Hammond Hall Painting Studio
JSU has two art buildings, Hammond Hall and Carlisle Fine Arts Facility. Hammond Hall is the older of the two buildings and the central hub of most of the art department activity. It's currently home to art history, printmaking, painting, and graphic design. I work as a lab assistant so I spend a lot of time in Hammond Hall. I enjoy walking around looking at the art students are making and at how the rooms are constantly changing to adjust for various classes or assignments. The painting room is always interesting to look at since the still lifes frequently change. I [...]
Traveling Through
A stitched panoramic shot of tornado damage near Mount Cheaha in Alabama. 2009 Class: Photo II Instructor: Doug Clark Assignment: Photomerge
In Over Our Heads
We were given several photomerge assignments. These two images feature my wonderful, but very frustrated husband. Both of these images were originally much wider but I think they work better cropped in a bit.

Conversations with Myself
Conversations with Myself was a really fun assignment, probably my favorite assignment thus far. It’s also fairly easy to do as long as you have a tripod, especially if you have a stand in to aid you in locking focus. You simply take several shots of the same composition while moving your subject and blend them in Photoshop. It’s best to shoot all the shots at the same time so the lighting matches. Remember to preserve shadows. Project: Conversation with Myself Professor: Dough Clark Class: Photo II, 2009
Swim at Your Own Risk
Consumer Debt Poster, 2009 Poster Design | Spring 2009 Class: Graphic Design IV Professor: Phil Kesler Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop Consumer Debt Poster for a poster design assignment in Graphic Design 4. The assignment was to pick a theme for a social awareness poster that could be posted on campus. I chose to create a design warning other students about the dangers of debt, specifically credit card debt since it was something I struggled with while in college. I scanned credit cards and altered the numbers in Photoshop to create the sharks. The figure was created from scanning [...]
