My Thoughts On DS106 Radio

I love the idea of a radio show. This will help us learn more about using sounds to convey a story. I think that the idea of using sound rather than text is lost in todays world and it would be fun to try and revive some of the old ways of using sound to tell stories. What I would […]

How Does Sound Drive Stories?

by @mto_morgan

| #audioreflection, Syndicated, Week 5
February 24, 2021

Stories would be nothing without sound. Stories have been told over and over again, each time the story teller uses their own unique sound to potentially paint a different picture than the previous story teller. This could contribute to how stories are changed over time. Even if people say the same words, each person can tell a story differently by […]

Above is my photo of a cat with a Shakespeare quote to go with it. As soon as I saw this quote I thought of the grumpy cat memes and it fits really well. I edited the photo on Canva to add the quote.

Above is my fun little golf camp poster. I made it on Canva using a simple template and it turned out to be fun. My mom and I have really got into golfing and I wish I would have started earlier. Its a fun and relaxing way to get out of the house and still maintain some sort of social […]

I think this message is important because we need not to repeat the bad things in history, only the good. I hope in the future we can rally together and fight against all of the bad things in the world and strive to achieve peace.

Becoming a Better Photographer

February 16, 2021

This is one of my favorite photos ever. It is hard to take a bad photo in this area of Alaska due to the natural beauty. In this photo I like the different tints and colors along with the selection of the shot. I like how the bottom is brown/ dark blue, the middle is white and the top is […]

My Experience in Photography

February 16, 2021

My experience in photography mainly comes from using my phone. I do have a crop sensor DSLR, but I have not had the inspiration to use it a whole lot. I personally love to take photos of the landscape. More specifically, I like taking pictures of the mountains. I love to go hiking so the photography aspect plays in nicely. […]

Batman: The Dark Knight

February 7, 2021

I love this story because it does not fit the normal narrative for a popular super hero movie. The theme for this movie is much darker than the normal movies that come from Marvel. The movie itself is about a man who appears to be a snarky rich guy, but is really a hero and loves his city. The movie […]

I’m all alone. My companion has not returned as he has a million times before. Something is wrong. My dad put me in this cold place underground and left me here. He gave me some pets, told me he would be right back. That was when the big explosion happened. I am scared, so I start to whine and claw […]

My new friend and I met in an ally way. I found this innocent pup beaten and battered, so I nursed him back to health. He did nothing to be treated this way, but I’m glad I was able to find him. We were now both orphans, lucky to find each other. I don’t know what his name was, but […]

As I sit on my porch, I am watching the snow blow with the breeze. The slight changes in the direction and power of which the snow blows intrigues me. The flakes themselves are massive, indicating the temperature must be at or above freezing. The grass peaks ever so slightly above the snow and is immobile under the weight of […]

I think this theme can be used now more than ever.
