Creating my own logo was actually a pretty good way of realizing how to simplify myself. I realized what I would like the basic message of myself to be. I thought about how I would use this logo to start off with. Instagram? My website? Twitter? Th...

My week started with a reflection on my favorite part […]

May 26, 2019

I’d like to share with you an article I was assigned this week on Dorothea Lange. I was previously familiar with Lange’s work because my family is from the midwest (Missouri), and I went through a phase of becoming really interested in “grit lit”, or literature based on rural communities, the Ozarks, or immigration literature.

Okay, so I know this may seem unrecognizable, but check out this picture I got on Snapchat on my way home: So, I’m on my way home when I see him and I KNOW it’s Black Panther – he’s strong, and sleek and he’s gone before I can get anything more than this image. I […]

For this assignment, we had a fifteen-minute window to take as many photos as possible which we thought would apply to a list of certain topics or ideas. Some of the topics seemed vague to me, which didn’t exactly help since those topics could be interpreted differently by different people. I understand that it was […]
