Using 10 gifs to retell a movie. I chose to retell Coming to America, which is another wonderful 80s movie. I used my memory of the movie to google search specific movie parts and find the gifs to represent those moments.

The Story of an Image

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 […]

January 31, 2020

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."

For one of my journal prompts, I was instructed to take a moment to watch someone I’m grateful for and focus on them for 10 minutes. Nothing else. No eating or drinking. No television on. Nothing but that individual. If possible, I wasn’t supposed to interact with them, instead just observe them without them noticing. […]

You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal.

January 31, 2020

In 1985, the classic film “The Breakfast Club” sent five high school students to all-day attention, where they wrote those words about themselves. The film is excellent, showing the cultural values of idealism, family, and fear. The Breakfast Club addresses stereotyping very well. It shows how everyone’s lives are different and that everyone has this fear of … Continue reading "You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal."
