When I was a kid I always hated being part of photos. It was such a hassle to have the perfect photo because mom wanted the best one for the christmas card. I was never one to take many photos and I didn’t really think about it because I was always living in the moment […]

Yellow is an attention-getting colour. A photo is dominated by yellow. Make a monochrome photo (monochrome doesn’t have to mean black and white) Make it green: green sleeves, green with envy, green eggs and ham. Make a photograph of a smile, either literal or symbolic. Get closer and fill the frame. Take a picture that… Read More

Santorini, Greece- When I first arrived in Santorini it was about 10 o’clock at night and really dark.  We had a bus that picked us up from the ferry port that would drive us to our villa that we would be staying at for the next 4 days.  I remember being really scared because we […]

I have a lot of things on my bucket list that I plan to do however, these four things are pretty high on my list.  I actually had to sit down and think about all of the things that I wanted to accomplish during my life.  The list went on and on but these were […]

When I saw this assignment I kind of got a little excited.. Ok, I got really excited!  Everyone is always asking me why I carry such a big purse all of the time.  I mean the bags that I carry around are huge and come in handy when I go to the movies so I […]

These are my cute and crazy animals! I have two red eared sliders named Ice and Coco.  I know what you all are thinking.. and yes, I did name my turtles after Ice-T and Coco.  I have had my two turtles for about 5 years now and they mean so much to me!  I received […]

Last night, in a show of great friendship and support, my group of friends decided to join me in a movie night to watch “The Ring”. I was not excited at all to watch this movie and was very  vocal about it, but as soon as my friends brought the popcorn and the comfy blankets … Continue reading “The Ring”

This is Lady Gaga’s debut at the South Dayton Tractor Pull. Both images were found on BING and downloaded. The photo of Lady Gaga was cropped and had the edges rounded and softened. It was copied and pasted on to … Continue reading →

One of the assignment this week was to watch a movie and review it. I though myself no way I am watching The Ring for the second time voluntarily. The first time was under peer pressure (mainly my brother). So I decided to watch The Shining. The synopsis was interesting but at the same time … Continue reading Reflection about The Shining →

In the beginning we see and hear the simplicity of life, the beginning of the Circle of Life, then we celebrate the beauty of life, we experience the creativity and newness of being young, then there is the worst feelings … Continue reading →

For this assignment, I chose to watch the Bride of Frankenstein. First off, this movie is already different than many others on the list, as it is shot solely in black and white as it is an older movie. Even though color is not used during this film, there are still other techniques that allow… Read More

This week I am beginning to feel more comfortable with the work and how to navigate the systems required for the assignments.  This week is entitled “Writing and Raving”; I find the writing to be a little easier than the creating. This week I read some horror, watched a horror film and wrote a review.  I … Continue reading Week Three Summary!

We were given the option to creat a paranormal photo, and come up with our own definition. To me any paranormal is anything unnatural, anything that isn’t necessarily supposed to happen in usual day to day activity. For instance in movies, where people are like dragged across the floor by nothing thats paranormal, or when […]

Spent the evening with my daughter Leah looking at photos from many years ago. This was our dog Lady from 2003 through 2014. What a great opportunity this was for us to laugh and reminisce over found memories. And for … Continue reading →

The Shadow always criticizing. Telling you “you’re not good enough.” If you let it grow enough it may become tangible. No matter who you are, no matter where you are everyone has a shadow. You have to have faith in yourself to get rid of it. Know yourself.

The Shining isn’t as scary as current scary movies, but it is considered a classic. I think that way the shining was shot was not only to film the actors saying words, but to also show the environment that the characters were in and the zoom was really an emotion enhancer. Whenever there was a … Continue reading The Shining

Last winter I had just took a shower, got dressed, and combed through my hair. I quickly tied my hair up into a big bun on top of my head. I walked into the living room and my dad was like … “uhm why do you have a cross on the back of your head?” […]

No person talks more about Kanye then Kanye does and no one believes they are the best like Kanye does.   This quote I found perfectly shows Kanye’s mentality and determination to be the greatest. This was a visual assignment for Ds106 worth 3.5 stars.

The ring was filmed so that it had very little contrast by using a green filter. The movie always feels dreary, even during this seen where the girl’s bedroom should feel warm from the yellow lamp light and cozy like a bedroom. This shot has a very nice symmetry to it. The balance of the … Continue reading Throwing my cinematography hat into “The Ring”

Take pictures of your friends at times where they are not aware that you are photographing them. Once you have a few photos put them into some kind of a collage. Make sure your friends are okay with the photo though before you post it. You don’t want to upset anybody. Have fun with this […]

  When thinking about what I would want to do before death I had to first figure out things that I enjoy. These things included off-roading, mountain biking, scuba diving, and playing games. I really want to go off-roading (specifically in a nice jeep) out in Moab, Utah because everything seems to be so beautiful … Continue reading Aaron the Adventurer’s Bucket List →
