What’s in my Bag?
by @angelk1208 May 24, 2019For my third Visual Assignment, I chose the “What’s in Your Bag?” prompt. I keep my everyday backpack pretty clean and simple, or at least I try to! The main essential things that I carry with me are: Wallet Besides my cards and money, my set of keys are attached to my wallet, so that […] -
Shadow of a Doubt
by @BreeNicholson14 May 23, 2019You hear a creak down the hallway in the middle of the night. You’re in bed and sit up, trying to decide if it is worth it to check out the disturbance. You listen, and hear nothing, so you decide to lie back down. Just as you go to close your eyes and fall back… -
A Close-Up
by @angelk1208 May 23, 2019For my second Visual Assignment, I picked the Close-Up Photo. Here is my mysterious close-up picture. Can you guess what it is? Comment if you got an idea! It took me some time to figure out what to take a photo of, because there are so many choices! Once I decided on the object, I […] -
Five Frame Story
by @BreeNicholson14 May 23, 2019I chose do tell a story using only five photos for one of our visual assignments this week. Can you guess what the story is about? The story is about feeding my bunny! Though it might not seem like a very interesting subject, I thought it would make a fun and cute story as it… -
My Very Own Spubble
by @angelk1208 May 23, 2019After reading the prompt for this speech bubble, I immediately thought of this photo of me. I decided to make my speech bubble say “Did I really just dropped my croissant?” because I thought it was silly and fits with the sad expression I was making. In general, isn’t it always the worst when you […] -
Your Very Own Spubble
by @BreeNicholson14 May 23, 2019For our Spubble Assignment I decided to go with a picture of a beautiful german shepherd pup I babysit from time to time! This is a picture I took while playing with the pup, then used an app to superimpose a text bubble over the original pic, all advice I read from another student’s site!… -
Bucket List!
by @angelk1208 May 23, 2019For my first Visual Assignment, I chose to do the Bucket List. My bucket list consists of: Graduating college This is obviously part of my bucket list, as it would be such a great accomplishment to finish school and get my degree! Visiting Switzerland I once did a project on Switzerland for my French class […] -

@ds106dc A hero I've come to discover recently would be Selena Gomez! I've always known she was an amazing singer, but have recently learned about her charitable achievements, like creating and donating to several charities for young people, ... -
Weekly Summary 1
This week was a fun one! I like photography, but am a very novice photographer. I like to do it mostly for myself, and my memories. So it was fun to try new things including taking photos in a new way. First, I followed the tips to make myself a better photographer by David DuChemin. This was my summary on what I came out with It was fun to implement new thought processes on my picture taking, and I want to try and think about these tips more often when taking photos. Next was the photo blitz assignment, which was fun. I think I stressed myself out too much with the idea of being timed, but came out with a result I’m proud of nonetheless. I discuss it further in my reflection below, which also holds my photos I took then. I also did Daily Creates for May 20th, May 21st, and May 22nd. They were all just easy questions to be answered, but were interesting questions that I hadn’t been asked before. For the creative assignments I made Harry Styles swim in our pool, Gave a room tour, Made a butterfly stand out, and gave myself a spubble, which is an odd phrase. I really liked the assignments this week. The hardest part for me was actually writing about what I’d done. Doing the projects was easy and enjoyable, but writing about them for some reason for me was like pulling teeth. But it’s just going to take some time for me to get used to! Learning about visual storytelling is engaging to me. The work of breaking it down into smaller pieces and dissecting them is something I’ve never done before, but is something so important to do. Every part is important, and visual might be the most important. Without visual aspects, storytelling isn’t as efficient. -
DS106 Midweek Post
Hi, I’m Kelsey Proctor and this is my mid weekly summary! Here are the links to my social media and digital identity accounts: Twitter, Flickr, Soundcloud, and my YouTube. The only new accounts I created here was Soundcloud! I heavily used Flickr in the past but haven’t in years, and I’m excited to get back […] -

New Photographer On The Scene
When going through the highlighted tips from David DuChemin, the one that stuck out to me was Put a Great Foreground in Front of a Great Background Pay attention to the near and far. A landscape scene is dull without something in the foregroun... -
Photo Blitz
Each photo’s caption tells which one I tried to make each photo fit to. I also didn’t quite catch the clock right on the 15 minute mark, but 30 seconds over I promise I didn’t cheat. The hardest part for me was deciding what was good enough to photograph, and it’s where I wasted most of my time. It was enough time, but the fact that I was being timed freaked me out and I felt pressured to photograph just the right things. I used my Canon EOS T7i to take photos. -
spubbling and swimming
When thinking of the Spubble assignment, I tried to think of something that I would find myself thinking frequently. What kind of phrase would describe me. I came up with this, because I find myself thinking that exact thought right before most ev... -
Hey MTV, welcome to my crib!
Oh hey, I didn’t see you there! Come into my crib! I decided to do the room tour assignment. I just moved, and so my room is actually organized and clean, which is rare. I used my phone to take photos, just for convenience sake. T... -
just a pop of color
Color is beautiful. It makes everything around us exactly what it is. Nothing exists without color. But sometimes the absence of color is even more beautiful and has a way of conveying the story even more. For this assignment I did Splash Of Color. ... -
Mid Week 1 Summary
I am glad that this class required us students to make and/or use our websites. During my freshman year, I heard that students of UMW are able to create their own websites through the school for free! I was going to make my website, but never got around to it until now. Even though it […] -
All These Different Platforms!
I had a fun time creating new accounts for these new social media platforms. At first I was confused while creating some of the accounts because I was not familiar with them except for a few. For Twitter, I already had an account where I keep up with music artists and other celebrities. However last […] -
Week 1 Midweek Summary
As this is the first time I’ve ever worked with setting up my own domain or sites, it is fair to say it’s been a bit of a learning curve, but I love how my sites are turning out and I definitely have learned a lot! I decided to go with subdomains for my classes… -
Hello on Social Media!
For our first task, we were to create different accounts with several social media sites to test our imbedding skills and to create different ways of connecting with each other! Here are some of my flickr images: Here is my very first Twitter post! I have also never published anything to YouTube before, so I… -
All of my Hellos
Speaking on any social media platform is never very easy, especially when I have to use my name, face, or voice. I guess with Facebook, it’s unavoidable as using my face and name is literally the entire point of the site. But I don’t have much confidence or desire to really show myself like that.… -
My media accounts!
For the most part, I’ve already had my own personal accounts and didn’t need to create an entire new one specifically for this class. However, I’ve never used nor had Twitter and Flickr account and creating them was relatively simple and easy. Twitter was much more easier and simple to configure and it prompts you… -
UMW’s newest swim team member
For the assignment Pop Star Out Of Place, I decided Harry Styles would look lovely in UMW’s own Goolrick pool. I started by thinking of my favorite pop star to put somewhere odd, which is absolutely Harry Styles. Then I thought of placed... -
The Struggle is Real
Trying to set up my Domain and Social Media took a lot longer than expected to. I thought already having an established domain would make my life much easier. But, I was proved wrong. I couldn’t use the blog I had already created because the class I used it for made it so the blog … -
All the Different Media Introductions
Introductions for me seem to always be hard since I never know what to say or what would be interesting for people to hear about me. I don’t mind doing introductions without showing my face, like on Twitter or on Flickr (personal favorite since I love finding picture to express who I am). However, I … -
Hello to All!
This is my very first blog, blog post, and setting up my own domain and such. It’s all still very new as I’m also working with my father, as he has everything extremely secure,so I can access my own domain without having to use my hotspot on my phone! But overall this is all a… -
Week 1 midweek summary
So far so good. As far as setting up my domain kayliebenson.com, it was pretty simple. I had set this up initially my freshman year, and was pretty excited about it then. I have since somewhat abandoned it, so the hardest part was becoming re-familiar with things like setting up a new page and customizing […]
