Chadron: Black & White vs. Color

Chadron, Nebraska small town USA, many people don't know about this wonderful little town in the North west corner of Nebraska and all it's beauty. From main street and it's authenticity to the rolling hills that cascade around the town. For me personally I am new here and already so amazed by the simplistic beauty of this town. Because of this the other day I decided to take a walk after class and here are some the cool pics I got. The results speak for themselves, please sit back and enjoy Chadron, Nebraska.

Buckeye Tunes-Translated reflection (updated)

When preparing for this assignment, you have to consider the deeper questions of emoji like “How do they work?” and “How can you translate from English to emoji and have people understand it?”. First let’s look how they work, Emoji or Emoticons are small pictures that show various emotions, actions, and even places. The trick to communicating with them, is to use actions like pointing which can signify “this” or “that”, then using places like mountain pics or field pics as a direct translation. The whole point is to keep it simple for a crowd, because they may see the much more complex interpretations that you use and flip them 180 degrees and see them as the exact opposite. It’s kind of like communicating with someone who speaks a whole different language, that you, your gonna point at objects and use whole lot of hand gestures, as will they, and hope they get at least the jist of what your saying. Because of what I just explained, it makes me think people use them because they allow...

Christmas in November? (analytical edit)

Christmas is right around the corner, it’s a time for breathtaking decorations, ugly sweaters, Cyber Monday deals and of course Black Friday. Wait let me back that up, I guess is more apart of Thanksgiving, no seriously stores are at the point where there open up for Black Friday right after you get done stuffing yourself to the brim with Thanksgiving foods. But be sure fit Thanksgiving in just after you make sure blanket your house in lights. Don’t get me wrong, I love the lights and the cheer, but when you put them up on Thanksgiving it just doesn’t feel like a Thanksgiving. It feels to me like Thanksgiving was originally a nudge on the arm saying “hey don’t forget to be thankful for Christmas..”, and maybe we overshadow that, maybe we take that for granted. If anything, turn off your Christmas music off, kill the lights and move your shopping plans over, and enjoy a meal worth giving thanks for, and Christmas will be waiting for you the next day. While many may feel that Chr...

The creative process of "Chadron: Black & White vs. Color" (updated and edited)

A photo essay is such a tough idea to grasp, because the story or theme comes from the photos and developing that theme is hard without the words to guide it. I just kept looking at them and Loved the one on Detroit ruins. Mostly because it captured the city and the beauty in the chaos, and because I have been looking for a way to get to know Chadron better. So I knew I needed to find a way to do so, for me I just need sometimes to get something out there and start looking at it and taking things from it to evolve my ideas. Then I was just bored one day and I started taking a stroll around town and it was just a warm, vibrant, sunny day out so I decided to take some more photos. As I was going a long I was just really ecstatic that I was getting the shots I was getting, after coming back to my dorm, I realized that I j...
