A white sandy beach, bright blue water and a chair. That is my idea of paradise. About now, I could use a little beach therapy. Since I am mid semester, I can’t leave but I can dream. The Destination Postcard assignment hit the mark for me. We were asked to find a picture and create … Continue reading "Paradise Found"

This design assignment was one of my favorites since it had to do with film! The objective was to pick a movie and break it down into four elements and to have others guess what movie the icons represented. I love classic movies and was excited to take one of my favorites apart and present … Continue reading "One Story/ Four Icons"

I decided to take this class several days after it had begun. I enjoy the type of work the class covers so was not worried about taking it online while living 3 hours away. Well, I quickly began to feel overwhelmed as I tried to catch up the mid-week assignment and do week 1. I … Continue reading "Wow!"

The visual assignment Create Your Own Spubble was an opportunity to create my own panel of a comic strip using a picture of myself. The goal was to take a picture of you doing one thing and make it seem as if you are doing another. As a very animated person, I have a tendency … Continue reading "My Spubble"

This assignment gave us fifteen minutes to go on a “photo safari” to take as many pictures as we could of the examples on the list provided. The options ranged from a photo of a pattern, to an inanimate object being brought to life. I chose to go to my room to hunt down some … Continue reading "Photo Safari"

After reading The Story Behind. . . Migrant Mother, Maria Popova, the importance of a single picture became more clear. Her seemingly candid photos captured the feelings, heart and soul of an entire era. I was inspired to create a picture that told a story. While my picture is nowhere near as deep as anything … Continue reading "Reflections on Photography"

I really like looking at interesting layouts of clothing and accessories on places like fashion blogs, Instagram, and Pinterest. I chose to try some of the tips I learned from Becoming a Better Photographer to create my own layouts and had a blast! I experimented with contrast, perspective, lighting, balance, foreground and background. After many attempts, … Continue reading "Add a Little Sparkle"

Don’t tell my mom, but I miss my pets the most. Well, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but I do miss them a lot. One day, I might pack my pup with my clean laundry and sneak him back to UMW with me. He could sleep in my dorm room, follow me to class, and be … Continue reading "Team Pup"

Growing up, I loved ISpy books. They were big books filled with page after page of close up photos of random objects laying on a surface. Each page had a riddle with items to find in the photograph. It sounds easy but sometimes the close up photos made a simple object look like something … Continue reading "iSpy"

One day last Fall, I received a random call from a teammate asking me to come over to see the puppies she was fostering. Well, of course I ran over because who doesn’t love puppies? I could not believe my eyes when I saw this one little guy. He looked EXACTLY like my 14 year … Continue reading "Twinsies!"

Setting up my domain and getting my blog up and running was honestly an extremely stressful process.
