Reaction paper #1 Library and research through the library

So a couple of Monday's ago on 10/16 our class had a trip to the college library. On this trip we were blessed to have a guide from the school teach us a thing or two or three about how to successfully research from the school library's data base and how to look up books both in the library itself and through the library's data base as well. I also learned how to use google's advance search, which i feel will definitely come in handy later on in the semester. Our guide taught us how to properly cite a website and/or book. This is important because we must show where we have gotten our information from otherwise it is considered a form of plagiarism. We were then escorted through the library where we were allowed to pick out a photography book or a few photography books to check out of the library. I usually just look up information that i'd like to learn online but i learned however that i enjoy holding and reading a physical book much better. There's nothing like real books, maybe it's the smell or just being able to read it without feeling like your eyes are bleeding after an hour like if feels when you're staring at a computer screen for an hour. In any case i'm really glad that we got to go because there is always room to learn new things especially in this constantly changing world of technology.

Thought that this would be fun to play around with so I just ordered myself one in white. Then I thought that perhaps there are others out there who would enjoy it just as much as I know I'm going to. I love to try out new tech, especially when it involve photography.

Personal projects are the best sometimes they're just good for one's soul.

This is a project that I've been working on in my own time. I'm in love with the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas" It's been my favorite movie since I was 2. I got this Lego Jack as a gift from a friend and ever since then I've had it in my bag. Everywhere I go I see opportunities. I take those opportunities by taking my Lego Jack and taking photographs of him in different places (different spaces). I'll prop him up against a laptop or decal. I'll put him under candle light or stick him in a hole of a bench and snap away. I'm sure I'll post more pictures as the year goes on but I just had to share this project because it brings me a lot of joy and it's something to smile at I suppose. 

 

Yellowjacket attacking a green worm

Was going to go for a drive today but when I got into my car i noticed that these two little guys were fighting to the death on my windshield and I got a few nice photographs but this one was my favorite. Hence why I'm sharing it with all of you. you never know what life will throw at you; a sunny day, a shoe or a yellowjacket attacking a worm on your windshield.
