A Typical Day in Jepson: A Photo Safari
This afternoon I recognized I need to stop putting off this Photo Safari and just do it. I chose to wander around Jepson (home, sweet home) and try to create images that interested me. It was definitely challenging and really made me stretch my brain to capture images that fit the descriptors that we were […] -
Married to the Mob.
If you were to approach Vinny D and ask him, “What’s in Your Bag?“, it might be the last questions you ever ask. Or you may get an honest answer. Either way, it should come as no surprise that Vinny keeps things simple. He doesn’t carry a bag; what kind of man would that make... Read more » -
Unsuspecting Friends

Visuals and Storytelling go hand in hand.
I, myself, am not an everyday photographer. I do happen to be married to one though, so I am well versed in the patience and persistence it takes to getting the perfect shot. This can be especially important when trying to portray a certain message or genre, such as Noir. When I am trying to... Read more » -
Photos, Photos..Everywhere!
For this week we had to go on a photo safari and I tried to not only capture the noir elements, but to also make them look dark and noir like.

I used UMW’s color scheme in my Word Cloud. Go Eagles!! -
My Reflection on Photography
I absolutely LOVE photography. I am the annoying friend who always wants to stop for a picture. My friends are just used to it by now. In high school, I took four years of photography and absolutely loved it. Plus I had an incredible teacher, so that definitely made the experience even more enjoyable. I […] -
What’s In Your Bag George?

Cash always a lot of cash because you never know when you’ll need it. Comb in order to keep the hair in … Continue reading What’s In Your Bag George? -

Poetry Art
(3 stars) I found this poem awhile ago on tumblr and it really spoke to me. Emotions for me are hard to explain. I know what I am feeling, but when it comes time to explain it with words my mind goes blank. -
Noir Movie Reflection
I thought the films were interesting, I like watching stories that are from a different time period. The films are shot in black and white and the scenes are often in gloomy places. They capture the feelings of noir by including murder in the plot, making the settings in remote or small town places, the … Continue reading Noir Movie Reflection -

An album cover
I think this random album creation worked perfect for me. The picture and the title, but the singer name is a little weird. To make the picture look pretty I added the sparkly stars and it just goes with the overall album title. To make the over all picture look nice I changed the font color and … Continue reading An album cover → -

My photos are … Continue reading Photogra-me! -
