This is my first tweet of the week at #ds106dc in response to the tweet at daily create.  I took this picture by laying down on the ground to give this little toy a taller and wider look. If you compare it with a tv behind, it definitely looks larger. @ds106dc #tdc2086 pic.twitter.com/0LQgJ2CZyT — Laila …

Photography is an art that I was never interested in, as a profession. Although I take a lot of pictures of me and my family to capture the memorable moments we spend together, these pictures do not have a depth that a professional person would like to see. So, I end up deleting these photos …

Whenever I thought of Superhero, an idea of Superman and Batman hovered over my mind. The idea of having colorful or different clothes, the impression that Superhero could fight the crime to bring justice in the world where he always wining the show, climbing high over buildings, hiding their identities from the public were some …

This is my second time of the week tweeting for ‘daily create’. The task was to illustrate one of the redundancies from the list they had provided in their tweet.  I tweeted the display of ‘Unexpected Surprise’. The reason of choosing this particular item from the list was because finding a picture related to this …

Today’s daily create asked us to make a ‘harsh truth poster’. ‘Nobody is indispensable’ is one of my favorite quote and I attached it to the lion’s picture to make a poster. This quote makes me never forget that how important the person might be, he is always replaceable.  

This week I tried to do three assignments from the assignment bank. I chose my first assignment from the web category.  It was about the drawing . I was tasked to draw wide range of doodles and the application made the guesses about what I was drawing. In the end, the prediction was matched with …
