article from Goins, Writer: How to Be a Good Writer […]

Some people sprayed me the other day. It left a mark. They were chased away by flashing lights before they could finish. I enjoyed their company and I hope they will come back to visit me again. It was nice not feeling forgotten in this dark alley. Why were they chased off? Were they doing … Continue reading Nonhuman Perspective

One of my assignments this week was to complete 10 stars worth of assignments in the writing section of the ds106 assignment bank. This week I completed: assignments.ds106.us/assignments/instagram-is-done-describe-your-lunch-to-me/ (3.5 stars) For lunch today I made a sandwich. This sandwich was made with rotisserie seasoned sliced chicken breast, pepper jack cheese, mayonnaise and lettuce on two […]
