What’s in Ella’s bag??

by @MaddieM02790291

September 21, 2018

I chose this bag because it is big enough to fit all of Ella’s witchcraft needs but also stylish and modern. I also envision Ella as a boho and hippie-esque. Ella’s bag has to be big enough to fit her scrying stone that allows her to do her magic. She does not carry it with her …

I really enjoyed reading Becoming Better Photographers and Photography and narrative: What is involved in telling a story?. I think they both gave me good, new perspectives on photography and how to tell richer stories using photography.

I was intrigued by this Photoblitz Challenge… I enjoy challenges that are timed because then you have to go with a lot of your first instincts- you do not have time to overthink it. I also thought this was a fun activity to get the creative juices flowing. I decided to walk downtown to see …

September 17, 2018

I do not have any real experience with photography beyond taking pictures of my friends. I have very little experience editing images… I have worked with images through sites such as Shutterfly before, and I have applied Instagram filters to pictures, but that’s about it. I take some pictures, but I would not say that …

September 14, 2018

Storytelling has been around for centuries, so it makes sense that the mediums used for it have changed. At the end of the day, what societies look like change, but they are still made up of people with the same basic needs and desires. As humans, one of our core desires is to relate to …

We have all been there. We are not interested in doing something, yet our friend somehow convinces us to do it… Sometimes it works out, but also sometimes we end up looking like this… The clip I chose to use was one taken by my former roommate of us sledding together on one trash bag …
