I embedded a Flickr set into this post. The story I was trying to tell is about nature. I chose the cloud picture, a sunflower, an ocean picture, and jellyfish. I wanted to tell a picture about how nature works.  Another reason why I chose each of these pictures is because they were all taken at special places. Each picture… Read more →

This daily create we had to draw our Professor Jen Polack. I drew her grading papers out side by the pool. Who doesn’t want to be pool side? I don’t really know that much about her but she does have bunch of pool photos posted. It is so much different of a relationship since it […]

Although I am a terrible drawer, here it is Professor Polack. She is in her back yard by the pool filming her weekly post. Notice she is standing because if you go into her office you will notice that she is always standing at her computer verses sitting. I think it’s good for your back […]

Drawing Jim Groom:

I apologize for my very very poor artistic skills, but this is what I think Professor Polack looks like!

Queen has been an a group I have listened to since I was young. They were my mothers favorite so I grew up listening to them, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, the list goes on and on. Freddie Mercury is partially remembered for his outrageous outfits. He gave not a care in the world to what others […]

I choose my tea mug as my every day object. I will drink a cup of hot tea at least once a day, sometimes more. My mug is always either on my desk, my shelf, dresser, anywhere I am my mug follows. I decided to edit it in a way that would make the wood […]

What is on my Radio? When I am driving, there are a few radio stations I listen too, but my favorite station is without a doubt 99.3 The Vibe. When I turned to 99.3, the song that was playing was Feel So Close by Calvin Harris. 99.3 plays a lot of new great hits, this song is […]

Our assignment, Apophenia, was to take a picture of something in your house, and make augmented pictures of it. This was a very VERY difficult task. It had to take me at least an hour to think of something to use as... Continue Reading →

My radio: How he loves, Oh how he loves us, a simple, but powerful reminder of how loved we are through every mistake, and regret. That we are loved where we are, as we are. We are his! You are individually beautiful and perfect as you are. Oh how he loves us. My sound cloud […]

Blue Print of a basketball hoop: I chose this blue print, because basketball is my favorite sport and to see the details that go into creating a hoop is really interesting to me.

For my next visual project I wanted to experiement with StoryMap, a website that I had never used before. Overall, I found the whole experience really awesome actually; it was super easy to use, and I’ll have to remember it for future projects.  Assignment : Read more →

So I must say… this assignment is pretty cool. It was really neat finding common themes in each random choice. This was the first time I had done something like this but I remember back in high school people would take pictures and make them album covers. They would then put them as their profile picture on MySpace and I… Read more →

           For the Apophenia assignment I thought of using something, well, unusual? This may be weird, nasty, and not normal, but I had been talking with my family about what I had to do for this assignment, and my grandmother had the idea of using her dentures. Well we all laughed for a good ten minutes, […]

All of the photos in this assignment were taken at my residence. I was already home, working on other things and had my camera handy. It was a nice day out, (last day of summer) so I decided to mix … Continue reading →

This morning, and every morning for that matter, I always have my radio on 98.7 WMZQ and listen to the Bobby Bones Show. It is such an amazing radio show and if you haven’t heard of it, you should look into it!

This station is known to play a lot of popular, mainstream songs, which sometimes they play […]

I am from Massachusetts so on my way to work I would typically listen to Boston’s alternative radio station 92.9. Today when I tuned in they happened to be playing a song that I enjoy by the Foo Fighters- My Hero. Hope everyone enjoys!

I did this assignment a bit different. I typed 106 fm in to google search and came up with a station called Power 106. This is a hip hop station in Los Angeles, CA. The song that was playing was Studio by SchoolBoy Q. I had never heard the song but it was quite catchy. […]

For my first  visual assignment i choose to do color splash At first I was thinking of taking a picture of all the colorful materials in my room and then making a collage and splashing it with colors. However I figure none of them were looking quite as symbolic as i would like them to look. […]

I chose to do the PhotoBlitz Challenge in the garage. Now you may ask why? Well, at the time my boyfriend’s friends were over as well as one of my friends and I thought it would be interesting to see their reactions to all the pictures I chose to take. Also, in the garage there […]

This was interesting assignment. Blinds are meant to keep light out of a room. Here I was trying to capture the light coming into my room though the blinds. I had to crack one of the blinds slightly because the light wasn’t showing up on my camera. So what is the source of the light? […]
