For the second Visual Assignment, I chose to create an Acrostic Picture. To start the project I made a list of all of the things I liked that started with all of the letters in my name. I searched on Flickr for all of the pictures and narrowed it down to the pictures I liked […]

This week has provided me with an opportunity to explore some tips and tricks in various areas of photography. It has also educated me on where to find useful, and powerful ideas that I may never have thought of otherwise. I particularly enjoyed the tips and tricks by Mr. David duChemin with regards to perspective […]

This daily create was extremely intriguing to me. I flipped through blue print after blueprint just because it was fun seeing the sketches before the final product. The one that stood out to me the most was the blueprint of a revolver. It was fascinating to see all the inner mechanisms of a 1881 Revolving […]

I chose this assignment because music plays a big part in my life. If I’m not listening to music, then I am producing my own. Album artwork can do wonders for artists, even if no one has ever heard of … Continue reading →

I must have wandered around my house looking for something to complete this assignment with for an hour. I just couldn’t make a connection with anything. Then I was at my desk staring at the scotch tape dispenser and I thought to myself: “That’ll work!” I began twisting and turning it in different directions and placing […]

I remember when I was younger that I was very much into music. My music. I collected albums and would just sit and listen as it brought me to a different world. These days, it seems as though recording artists aren’t too concerned with creating albums anymore. They seem more content with 1 or 2 […]

For todays Daily Create we were to show what road signs would look without borders, you can see the full assignment and other submissions here.   The first thing I saw when I looked at the steep grade road sign was that would make a great ramp. Sometimes it pays …

My Favorite Lyric For this assignment, I chose the song “The World” – by Brad Paisley because when my boyfriend, Chris, and I were in the car during the first weeks we started dating, three and a half years ago, this song came on. He started singing along, and being the person I am, I […]

I thought that this was such a clever idea! I went searching for google for a road sign and then I was going to figure it out as I went. Well I stubbled across this sign that was already made by someone. This image made me very sad. I know that nation’s children’s obesity epidemic […]

I love airplanes and flying; it was something I did all the time growing up when I traveled with softball. So I decided to uncut the airplane road sign into a airplane air show!

Today’s daily create (9/23) is Make an Un-cropped road sign and here’s my photo:  Essentially I took the sheep crossing sign, and incorporated that into a “Counting Sheep” idea. To create this image, I used Google Draw. I then simply... Continue Reading →

So my first assignment I completed this week was the Story Map. This assignment was 4 stars. Only 4 more to go! I thought this assignment was fairly easy! It was time consuming though. Very time consuming. I didn’t mind that it took a few hours to complete. I had so much fun working on […]

Walking around and taking photographs of everyday things around my home was a fun yet different experience. My house is nestled at the end of a Cul-de-sac, but on the edge of the woods. I have plenty of woods to venture into, which I hope to photograph soon. I look at the items in my home everyday […]

  What if this was an everyday occurrence? What would you do?

For this assignment, I decided to do the “Troll Quote” prompt. We were told to take a picture of a famous person, add a quote by a second person, and attribute it to a third, unrelated famous person. I decided… Continue Reading →

So I have to admit- this is not the first time I have done this assignment. In my (freshman?) year of high school this idea was floating around Facebook and a ton of people did it, including myself. I had… Continue Reading →

Daily Create!!! Silverado Bench Seat by Granger Smith

Well before this week had even started, not knowing too much about Flickr, I had already created a set (album) with my softball pictures in it. So I retraced my steps on how I made that one, and created a new one that is called Pictures Worth a Second Look as my set of what […]

I was trying to be clever and pick a song based on that, seeing as how I have a TON of favorites (all country music) but this one id for Leave the Night On by Sam Hunt who I think is going to make it big someday soon I have seen him in concert and […]

This is my all time favorite song by Brantley Gilbert, Kick it in the Sticks. I am a huge country girl, and this is the usual for a Friday/Saturday night for me, nothing but bonfires, family and friends.

  I felt this picture was fitting for today, being that it is the last day of summer (notice the disgust on my face, lol). There is a song by The Cure with the same title. It is not my … Continue reading →

                                                    Eye of the Tiger – Survivor

Today’s daily create is to listen to one of your favorite song and put it in a picture representation. I choose Stay by Sam Smith because this song represent the mood I’m in today. I always listen to this song when I’m feeling a little down.                     […]

I made this image to represent a song by Alkaline Trio called Calling all Skeletons. Hope everybody enjoys Grim also, gotta love that Jamaican Grim Reaper.

Alright so this is my week 4 summary. This week was a very audio based week, so it was not my favorite week, but the assignments were definitely pretty fun. I’ll admit, I did slack off a little bit this... Continue Reading →

Well to start, this week was as difficult as I thought it’d be! Definitely the most challenging week yet, I’d say. However, the outcomes were very rewarding and I’m proud of myself for the things I created and learned. Reflections:… Continue Reading →

This week, we were assigned to listen to ds106 radio and describe our experience. This week I listened to ds106 radio, which you can find here, for about two hours. To be honest, they played very good music. The first... Continue Reading →

So I posted a video for the daily create yesterday, but completely blanked on posting it, so this post is dedicated to today’s daily create and yesterdays. For yesterday’s daily create (9/20) we had to take a video and fast... Continue Reading →

 Audio Storytelling First off, I must say that I enjoyed the videos from Ira Glass and Jad Abumrad. They dropped a ton of knowledge on the art of storytelling through audio. Ira’s “building blocks” technique was spot on, and I … Continue reading →
