Steven and Erin thought that this was going to be just another Friday night in New York City. It was their five year anniversary so Steven thought that this would be a great time to take Erin to the best restaurant in town. Once he told her about the dinner reservation she completely lost her mind, it … Continue reading Love At First Shot

The movie I watched last week was kingsman: The Secret Service. As in most Secret service movies the main application of photography is used by the main agent to gather evidence of some sort. The photograph tells the intelligence base in communication either of the confirmed location of a target or just simply a tool to gather evidence or basic information that … Continue reading Photography and The Secret Agent

It’s another late night in the newspaper office and I begin my trek home on my bike, as I do most weeks. I’ve become familiar with the shadow coming off my bike to symbolize the end of a long day and a big sigh of relief later, I unlock my bike and ride through the …

Archives This week, we had to complete 3 Daily Creates. These were more fun for me because I liked the prompts more than I have some of the others. The first one was to post something that happened in 1856. Not super exciting but I did learn from it. Who knew so many different things happened that year! @ds106dc #tdc1856 Traité de Paris (1856) pic.twitter.com/4mjswkBBV4 — Krystal Heflin (@k_heflin) February 6, 2017 The second one I did was to make the internet beautiful again. To me, this could be interpreted in a LOT of different ways. I chose to post […]

When I first thought about this task I really wasn’t sure what I was going to write. Photography in general isn’t something I have given much attention to over the years. I always appreciated the work done by others and continue to hold the mindset that pictures can tell more of a story than an article can. … Continue reading Photo Reflection

My prompt for the photoblitzer challenge, I thought was perfect for today’s weather. My challenge was all about the weather!  The first was to take a picture that represented wildernessThat was the closest thing that in my opinion, represented wilderness Next was a crowd scene  I didn’t really like this one cause I wasn’t in a crowded … Continue reading "Photoblitzer"

This is one of the pictures I found when I typed, “cute couple” on Google. Besides the fact that they are cute indeed, they look like the people who are kind and understanding. Here is the story I made up: Guy: Hey Melissa, I really like you very much! Can you be my girlfriend? Girl: Of course, Ben. But on …

I do not actually take many pictures in terms of going out and trying to look for something to take pictures of or using a nice camera. Instead I tend to take pictures on my phone, usually for my own enjoyment. Usually just for my purposes too, because I enjoy looking at something or I […]

While flipping through the visual assignments I came across the Architecture/Landscape Then and Now assignment. I though it sounded pretty cool then I saw no one had ever really done it, so I decided I needed to fix that because the assignment is a cool one. At first I thought about going a little too […]

I decided to do select photos of secret agents to try to find some specific examples of some of the points mentions in the two articles. Here is a photo of a secret agent under cover. This photo uses contrast to show the difference between the black and white and provide a full range of …

I took on the One Shot assignment that is worth 3 stars. I decided to use this assignment along with my character. The idea of the one shot was to take one image and split it into a comic style to convey something. I decided to tweak that a little, when I was playing around […]

This is a photo of my roommate and I in our driveway. This photo was taken at about 4:15 pm. We had to wait till later in the day to take the photo because earlier it was more of an overcast that left shadows nowhere to be found. Whats funny is that this shadow make …

The only really experience I have with photography is when I take photos on my phone. I like to take pictures of me and my friends, my boyfriend and I, and some of the cool scenery of the places I’ve been. I do think that I take a lot of photos. I like to create …

For the assignment bank visual assignments, I decided to do Family Friendly Billboards. I decided to try and relate it to the agent I created by making the billboard about them. Fun fact about my agent, she is an actual human being who I work with (and got permission to use her face/characteristics) as my agent. So my … Continue reading "We Lost our Agent"

Archives For this assignment, I had to create a collage to show off the love I have for my pet. Because this involves my baby girl Athena (aka Agent A), I jumped at the opportunity. Goodness knows I had more than enough pictures to choose from! To put the collage together, I chose from pictures I had stored on my phone and used the iPhone app, Pic Stitch. It was harder than I thought to choose my favorites to use since I have so many! I managed to narrow it down to 5 in the end and the collage came […]

I had a lot of fun with this activity. The instructions were to complete as many of the 7 activities as possible. I was able to complete 6 out of the 7 in 20 minutes! Looking for specific things to take pictures of definitely helped me get more creative and take better quality pictures than ... Read more

I chose to do the Who Said What assignment because I honestly felt like it was the funniest one, and I would really enjoy it. It was rated 2 1/2 stars and I feel like that’s an accurate rating. I first picked my quote because I felt like I could base my next character off … Continue reading "James Bond has Immunity"

Today…I met with my cohorts. Austin Powers, Mr. Bond, and James Borne…the elite of the elite! I have a quote to…uh…share with you. May it help our secret agent brothers in their missions across the…world.. Gah! I’m spending too much time on this! Just read the quote and leave me be to my missions!  Agent […]

After reading through this assignment I must admit that I got a little excited, because spy kids is one of my favorite movies and the excuse to watch it again for another blog post was way too good to pass up. I wanted to make sure that I took my time with the movie and …

The cowboy had ridden for miles, and his lover couldnt tell if it was him or his horse who looked more worn out. He had heard from a neighbor that she had ran away from home to find him, and he knew this was his last chance to be with his love again. He found …
