Ted Talk

September 16, 2021

Each week, two of our assignments need to, in some way, relate to the DS106 course theme. Sometimes this can be difficult, but every once in a while you find an assignment that presents you with the exact opportunity you need. Enter, Fantasy TED Talks. This assignment involved photoshopping a person into a TED Talk. […]

September 16, 2021

Today I tried to pick just a few of Jim Richardson’s photographs which I liked the best. It wasn’t easy to narrow down my choices, but I feel these each exemplify different compositional techniques. Each of these is taken from the Small World Gallery website and is linked in the caption. This photo is allContinue reading "Jim Richardson"

Moments of Light: My Experience with Photography

September 16, 2021

by Thomas Pulsifer Photography has always been something I’ve had a passing interest in. The first photos I ever remember taking were done using my Nintendo 3DS camera in 2011. Back then, I’d mainly take photos of my toys, posing them dynamically for fun shots. Nowadays, I typically only partake in photography if something particularlyContinue reading "Moments of Light: My Experience with Photography"

September 16, 2021

For this ds106 visual assignment, I decided to use Bob Ross’ On A Clear Day, which I also use on the homepage of this site. Here you can see the entire painting however, whereas you only have the skyline on my homepage. The prompt for this assignment is to add some characters to one ofContinue reading "On A Clear Day… in the Land of Ooo"

For this assignment, I had to recreate an iconic movie scene. I chose to do the most iconic scene from Home Alone. With us soon to be approaching the holiday season, I thought this was fitting. I can’t wait to be watching holiday movies like Home Alone soon. It is my favorite time of year! …

I just had a few thoughts looking at some of this week’s creations. Some pictures tell a story, some pictures tell poetry Most of my photos tend to be documentary, capturing someplace I was, something I saw, someone I was … Continue reading ?

September 15, 2021

Pixel art is one of those things that I have wanted to try, but never really got around to doing. Well, that is no longer the case, as I have successfully completed the 256 Points assignment from the DS106 assignment bank. This assignment was to create an illustrated icon of a complex object in a […]

Visual Assignment: What the Meme?

by @KendraB999

| ds106, Syndicated, visualassignments, visualassignments386
September 15, 2021

During the process of creating this meme, I decided to relate it to something/someone I like. Will Smith, had a good hip-hop career, and he made a song called “Parents Just Don’t Understand”. This specific meme could be used when people have someone who doesn’t understand them or their point of view. It can be […]

One assignment from the DS106 assignment bank that caught my eye was the Valentine’s Day Caption Challenge. For this assignment, we had to take a postcard from a bank on Flickr and add a caption to “[raise] the love spirit to a new level.” Unfortunately, when I followed the link to find a card to […]

The Reincarnation of Photography

by @ashstvnz

| ds106, Syndicated
September 15, 2021

After reading Stuart Jeffries’ article in The Guardian, I’m left slightly divided. When I was in high school, there was literally no cooler aspiration than becoming a photographer. We didn’t have camera phones yet, decent camera phones yet and I don’t think any of us really expected them to evolve much beyond the grainy imagesContinue reading "The Reincarnation of Photography"

“Becoming A Better Photographer”

Depth: In this photo there was dimension added and you can see the different angles/use of lenses. I was looking off into the distance, which I think also emphasizes depth and the photos foreground. Moment: I say this photo was taken in the moment, with not much effort. You can tell there was some movement […]

This GIF is simply of one of my Sports Heroes, who is no longer here with us, Kobe Bryant. In many people’s eyes, he is a legend and a basketball icon . This GIF is meaningful, because being a basketball player myself, it sort of hits home. My first ever real basketball jersey was a […]

So, My Photoblitz started in my dorm, but eventually took me to places all across the lower side of campus. The first task was to take a picture with my camera at floor level, so I decided to snap a pic of the hallway outside my dorm room. Next, I had to photograph something loud. […]

For this assignment, I decided to draw myself from an old image of myself. I figured if I used an image I already had, and used it as a basis of creativity I could give it a different perspective. This drawing is of me, in high school, during one of my basketball games. I was […]

This week we focused on the storytelling side of digital media for our main projects, and kept things spicy with some more Daily Creates throughout the week. Watching Kurt Vonnegut define a story’s shape was both entertaining and enlightening. I doubt I’ve ever thought of a story in graph form before, but rather than minimizingContinue reading "Week 3 Summary"

After taking these photos for Photoblitz, I realized it is hard to have a specific eye of things you are told to capture. I understand that for many of these exercises people will choose to capture different types of images. Due to perception and interpretation, my idea of an interesting cloth design/texture, may not be […]

My Experience With Photography

Photography is something that I have some formal experience with, but often only use in a very casual way.
