    Create A New You

    by
    For this assignment, I went back to the handy dandy camp packing list, per usual! When I used PicMonkey for my first visual assignment, I noticed that there were many photo editing tools which could potentially be used to “improve” one’s appearance. I started off with a photo of myself and uploaded it to the ...

    Common Everyday Object

    by
    For the Common Everyday Object Visual Assignment, I started off by taking a bunch of pictures around my house. I had a hard time choosing between a photo of a clock and one of a fork and a spoon. As you will see below, I went with the fork and spoon photo! I chose to ...

    Draw It.

    by
    For the “Draw It” assignment, I used the free web-based image editing site, Photoshop Express. It was one of the only sites on the packing list that had a drawing transformation feature. The sites on the packing list have all been very helpful and have liked each of them for different reasons. As I continue to ...

    Warhol Something

    by
    For this second visual assignment, I “Warholed Something” using the photo editing site called Aviary, mentioned on our camp packing list. Aviary actually provided a tutorial on “Warholizing” an image using their photo editing tools. I chose a picture of my dog, Tux, to “Warhol.” I followed the instructions step-by-step in the tutorial and I think I ...

    Flock Together & Share

    by
      “Sharing is Caring,” words my mother instilled in me a long time ago. I found this picture on the Creative Commons website and it looked as if all the origami birds are looking over and reviewing something. That is where I got the idea of  ”Flocking Together.. Sharing Ideas.” I also like how each ...

    Catch Me in the Beach

    by
    I absolutely love where I am from. Colonial Beach, Va. It is a very small beach, but it gets a lot of attention during the holidays and the summer. When I saw this assignment I got a tad bit excited. Mainly because not many people know where Colonial Beach, Virginia is. This again was an ...

    Music is Life

    by
    My life revolves around music. Music is one of my main types of communication. Words that I couldn’t say, I would find a song that stated how I felt and played it for the person, or ask the person to listen to it. I was always on the top of my music but listening to ...

    Together We Can

    by
    This picture of four people holding hands is a great design for DS106. Everyone pretty much knows that this is an online class so we don’t physically see each other everyday. But with that, it is amazing to me how we can all come together as one and get things done. For example, the collage ...

    Hungry?

    by
    I took this picture  in church a couple of week ago, when my cousin, Mariah, was eating a pop tart and not sharing. Every time someone someone asked her for a piece she would give them this look. When I seen the option of making a captioned picture I knew this would be the one. I again ...

    Photography at Camp

    by
    Photography has always been a way for me to express my most silent thoughts. Through photography I am able to tell stories, convey emotions that words cannot describe. Not even in a million years. Sometimes it is interesting to hear … Continue reading

    Photography in the mirror – DS106

    by
     “…the act and process of being deliberately thoughtful about what you are seeing. To see what you are looking at.” D’Arcy Norman on Mindful Seeing That was a powerful lesson at the beginning of this week at DS106 the digital storytelling course.  The concept of mindful seeing seems to me to be at the heart […]

    by
    Hey folks Have to admit – I’m missing you a lot less! The lake’s really warming up now so me and my bunkies (the naked lunch bunch) have been dipping in  almost every day. Shannon’s given me great feedback this week on all manner of things, and Axroma’s been brilliant inspiration; it’s been great to […]
