    Can You Guess?

    by
    In this assignment, The Contest That Nobody Could Win, we were meant to “Take six very short fragments (less than one second each) from six different songs and ensemble them into a single piece.” Since I wanted to use songs that were already on my phone, AND that most people wouldn’t be able to guess most […]

    I Don’t Think You Can Guess

    by
    For this assignment, Favorite Song, the action was to take your favorite song, and remove the lyrics. Since the assignment said to use one of your favorite song I decided to use my actual #1 favorite song. You were also suppose to play only around 30 seconds of it so people could guess what song it […]

    Why Audio is Important!

    by
    Audio in storytelling is so important!! After listening to my favorite podcast, The Basement Yard, for coming up on a year now, I just got used to not hearing anything in the background. But then, after I listened to Moon Graffiti, it changed the whole game! I got so into the story that they were acting out. […]

    Clint Eastwood Has A Reason

    by
    In this assignment, Dramatic Reading Remix, we were assigned to take a song and dramatically read the lyrics. Then put them with different music to make it sound different. At first, I misread the instructions and dramatically read a songs lyrics to the song’s own music. I did Eye of the Tiger at first and then […]

    Weekly Summary 04

    by
    Even though this week I had negative time to work on things. Like this week every moment that I had free time, I would be doing homework and I was still pretty crunched on time. It seems I say this every week, but that’s the college life I guess. If you take a break for […]

    My Travels through Italy

    by
    For this assignment, I did Story Map. For this assignment they wanted me to use Knightlab’s Story Map. However, I wanted to make my own. So I made my own, “story map” of all of my pictures from when I went to Italy spring of 2015. Since we were on the topic this week of “Is photography […]

    A Colorful Lighthouse

    by
    I took on the assignment, Splash the Color, and I think it was a lot of fun! I love messing with color in pictures. In this assignment, you had to have a black and white picture with one object or subject full of color. So, there was a “splash” of color. When I read “splash” I […]

    My “Backyard” Shoot

    by
    As this week I was crunched for time like no other, I couldn’t take my sweet ole time doing these pictures. However I did take some advice into account. I started taking pictures in my backyard. And by “backyard” I mean around campus. And by “around campus” I mean a few from campus and most […]

    What I think

    by
    I did some slight research on Jim Richardson and thought that his work was amazing! First I looked at his National Geographic Photography, which I thought was amazing. I loved all the pictures of the different people, landscapes, and nature. Then I realized something. My friend has a smart TV in her apartment and when it […]

    The “Death” of Photography

    by
    In this post I am going to be reflecting to The Death of Photography by Stuart Jeffries from The Guardian. In many ways I agree with Jeffries. I have many memories of going to events and not really remembering it, however I also have other memories that I highly recorded yet still remember clearly. Maybe it’s how much […]

    Is Photoshop a Big Deal?

    by
    Now days, you probably can’t find a magazine on the shelf that doesn’t have a photoshopped picture in it. It’s human nature to correct our imperfections. Personally, I don’t have a problem with it because I know it’s not real. However, for mothers out there that have their children looking at these pictures and being […]

    Weekly Summary 03

    by
    In the spirit of this being the 1946 week, the pictures are of my grandfather, Victor Backhus who fought in WWII. I remember he wasn’t shy to tell stories of his time in service and would speak of them often. However, sadly he passed away August 8, 2009. This week has pretty busy for me, […]

    Progressive Thinking

    by
    I am going to be discussing what I thought about the article “As We May Think.” As I “read” this article, it was really hard for me to focus in on it. It was just so long! So as I skimmed it there were some good points in there. Mostly, I would like to talk […]
