This is my version of a paranormal picture. If you look close enough, you can see the double chain locks on the doors and the wearing of the frame from where this creature got inside.  

The movie the ring does a lot of contrasting with lights. Often the scenes have a black versus white/light appeal. The perspective of the movie is looking in on a bunch of different people who all watched this film and were told “seven days” foreshadowing they would die in seven days. For the lighting, the movie almost […]

      At risk of sounding like a bad commercial, I chose to use this bottle cap because I’ve recently embraced being 21 and found this cap to be interesting. I suppose I just like the way to logo fits perfectly onto the face of it? I guess that’s one way to put it. … Continue reading Larger Than Life →

Sometimes at night…when I’m really tired…and can’t sleep…my feelings change…and…my face changes. I can’t really explain it, but I just become abnormally happy. All the stress of the day seems to disappear. The only problem is…all I remember of the night…is that calm feeling…but sometimes…I wake up in the morning…and there’s blood in my bed…and … Continue reading Sometimes at Night…

Reflect on cinematography   After reading Becoming Better Photographers allowed me to understand more about photography and was amazed at how difficult it is to film a movie. They have the Selection: unique views and images to present the scenes to audiences. After watching The Ring, I applied the knowledge that I just learned to […]

This week went by pretty quickly! I’m SO glad it’s almost over. It was the week of broken things for me. First, on Sunday morning my glasses broke. Then as the week went on my hello kitty rice cooker and...

1st: 2nd:

I do not take that many pictures often and when I do it’s either of my kittens, niece, or boyfriend. And they’re not very scenic pictures, it’s just in the moment pictures with little or no effort. I don’t try to capture any kind of feeling or focus on anything particular so I guess I […]

We’ve come to the end of yet another week. Time is flying by, but this week (week 4) wasn’t too bad; I feel like this class gets easier and easier, maybe just because I’m getting the hang of it now. As usual we have our usual responses I’ll tag below in case you missed them. […]

Cinematography – simply put the art of movie making. This week we have been focusing on visuals such as photos, still shots, and movies. We were asked to analyze one of three motion pictures, I choose the “Bride of Frankenstien.” As stated before it is alot easier to impose certain emotions or feelings upon someone […]

They say they exist, but no one has ever seen them.. They are said to live within your camera; watching, waiting to emerge and attack at just the precise moment.. Their eyes are like lenses – no one likes looking... Continue Reading →

Well what’s more fun than making a collage based on a series of events in my life? I figured that the easiest story to follow would be this one, heading off to college! In the first photo, you see my...

As a high school student I took two different photography classes and I’ve always been interested in photography as a kind of hobby. My senior year of high school our building was very old and we still had a dark room in the art department. That set off my enjoyment for film and dark room … Continue reading Visuals of Storytelling

This assignment is totally up my alley! I’m super snoopy, I love to see what other people have in this bags! Technically this is just a what’s in my bag, but honestly mine would have just been too boring. Instead,...

            This here is my bucket list collage! I’ve always wanted to skydive, despite my immense fear of heights. I’ve also wanted to climb a mountain (I have before, but I want to climb a larger one). Then, once I’ve conquered my fear of heights and mountain lions, I’d like … Continue reading Super Duper Collage →

This week, we were tasked with completing what is otherwise known as a photoblitz! This is a cool concept, where you are given a list of photos to take that agree with the “prompt”. Each computer (? I guess?) is... Continue Reading →

For this week’s viewing assignment, I chose to watch The Ring. I’m not going to lie, I felt like a baby watching it. It was way scarier than I had expected! But there were definitely elements to this film that...

Hello! It’s time for another Weekly Summary! *cues music* (^I really love this rendition of Symptoms by Shinee^) I did 3 Daily Creates this week: (1, 2, 3) The Photoblitz challenge was kind of fun although I think the hardest part of it was trying to make a collage out of it using free software. … Continue reading Weekly Summary 9/18/15

After brushing up on the photography skills this week, I’ve realized that I know a lot more about taking great photos than I thought I did. I took a photography class in high school, and we covered everything from framing... Continue Reading →

(No audio today due to video) So today for my Daily Create (9/18/15) I had to make a puppet! My housemate actually worked on the puppets that will be used in the Mary Washington production of Avenue Q and they look really legit. You can tell that she had no part in the making of my … Continue reading ^^Puppeting Time w HeadReaper^^

When thinking of what to do for this assignment, my first thought was to place myself onto an image of MLK, Jr. Why? When I was little, I was often said to look a lot like him (I never saw the resemblance…). This isn’t my best work, but I think it turned out fairly decent. … Continue reading The Forrest Gump Project →

I would not call myself a photographer, I am more like a tourist when I have a camera. I am either taking pictures to help me remember the places that I have been to or I am taking selfies with my friends and family to remember the experiences that we shared together. I never think … Continue reading Visual Storytelling

My edition of “Make that money!”, an assignment worth 3 1/2 stars.

Using my time this week, I’ve reflected on how little I’ve actually dabbled into photography. Aside from participating in this week’s assignments, I rarely ever take photos on my own. I’ve taken the occasional selfie and I’ll gladly hop into a photo with a friend, but I can scarcely admit that I’m the mastermind behind … Continue reading Visual Storytelling →

Every picture tells a story and this week has been no exception. We start at the Mountain Retreat. Searching for that special place, I came across this incredible mountain-top getaway. The image was copied and pasted into PowerPoint where I … Continue reading →

Bob and Ora were hand drawn. Bob was edited on a smartphone and Ora was simply drawn. Both were uploaded and posted.

So I watched The Ring and it was quite sufficiently terrifying and still very enjoyable. *********SPOILER DISCLAIMER******** This post will contain spoilers for the movie The Ring ***************SCARY IMAGERY DISCLAIMER*************** Some of these pictures are really quite scary. Thou hast been warned. As far as aesthetics go, I thought that all of the imagery used … Continue reading ~@ The Circular Accessory That You Wear On Your Finger @~

The analysis of this image is of the background/foreground. There is movement in the background and the still image with table and chairs in foreground. It also is a good representation of depth. Perspective. The small man in the jar … Continue reading →
