Throughout these photos my friend Noah portrays what he does to get ready for a day of being quarantined. This is his apartment we are in, he also plays basketball but since we could not go to any gyms we chose his residence.

For today we were at Walnut Park taking photographs. I mainly took photos with Justin and Jesus while walking through nature. It was a great time to be there since it was daytime, it may it easy for us to see every aspect of the park. Most of our photos consisted of different aspects of nature, like inspects and grass. I wanted to get shots of inspects because I always find it interesting to study how they act in their environment. Overall the field trip was very fun and inspirational as well, at the end I found myself wanting to go back out and get more.

About each of these photos were taken in downtown San Diego in the Gaslamp District. The first photo was taken at CSUSM and the second in a condo downtown. While each of these photos illustrate the compositions, the downtown photos illustrate the calm, relaxed environment of a Sunday. The purpose of them is to capture nature in an urban setting during the daytime. The reason I edited the photos how I did was to test the various effect Lightroom had. Some I wanted to see how colors would change the effect of the photo while others I used grain to create a vintage effect.

• Hi, my name is Marcus Jeffery, I am a fourth year student from San Diego. Currently, I am majoring in business marketing and digital arts. During my time in high school was when I found my medium. Inspired by artist on social media, I became interested in creating and editing photos through Photoshop and other applications. As I kept learning and practicing over the years I became to love the process more and more. Therefore, my goals in this class are to learn the basics and find my own style in photography. Then I can use my own photos rather than someone else’s for editing.

While the audio recording was the same as the audio on the video were they both gave different illustrations of what photography is. Listening to the audio it felt like the speakers were defining photography as a way to find yourself. Since there was no video imagining what their vision was helped me somewhat understand what they were explaining. Once the video started playing though I realized what I was imagining may have not been what they were trying to explain. Compared to the audio, the video gave examples of what each speaker was talking about. This gave the video a stronger meaning and made photography seem more important than it ever was. Kind of like it was a righteous duty of us to document the life around us with photography.
