I just took the photoblitz challenge. The Challenge: Take a photo of (or something that represents) the moon. Someone else’s artwork in an interesting way to make it yours. Features a repeating pattern. Make a photo that represents the end, termination… Make a photograph of a plastic object. Take a photo depicting the weather. Your […]

This photo explains it all. I, Emily Toney, am guilty of making too many faces. Some good and others really bad….But! there will never be a dull moment around me, because of my faces…haha (very old photo; I am no longer blonde)

This photo alone is scary enough, but adding the 106 makes it 10X worse!

So I’ve seen Dances With Wolves before and decided why not watch it again for this assignment. As I was watching and looking for different cinematic aspects, I noticed a few things. The beginning half or so of the movie does not have a ton of dialogue or anything which I think adds a lot … Continue reading "I Danced With the Wolves and it Was Pretty Cool"

So, this was fun to make. Meet mi familia. Friends that became family. From the top left and around clockwise ~Me (dates Jordan) ~Kelly (dates Mike) ~Emma (dates Declan) ~Rae (dates Nick) ~Nick ~Declan ~Mike ~Jordan   I picked these people becaus...

This is Jordan and Emily. They met in high school and have been together for 7 years now. Obviously they are in love. Look at the way he looks at her and the way she is smiling. Throughout the past 7 years there have been ups and downs, but they both know what they have […]

Everyone, this is my pride and joy, Louie. He is full of a lot of things, but I took a picture of the most important items. ~Keys: Need to be able to drive my car ~Wallet: Have to have money to shop! ~Water: Stay hydrated ~Snack (in this case muffins) : I am always hungry […]

I chose to do the assignment ‘that’s not what i expected.’ It tells us to take a close up picture of something and see if people can guess what it is. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/thats-not-what-i-expected/ My picture above is not just of the letter W. The canvas on which W rests is the real medium. I used my […]

The directive was to pour out one’s character’s bag and write a description of each item carried around in it. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/whats-in-your-bag/ Here’s the items in my character’s bag: There’s a lasso. My character carries it around just in case he needs some rope. He never knows when he needs it. I can be employed during […]

The assignment was to compose a brady bunch like picture. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/were-the-real-life-brady-bunch/ Here’s my version.  The squares on the periphery are of all close friends with myself in the middle. From left to right descending from row to row their names are Mike, Sami, Elizabeth, Alieh, myself, Akeem, water, Mike (with Chad and Emerson), and my […]

I attempted to complete the visual assignment “can you see what i see.” http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/can-you-see-what-i-see/ I’ve never cropped two photos together. So I figured how hard can it be? It was fairly challenging. I couldn’t really figure out how to change the opacity of the cyclist. That was the hardest part of this assignment. I poured […]

Well this is it for week four! This week was all about visuals which I had some fun with! We were required to do 3 daily creates, 2 visual assignments given to us, the option of one or another visual assignment, again given to us, six stars worth of visual assignments – one using our … Continue reading Weekly Summary 1/29 – 2/5

This 2.5 star assignment required one to take a picture and then focus only on one color. The color I chose was red simply because it is on of my favorite colors and it’s abundant in my apartment! I used LunaPic to help me achieve this image!

For this 3.5 star assignment I was required to use 4 lines, 5 dots and one curve and make something out of that. I decided it was going to be using my character Sally and her ability to pour a mean shot and this is what I got!

For this assignment we were to recreate a scene from a movie. I picked The Shining because some of the best memes on the internet are made from those movie scenes. Clearly I couldn’t have an axe going through the wall, nor did I have a knife that big but this is my recreation!

For this assignment we were to find a picture of a couple in love and create a back story to it. I just googled a picture for this and the one above was the one I liked the most. Here goes my extremely made up story about them! It was August 10th, 9:34 a.m., Josie … Continue reading A picture’s worth a thousand words

Hey y’all it’s Sally! I saw that one of the assignments this week was to show what’s in your bag so I thought I would show my trinkets and handy things I carry around with me! First things first, I’m a bartender so I obviously have a shot glass in my satchel. Ain’t no way … Continue reading What’s in Sally’s satchel?

Visual Assignment:Love at First Shot Assignment description: “Take/Find a picture of a couple who are obviously in love. Use the picture to tell a story. Give the story some background and maybe even create a dialogue between the two or tell the story from each point of view. Just give it some detail and create […]

  This assignment overall was fairly easy, the hardest part for me was trying to get my friends to actually do it! Hence the name, The Lazy Bunch. I took individual videos of each person and then used an app that makes pic stitches for videos and just inserted them where they were supposed to … Continue reading The Lazy Bunch

This week we delved into visual assignments and photography. I found this week’s work to be very interesting, informative, and at times challenging. The first task I completed for this week was to review the resources provided. I wrote about my findings in my blog post below. Photoreflection: Response to photography resources I also viewed … Continue reading Week 4 Summary 1/29-2/5/2016

I found this assignment to be fun but surprisingly a little challenging. I clicked on the Photoblitz button to see what it was like, but did not complete it at that moment. The next morning I came back to it and it was the same one and timer was still going. I tried to close … Continue reading Photoblitz!

I found this task very interesting. First off, prior to this assignment I did not really think about the idea of cinematography. I know there is photography (pictures) and cinema (movies) but, I never thought about the pictures within the movies. But, by watching Stagecoach it has opened my eyes to how important pictures are … Continue reading Cinematography

What a lovely couple they are! Abu and Amy are soon to be married. Abu grew up on in the United States. He was a stage monkey who most notably appeared in the hit film Aladin. After appearing in several other films, this monkey made an appearance as an extra in the Planet of the […]

For this assignment I watched The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance which was on Netflix. We were then given a list of terms to find and see whether they were in the movie or not. The terms were: •   selection •   contrast •   perspective •   depth •   balance •   moment •   lighting •   foreground/background I … Continue reading Vocabulary and Cinematography

I’m not one to whip out my camera to capture a moment. On the rare occasion that I do do that, it’s because it is something I wish to share with a friend or family member. Due to this realization, I’m finding it difficult to answer the questions asked for this particular blog post assignment. … Continue reading "Visuals of Storytelling"

Janie P. Index and Johnnie D. Middle are madly in love They are constantly by each others side and are often brought together with hope and luck The only thing that could ever separate them Would be an unfortunate accident!

Can you guess what this is? Hint, I’ve been hanging out in the convergence center all day.

I was thinking today, and it occurred to me – I’ve never really given one thought to photography. I’ve taken photos only with my phone. Thoughtless photos. Photos that have been taken with just a flick of the wrist and no consideration to the content. Lighting, angle, frame, etc have never really crossed my mind. […]

My second assignment this week is called Splash the Color. This assignment is to remove all the color from a
