    Natural Light Portrait.

    by
    After reading about taking portraits with natural light in Scott Kelby’s The Digital Photography Book, Part 5: Photo Recipes, I took this photo of my dad: I set the camera to Portrait mode to take a few, so I could make sure I got a decent shot for reference, but then I set it to […]

    My Travels through Italy

    by
    For this assignment, I did Story Map. For this assignment they wanted me to use Knightlab’s Story Map. However, I wanted to make my own. So I made my own, “story map” of all of my pictures from when I went to Italy spring of 2015. Since we were on the topic this week of “Is photography […]

    Daily Create – Different Planet

    by
    Today #ds106 posted the challenge to post an image of things for different planets. I decided to post a comic of the Earth continuously accepting Pluto but then immediately denying the poor thing right after – Pluto is a planet and you all are heartless for taking him away from us. Heartless.

    A Colorful Lighthouse

    by
    I took on the assignment, Splash the Color, and I think it was a lot of fun! I love messing with color in pictures. In this assignment, you had to have a black and white picture with one object or subject full of color. So, there was a “splash” of color. When I read “splash” I […]

    My “Backyard” Shoot

    by
    As this week I was crunched for time like no other, I couldn’t take my sweet ole time doing these pictures. However I did take some advice into account. I started taking pictures in my backyard. And by “backyard” I mean around campus. And by “around campus” I mean a few from campus and most […]

    Week 3 summary

    by
    So, I totally forgot about last weeks update. I drove to Colorado to meet some family and spread my grandfathers ashes at redstone. I didn’t get much done for the week, just one daily create(https://twitter.com/BigWillyM9001), due to being in Colorado. I’ll drop this weeks update tomorrow, and it’ll be much better.

    What I think

    by
    I did some slight research on Jim Richardson and thought that his work was amazing! First I looked at his National Geographic Photography, which I thought was amazing. I loved all the pictures of the different people, landscapes, and nature. Then I realized something. My friend has a smart TV in her apartment and when it […]

    Altering a Cartoon

    by
    This assignment was worth a star and a half which got me to a total of four and a half. The directions to this assignment were very simple. I had to take an old cartoon character and edit the colors. I decided to use Winnie the Pooh for some odd reason, but I had some […]

    Creating A New Animal

    by
    This assignment was a fun one. It is a visual assignment on the ds106 website. The directions are to mesh some animals together. The first image and body of this animal is a fish. I’m not sure what form of fish though. The other animals I incorporated into this image are a water buffalo, koala, […]

    The “Death” of Photography

    by
    In this post I am going to be reflecting to The Death of Photography by Stuart Jeffries from The Guardian. In many ways I agree with Jeffries. I have many memories of going to events and not really remembering it, however I also have other memories that I highly recorded yet still remember clearly. Maybe it’s how much […]

    Is Photoshop a Big Deal?

    by
    Now days, you probably can’t find a magazine on the shelf that doesn’t have a photoshopped picture in it. It’s human nature to correct our imperfections. Personally, I don’t have a problem with it because I know it’s not real. However, for mothers out there that have their children looking at these pictures and being […]

    Week 3 Summary

    by
    I’m a bit late to the party, but that’s okay, I’m always fashionably late if I’m late. First off, I don’t think it’s necessary to rewrite the bit I wrote about the ds106 assignments did this week, so I will provide a link to that blog post. Link: https://mdseim.wordpress.com/2016/09/13/ds106-assignments/ The assignments were the bulk of … Continue reading Week 3 Summary

    Ds106 Assignments

    by
    A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing The first assignment I did was the “A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing” assignment. My task was to take a logo of a company and redesign it representing the company’s rival. Thus, I chose to do the Jayhawk representing K-State. I chose the Jayhawk because I’m evil and like to create … Continue reading Ds106 Assignments

    Poor Little Camera Dying in the Hospital

    by
    I read an article titled The Death of Photography: Are Camera Phones Destroying an Art Form? It discusses the effect smart phone cameras are having on professional photographers. It is becoming harder and harder to find work as a photographer because in a world where nearly everyone has a mobile camera that takes decent pictures, professional […]

    Week 3 Update

    by
    This week was much busier than the first two. We were told we had to find our own assignments on the ds106 website, but the difficulty level had to add up to eight stars. Those of you who do not know how the website works, each assignment on the website has been graded on difficulty […]

    Patrick

    by
    This assignment was very easy to finish. It wasn’t supposed to be anything special, it’s just putting something from a cartoon onto something in real life. I used Photoshop to adjust the legs of the starfish so they line up with the shorts. This assignment was only worth a star and a half, but it’s […]

    Invitation

    by
    I found this assignment on the ds106 website. It was a three star assignment, and the directions were to make an invitation for a wedding. I tweaked it just a little bit and did a graduation invitation instead because I have been working on my for some time now. I was limited to what I […]

    Daily Create – Message of Hope

    by
    For today’s daily create, #ds106 asked us to publish a message of hope in honor of 9/11. Above is the quote I published. This message is greatly well known through the Pantheist community and is used to show that there is hope for happiness even after our lives are through.

    The Crucible Remix

    by
    This is my response to the Alternative Book Covers assignment. The challenge was to create an alternative cover for a book that changes the entire theme. The Crucible was originally a bout the Salem Witch Trials. A crucible is a piece of lab equipment used to hold hot metals, so I made a cover that […]

    Weekly Summary 03

    by
    In the spirit of this being the 1946 week, the pictures are of my grandfather, Victor Backhus who fought in WWII. I remember he wasn’t shy to tell stories of his time in service and would speak of them often. However, sadly he passed away August 8, 2009. This week has pretty busy for me, […]

    Progressive Thinking

    by
    I am going to be discussing what I thought about the article “As We May Think.” As I “read” this article, it was really hard for me to focus in on it. It was just so long! So as I skimmed it there were some good points in there. Mostly, I would like to talk […]
