I had an interesting experience tackling this activity. It was because I had several objectives that required some abstract thought, I learned to view objects and my surroundings from a different perspective than I normally would have. I used the creative tapestry and pallet of my home as a place to take photos because it …
These days, taking photographs is akin to breathing – not much effort involved and is practically automated. Most certainly when considering the ease of use alongside the mass proliferation of smart phone technology. In contrast to the standard rapid fire photography, those around me would probably say that I am quite rigid when it comes …
The “Sound Effect Story” activity was a valuable on several fronts. One, I have always wanted to learn how to create and edit sounds, visuals, and/or sound tracks. Two, I was able to visualize a sequence that would accent the pictures on my WordPress home page, and then frame it to flow in an intentional …
