Romance Novel
One assignment from the DS106 assignment bank that caught my eye was the Valentine’s Day Caption Challenge. For this assignment, we had to take a postcard from a bank on Flickr and add a caption to “[raise] the love spirit to a new level.” Unfortunately, when I followed the link to find a card to…

7 Photos in a minute
So, My Photoblitz started in my dorm, but eventually took me to places all across the lower side of campus. The first task was to take a picture with my camera at floor level, so I decided to snap a pic of the hallway outside my dorm room. Next, I had to photograph something loud.…

Photo Analysis
This week in DS106, we are required to analyse a few of the photos we have for certain aspects of photography that impact what the image communicates. The first photo I would like to analyse is one that I took at my high school’s library. Though this is not one of my favorite photos that…

My Experience With Photography
Photography is something that I have some formal experience with, but often only use in a very casual way. During my Junior and Senior years at high school, I took photojournalism, so I am familiar with the rule of thirds and how to properly frame a subject. I even had an actual digital camera that…

Week 3

Daily Creates, Week 3
This week saw me completing three assignments for the Daily Create. The first assignment was to create an image that showed the beginning and end of something. I thought a picture of the recycling box in my dorm would be appropriate. I probably would not have even considered using a recycling can for this project…

A quick review of James Gunn’s THE Suicide Squad
In yesterday’s post, I mentioned that James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad was my most anticipated film of the year. Seeing the original Suicide Squad desperately try (and fail) to be Guardians of the Galaxy was an abysmal experience, so seeing that Warner Bros. had actually hired the director of Guardians for the sequel had me…

Brief Recap of James Gunn’s THE Suicide Squad

Friendships are made and romances are had as each member tries to move past their past trauma and find redemption. The goal of…

ABC Story
As Bob could discern, everyone found goodness hidden inside. Jolly kindness let men notice, observe, paint. Quite readily soldiers transfer unfriendly veneer, welcoming xenia, your zeda. This is not so much a story so much as a free verse poem. I thought this assignment would be a grand old time because, my high school improv…

Curious Incident Analysis
As a part of this week’s assignments for DS106, we had to read a few essays and watch some videos on storytelling, particularly through digital mediums. The main thing I took away from these readings was that digital storytelling provides an entirely different set of tools than other mediums. In his essay, I link, therefore…
