Last day last assignments.
comics
So it has been a good year. I really liked this class. It was fun I wish there were more classes like this umdst 2 or I wish I could keep taking this class for credit. The comic as a final project was fun. It was a bit labor intensive at points but I’m glad I chose to work on this one.
Well done sir.
Goodbye and have a nice life.
My people. I took the theme of my people to be that my people are the people that I share similar interests and actions to. We appreciate similar things even if I don’t personally know these people.
The first picture is of Angell Hall which is by far my favorite building on campus. This building contained “my people” this year. It was where I had my Screen Arts and Culture classes this year and the meeting place for DORAK, a club I belong to. I often sit on the steps and people watch similar to the people you see in the picture
The second picture is my favorite type of weather. I like walking out in rain storms and I consider my people those who enjoy it too. Rainy days aren’t most people’s favorite kind of day, but they are mine.
The following picture was from game day. I really like this picture because it was taken near the very end of the game when points were close and people weren’t sure who was going to win. My people are people who are out late at night. My people are are also people who are concerned with the University of Michigan.
The fourth picture was taken at the musical “Pirates of Penzance.” My people are people who enjoy watching stories be it musicals or television. In this particular show two of my friends are actors.
My people play video games. This was taken at Kgrams event. This particular game was one of my favorites when I was a kid. My people don’t necessarily have to be alive/real people.
The following photo is also about playing video games but in a different way. My people are people who both like things and demonstrate their affection for them. These people play or have played Mario Kart and liked it enough to create a real life version of it.
My seventh photo is of my roommates and one of their friends working in our dorm room. My people don’t always have to be doing something special, sometimes my people just want to sit on their computer or talk like normal people.
The following photo represents how sometimes my people don’t always act like normal people. If you missed it the guy on the far left is a real person posing in the window with the mannequin. My people are the people who like to do odd things with their life.
The 9th photo is another way in which my people like to do odd things with their day. My friend Devin and I decided we wanted to climb the roof of a school so we did. Looking over the edge was something we wanted to do so we did it. Not the average Saturday.
The 10th and final picture is my friend Jo going down a path. I felt this was a good final piece as it seem to have closure to it, it looks like a final scene. In this particular scene my people are people who don’t venture into nature often and get lost on North Campus. We did eventually find where we were going but this was the moment that we actually found the building after wander around for a while. We finally found our way again.
In an attempt to make all the picture go together I set them up as “scenes” rather than portraits. These were also shots from real life so they have a story with them rather than being posed pictures in a studio.
This is Brian
He’s the one who gave us crazy homework.
Post a video of your favorite word in a foreign language.

Except Pavel….He knew too much
Brian asks his class “Does anyone Listen to radio?”
No one raises their hand…..
NO ONE! #RadioLoneliness
This is for my photo essay. I think “my people” and I really like sitting on the steps of angel hall and my kind of people are the ones that like that too. My people are also the people who attend classes at U of M. We belong to a community.
I wanted to experiment with looking at things from a different angle and conflict in seeing things from a different perspective . How looking over the edge or up a wall can give new perspective to a something.
lots of pictures
The year is nearly done. I’ve taken a couple pictures to be part of my photo essay. Still need to find a few more but I’ve got a couple that I really like. Also been working on the comic for the final project. I think it’s going well just need to decide on final details.
I feel like my face has weird angles so in photos I sometimes don’t look like myself. Also for this I feel like the background tells more about me than my face does.
In response to watching Master of Photography I thought it was really interesting. I especially liked the idea that photographs capture a moment in time and that moment allows us to scrutinized something more than we normally would. Photographs capture a single moment. I’ve seen several that we not true to what was happening. Like a photo where someone looks angry but really the camera caught them at an off moment. Photographs can also capture a moment perfectly.
I like photographs because they let us see a moment in the past. If the picture is of something that I forgot about it’s interesting to see how the memories can come back. Sometimes photography can be deceptively simple but it can also be more difficult than people think because of all the choices that can be made to compose a piece.
On a final note I also liked the idea that something boring can become interesting. Every once and a while I think to myself. Isn’t it amazing that we even exist. That I met someone we talked and now we’re friends. That of all the people in the world I met this one person and we decided to be friends. Its “boring” that we have friends usually people have friends but it can become fascinating when you think about it for a while.
I tried making dishes look pretty. They look better when they are blurry! I also like this angle it’s kind of nice.
