Giant Pencil Holding
A while ago I tried to create the optical illusion that I was holding the Washington Monument … BUT I think I needed to be further away for it to look right. “A” for effort though, right?

Splish Splash
I actually really enjoyed this assignment because I had never used photoshop. It took a bit of googling to figure out how to get just a single color in the photo but once I figure it out I had a lot of fun with it! I actually edited a few more pictures that I thought […] -
Journey to Becoming a Better Photographer?
I tried to find examples of all of the aspects of photography. It was a bit difficult since I don’t often take pictures (see previous post titled Visual Storytelling for a deeper explanation). With that being said, these photos probably aren’t the best representation of the aspects of photography, but I think they are decent […] -
Visual Storytelling
When it comes to capturing a picture, I tend to get lost in the moment and forget to capture an image to remember it by. I find myself looking back on a day and wishing I had captured something to remember it by. Most of my pictures in my phone are silly pictures of me […] -

Summin it up – round 3
I was excited about this weeks assignments because it required me to interact with friends, talk about my favorite person (my mom), and I got to show off some of my favorite pictures of sunsets. I ended up sending my mom the post I wrote about her and she was very touched by what I […] -
Am I a Storyteller?
I am not a huge fan of telling people personal details about my life – especially random strangers on the internet (sorry folks), but let me give you a glimpse. When I was watching Kurt Vonnegut talk about the shape of stories, I started wondering how I would draw my graph. My life has been […] -

Story Time
This assignment was something that I actually really enjoyed. I ended up texting two friends to see if one of them was free to help me with this assignment and surprisingly, both of them replied in a timely manner. So instead of just going with one story, I sent the same opening line to both […] -
Dear Mom,
To the woman who has inspired me the most, encouraged me to be my best self, and has shown me the epitome of strength – thank you. From the best, to the worst times, you have continued to be my best (and lifelong) friend. You often tell me how proud you are of me, but […] -
Canvas of Colors
For as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with sunsets. Each one changes by the minute and either gets more vibrant, or fades away with the day. When I saw the assignment “Another Day” in this weeks assignment bank, I knew it was perfect for me. Sunsets are something that I cherish […] -

The Kardashians Are Eyeing Me
Big, anime eyes on people look very funny because of the proportions on the face. Usually big eyes are used in anime or princess characters, but for this assignment, I chose to give big bug eyes to Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner. It is crazy how now on social media apps […] -
Bee-lieve it or not
In the Visual Assignments section, I found an assignment to post your favorite photo you’ve taken and tell the story of why you love it. When I took this photo, I was a Longwood University playing softball for the club team at UMW. We had just gotten new balls donated to us with the coolest […] -
Spill the Tea
One of the assignments this week from the Design Assignments was to create a charity ad. One of my all time favorite charities is 4Ocean. The work they do is incredible and so inspiring. In relation to our theme of “What is Our Story”, this charity was what introduced me to ocean conservation. I got […] -
Gif or Jif?
One of the assignments from the section “Animated GIF Assignment” for this week was to create 4-5 gifs (btw, how do you pronounce this?) of your favorite TV show. Of course, I had to choose the most dramatic show on television; The Bachelor! My favorite part of each season is the first episode where the […] -

What’s the Story/Theme?
