I absolutely love this picture of my best friend Mel and I. It just takes me back to freshman year of school when we had so little to worry about. The leap in this picture is so carefree and indicative of the life we used to live before we …

I had fun with this assignment, however, I found myself regretting the program I used to create it as I tried to save it in a format that would allow me to open it in this post. I used Microsoft Powerpoint to create my poster detailing what’s “inside of me”. …

“Never define your life in black and white because there’s so much hiding among the grays.” This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. Which ironically enough is why it’s my philosophy. I chose this picture to create my poster because I feel it just so accurately meshes …

I chose to do this design assignment because I really enjoyed the idea of using a picture and titling it to represent my life. It’s hard to come up with a title for your life I soon found out the hard way. However, I finally decided on a title I …

In order to create an alternative book cover I had to find a book in which I could alter the meaning. That was the difficult part for me. I couldn’t find a book title where I could insert a different picture to make it appear to be about something different. …

  This is representative of my time at Wegmans. I have been working for Wegmans since I was fifteen and I am still working there on my breaks from school. I started out working on the front end as a cashier. I paid my dues after spending three years on …

                      Mission Defamiliarize was my favorite assignment! I enjoyed taking everyday items and photographing them in a way that portrays them as unfamiliar items. The first picture is of my kitchen cabinets, taken from an angle underneath them and then …

The most challenging aspect of this assignment was finding a picture that would work well with a speech bubble. Once I had this picture picked out all I could think of was the actual conversation that took place while this picture was being taken so I think that hindered my …

I had fun collecting the items to photograph for this assignment. Everything in this bucket was sitting somewhere in my kitchen. I chose these items because they were brightly colored and I thought they would make for an interesting color twist. I tweaked the color in this photo by …

This picture was taken earlier in the semester with one of my best friends Alyssa. I had fun finding a picture that I could take to the place in which it was taken.  When I was taking the picture of the picture I realized just how many pictures …

The thing I hold most dear to my heart is my family. Things break, relationships fail, the glitter in the air will fade but your family is timeless. Even when they are no longer with you, they helped shape who you are and their memories will help shape who …

I created a Digital Story about wine!

I used Animoto to create my Digital story. I was introduced to Animoto last semester and I fell in love with it! It’s super user friendly and the videos always come out so beautiful!

It was great to finally put my …

This is a magnetic picture frame with three pictures stuck to it. I simply played around with the angle of the picture, and the exposure. My goal in making these pictures of myself and my cousins my own piece of artwork was to draw the eye to other elements …

I had so much fun putting together the things about myself that are an indicator of how old I feel. I suppose I should explain a couple of these items huh?

The poster sporting my name in imaginative pink objects keeps me feeling young. My mom brought that back for …

This is my one and only tattoo.

I got this in October of 2008 right after my birthday. I distinctly remember my parents taking me out for my birthday dinner and telling me not to go and do anything stupid now that I was 18… less than a month later …

I’ve got to hand it to you, you’ve got a way of catching detail.

Through the valleys of empty space and contours of hard work, the creases a map of your life always with you. You carry it with you, sometimes in your pockets, sporting gloves swinging in rhythm with …

Take a picture of your favorite memory.

My mom has always been my best friend. When I was younger I would scream and cry when she tried to leave me with anyone else. The only way she could escape the house without me was if she put one of …

If everything you lose ends up in the same place, is it really lost?

Lost waiting to be found, stored waiting to be used.

The Black Hole

Take a picture of a place where you always lose things.

I get home from class, work, gym-

Where do I throw …
