They say they exist, but no one has ever seen them.. They are said to live within your camera; watching, waiting to emerge and attack at just the precise moment.. Their eyes are like lenses – no one likes looking... Continue Reading →

Well what’s more fun than making a collage based on a series of events in my life? I figured that the easiest story to follow would be this one, heading off to college! In the first photo, you see my...

As a high school student I took two different photography classes and I’ve always been interested in photography as a kind of hobby. My senior year of high school our building was very old and we still had a dark room in the art department. That set off my enjoyment for film and dark room … Continue reading Visuals of Storytelling

This assignment is totally up my alley! I’m super snoopy, I love to see what other people have in this bags! Technically this is just a what’s in my bag, but honestly mine would have just been too boring. Instead,...

            This here is my bucket list collage! I’ve always wanted to skydive, despite my immense fear of heights. I’ve also wanted to climb a mountain (I have before, but I want to climb a larger one). Then, once I’ve conquered my fear of heights and mountain lions, I’d like … Continue reading Super Duper Collage →

This week, we were tasked with completing what is otherwise known as a photoblitz! This is a cool concept, where you are given a list of photos to take that agree with the “prompt”. Each computer (? I guess?) is... Continue Reading →

For this week’s viewing assignment, I chose to watch The Ring. I’m not going to lie, I felt like a baby watching it. It was way scarier than I had expected! But there were definitely elements to this film that...

Hello! It’s time for another Weekly Summary! *cues music* (^I really love this rendition of Symptoms by Shinee^) I did 3 Daily Creates this week: (1, 2, 3) The Photoblitz challenge was kind of fun although I think the hardest part of it was trying to make a collage out of it using free software. … Continue reading Weekly Summary 9/18/15

After brushing up on the photography skills this week, I’ve realized that I know a lot more about taking great photos than I thought I did. I took a photography class in high school, and we covered everything from framing... Continue Reading →

(No audio today due to video) So today for my Daily Create (9/18/15) I had to make a puppet! My housemate actually worked on the puppets that will be used in the Mary Washington production of Avenue Q and they look really legit. You can tell that she had no part in the making of my … Continue reading ^^Puppeting Time w HeadReaper^^

When thinking of what to do for this assignment, my first thought was to place myself onto an image of MLK, Jr. Why? When I was little, I was often said to look a lot like him (I never saw the resemblance…). This isn’t my best work, but I think it turned out fairly decent. … Continue reading The Forrest Gump Project →

I would not call myself a photographer, I am more like a tourist when I have a camera. I am either taking pictures to help me remember the places that I have been to or I am taking selfies with my friends and family to remember the experiences that we shared together. I never think … Continue reading Visual Storytelling

My edition of “Make that money!”, an assignment worth 3 1/2 stars.

Using my time this week, I’ve reflected on how little I’ve actually dabbled into photography. Aside from participating in this week’s assignments, I rarely ever take photos on my own. I’ve taken the occasional selfie and I’ll gladly hop into a photo with a friend, but I can scarcely admit that I’m the mastermind behind … Continue reading Visual Storytelling →

Every picture tells a story and this week has been no exception. We start at the Mountain Retreat. Searching for that special place, I came across this incredible mountain-top getaway. The image was copied and pasted into PowerPoint where I … Continue reading →

Bob and Ora were hand drawn. Bob was edited on a smartphone and Ora was simply drawn. Both were uploaded and posted.

So I watched The Ring and it was quite sufficiently terrifying and still very enjoyable. *********SPOILER DISCLAIMER******** This post will contain spoilers for the movie The Ring ***************SCARY IMAGERY DISCLAIMER*************** Some of these pictures are really quite scary. Thou hast been warned. As far as aesthetics go, I thought that all of the imagery used … Continue reading ~@ The Circular Accessory That You Wear On Your Finger @~

The analysis of this image is of the background/foreground. There is movement in the background and the still image with table and chairs in foreground. It also is a good representation of depth. Perspective. The small man in the jar … Continue reading →

Well, I will admit it. I ran out of time plain and simple. One part underestimating how easy it would be to procure a camera and two (or three) parts procrastination. Still, the week wasn’t a full waste. I obtained a good amount of knowledge if not a large amount of experience. I enjoyed analyzing […]

Paranormal…hmmmmm. Dark and scary? unnatural? It is a very broad topic, so I settled with dark. Being extremely low tech, I eventually realized I could add some darkness to a photo by putting a tuft of hair (i.e. from a comb or brush) up against the lens. I wanted to see what it would look […]

This was a particularly difficult assignment for me, largely due to the circumstances. As mentioned earlier, I have very little photography experience, and no portable photography device. To compound difficulties, my work+school keeps me busy during the day, so I had to complete the challenge at night with a borrowed smartphone. This limited somewhat my […]

(^The End by Grizzly Beatz^) To start with, I’m an awful photographer. I have shaky hands, I always seem to unintentionally crop things out and its usually blurry. There is a scratch on the camera lens of my phone so I usually get a friend to take the picture for me and then email it … Continue reading – How to Photo More Better :D –

This week was very entertaining for me in regards to the assignments.  I must say I did enjoy completing them, particularly watching the Shining; I have not watched that movie since I was a little girl and it scared the mess out of me then. Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors, it’s funny … Continue reading Weekly Summary

The Bride of Frankenstein has several good examples of lighting throughout. The bride of Frankenstein does a fairly good job at deliberately utilizing depth, light, and the lack thereof for keeping the scenes engaging. To complement the deliberate choices, the relatively poor quality of the black and white cinematography contributes to the eerie connotations of […]

I have theoretical knowledge of a lot of random things in life. Photography however, is not one of them. I can explain how light interacts with the chemicals on camera film, but not what specific ordering makes the image appealing to the average viewer. I do not take photos. I do not own any handheld […]

So today I went into my laundry room and there was a ghost! If you don’t beleive me check out this photo I took! Pretty paranormal if you ask me. Its not like I put a tissue with sharpie on it over my Haruhi Suzumiya figurine and put it behind a drying shirt with long … Continue reading Ghost in my Laundry Room??!
