Daily Creates And so we begin… I started this week by skimming through the visual assignments bank and saving a few of them that I could work on as time became available. I took my camera to school on Monday and Tuesday but honestly just couldn’t find the time to complete the 20 minute photo […]

February 7, 2020

This assignments is pretty simple. You choose a photo you’ve captured and tell everyone why you love it so much. I was trying to find a photo I took while in high school (2004) of a ferris wheel at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ. That is my absolute favorite image I’ve captured. Unfortunately, I […]

I chose to use my immediate family in my collage mimicking the Brady Bunch. I felt like it would be perfect because everyone pictured, means the world to me! On the top row (left-right), my sister, dad, my parent’s dog, my niece and my dog. On the bottom row, my sister’s dog, my brother, mom, … Continue reading "We’re the Real-Life Talbert Tribe!"

This visual assignment calls for the student to “make a collage out of photos of your pet” and it immediately spoke to my heart. I said goodbye to my fur baby last summer and have missed her dearly since then. I was actually thinking of her a lot today and think this would be a […]

The Story of an Image

by @missgoofyxx

February 7, 2020

In a lot of the photos we looked at this week, I found myself in awe of the photographer’s ability to catch a specific action that I knew only went on from a moment in time. Like the dip of a dancer or the second-long smile of an individual. You know that the photographer used […]

I started my daily creates with a relatively straightforward prompt, which was certainly a nice way to start off. We had to caption this photo: My mind immediately went to games of my youth and their rules and regulations, so I captioned it with a throwback to Hide ‘n Seek! The next Daily Create I […]

When I was in high school, I found photography interesting. I would take photos with an old polaroid camera my father had and then take the same photo, with a wider shot with a Nikon to play with layering them and making it seem as if the polaroid image was a zoomed in portion of […]

Again, I recommend more 80s Japanese music to listen to as you read: this one in particular struck a chord of tender nostalgia. I’ve listened to something similar as a kid, but every time I hum the tune I remember to my mom, she cannot place the song. It’ll take me a few days to … Continue reading "Update:「Week 3」+ Analysis"

January 31, 2020

As I mentioned in my last week’s summary, I was hoping to watch They Live (1988) on my roommate’s Hulu. Unfortunately, that requires another subscription to something called Starz – which, as you can infer, my roommate doesn’t have. So I’m left again to rely on summaries and my memories of watching the movie 5 … Continue reading "The Apex of Megalomania, the Ultimate In-Control"

Enjoy a picture of my family and I from early 2000! Guess which baby I am.

One of my shticks from my Intro to Digital Studies course last semester was that I made quite a few pieces of interactive fiction. They were told in the second-person perspective using “you” to refer to the main character, who is intended to be an insertion of the reader. I like the style, for it … Continue reading "I’m a real boy."
