As the wind hugs his body and the gravity pulling him poorly resembles the hug he always wanted everything floods back. The first time he realized it was a lie, his first encounter with the girl of his dreams and all the …

Today, I decided to attempt my first Photoshop clipping mask based on this ds106 assignment. Did I know what a clipping mask was when I read the assignment description? Heck no. This called for a Youtube tutorial, stat!
I very quickly found just the right video from Photoshop themselves. What …
Today I tried to pick just a few of Jim Richardson’s photographs which I liked the best. It wasn’t easy to narrow down my choices, but I feel these each exemplify different compositional techniques. Each of these is taken from the Small World Gallery website and is linked in the …
For this ds106 visual assignment, I decided to use Bob Ross’ On A Clear Day, which I also use on the homepage of this site. Here you can see the entire painting however, whereas you only have the skyline on my homepage.
The prompt for this assignment is to …
After reading Stuart Jeffries’ article in The Guardian, I’m left slightly divided. When I was in high school, there was literally no cooler aspiration than becoming a photographer. We didn’t have camera phones yet, decent camera phones yet and I don’t think any of us really expected them to evolve …
This week was a little hectic for me. Not because of this class though. I actually went on a mini vacation to Universal Studios Orlando for my nieces birthday. Even though it was a super fun trip, it was stressful to remember to do my school work while wanting to …
I am taking this weeks assignment bank tasks personal. We are supposed to choose 8 stars worth of assignments in the writing section. I’m taking this as a personal attack ( winking face ;)) because I admitted in last weeks summary that I really dislike writing. Now obviously, I know …
This week we had 3 daily creates to do. I did, a Bob Ross narrated Godzilla painting, tweet something incorrect and. For this weeks daily creates, I actually didn’t have to use any other apps besides Twitter and Google for a picture. Just like last week, I replied my tweets …
Our writing style and the way we communicate today has changed tremendously compared to how we wrote and communicated in the past. Before, we were confined to written or printed media. In this way, writings were typically more formal, excluding letters, and we were not able to receive them very …
This week, I created four new blog posts and connected with people through twitter and discord. First, I watched Kurt Vonnegut’s video and wrote the Shapes of Avatar blog over it. I talked about my favorite show and connected it to his shapes of stories.
Next, I worked on Daily …

In the video Kurt Vonnegut on the Shapes of Stories, Vonnegut talks about the different structures have. I decided to connect these shapes with my favorite show Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is a story about a world made up of four nations. Each nation consists …
This week we focused on the storytelling side of digital media for our main projects, and kept things spicy with some more Daily Creates throughout the week.
Watching Kurt Vonnegut define a story’s shape was both entertaining and enlightening. I doubt I’ve ever thought of a story in graph form …
This time around I did what we were supposed to do and went with whatever the Daily Create was posted for each day that I completed one. From now on, I’ll stick to this process. I definitely see the benefit of viewing what others create in real time, rather than …
Ok. I will preface this post by saying that often when I study or do homework in general, I like to listen to various classical piano playlists on Spotify. There’s a reason that what I wrote has the tone it does and it’s no accident, though I didn’t totally realize …
For today’s ds106 Writing Assignment, I attempted to leave a review of this paint set on Amazon. As I feared, however, reviews don’t go up right away anymore which means that my review of their paint set during a zombie apocalypse is now basically in …

flying comets, or
your existential questions.
Instead let us ask
What we yearn to know.
Is this “haiku” enough yet?
The …

Your house, pre-war.In the game’s first few cutscenes we see that you have a nice home in a nice neighborhood, a spouse you …
What a week! From tips on writing a fluid, engaging blog post (am I doing it yet?) to animated GIFs, video mashups, and exploring some more into how copyright law is both frustrating and a teensy bit incomprehensible.
To start, I read some advice on how to view …
To be honest, I underestimated how long it would take me to do all of these assignments. I’m not much of a writer, and it was hard for me to find the motivation to complete this week’s blogs as well as a bunch of writing assignments for other classes. I …
Recently, I have seen a lot of AI creations on social media. People have been asking AI’s to create paintings and write stories. However, this was the first time I have seen an AI song write. I think this website was intriguing. …
After reading the article Photographer Files $1 Billion Suit Against Getty for Licensing Her Public Domain Image, I learned about the struggles photographers might face relating to their creative property. Once an image is taken, the photographer instantly has copyright ownership of it.
