The poem is “Stopping by Woods on a Snowing Evening” by Robert Frost. The poem speaks of a farmhouse in … Continue reading Poetry Art

    Can’t Buy A Cheap Purse in This Chinatown

    by
    Chinatown was a fantastic movie. I actually chose to watch this one because on Switched at Birth on Monday, Bay and Emmett went and saw it and were talking about Film Noir and I was like….. this is a sign that Chinatown is for me! I went into it without any real expectations, but I’m […]

    Noir: Kubrick and Polanski

    by
    In this post I will detail my reaction to the films Killer’s Kiss  and Chinatown, particularly in regards to their noir style cinematography. Killer’s Kiss (1955) I was excited to find out that this was a Stanley Kubrick work before viewing the film. Kubrick is known for his perfectionist style of filmmaking, and I have great […]

    #Selfie Nation

    by
    The art of photography today is definitely different than it has been in  the past. I know I am guilty of this, but selfies have become somewhat of an obsession with our generation. I am all for selfies, and for people taking pictures of themselves because they feel good about how they look. I think […]

    Layla Arkwood’s Word Cloud

    by

      All these words have meaning to my noir character, Layla. Most of these go through her mind throughout the day, sometimes plaguing her until she does something about it. The color scheme represents her favorite color, red, and the font symbolizes her elegance and sophistication that normally follows her around. As such, this word bubble gives insight into the… Read more →

    Visuals of Storytelling

    by
    I must admit I do not have a ton of experience with photography, but I have always loved taking a lot of pictures. I definitely like taking pictures more now that I am older. My favorite time to take pictures is when I go on vacations. I believe if you take a picture it will […]

    Weekly Summary #3

    by
    This week was a good week. I’m starting to see a recurrence in theme towards Noir in regards to the films and readings. When it comes to romance there seems be a love triangle which follows along with jealousy and drama. If there’s a murder in the movie it’s nearly obvious that there will be […]

    Photo Safari

    by
      It was  a very cold day of photography, so cold in fact that none of my friends enjoyed shaking my hands afterwards. Or were they friends? Just kidding, but nonetheless the weather did not stop me from a fun little adventure. I felt that this picture would satisfy the distinct shadow requirement as the … Continue reading Photo Safari

    Noir is Pretty Dark

    by

    The two noir films, Killer’s Kiss and He Walked By Night are two examples of noir films. Noir uses a distinctive lighting style that creates a specific atmosphere. This atmosphere is mostly one of suspicion or suspense, bringing attention to a specific person or event in the film. For example, in Killer’s Kiss this type of lighting is used for a character’s first… Read more →

    How I take pictures

    by
    I find that I do take a decent amount of photos. Most of my photos are of my cats or dogs because I always find that the pictures that I don’t take are the ones that I want to show people. I also love to take pictures of trips that I take. I have gone […]

    Sasha’s Reminders

    by
    Writing post-it notes and grocery lists is something I do all the time, so completing the “post-it notes and grocery lists!” assignment (2 pts) is pretty natural (I just had to make notes that my character would make). Sasha Kellogg definitely would make post-it notes for herself. She is very...
