Memories

Ran across this box of VHS-C tapes and cassette tapes. Takes me back to a time when we would record our memories on something other than a phone. Most of these are from the early 80s and I only know what a few have on them. There is a recording of me singing On Top of Spaghetti. A song I learned in preschool. I’m sure there’s more on that cassette, but that’s the only one I remember. Christmas morning 1983. I’d love to listen to that one again. A Christmas play recording for me to practice against from first or second grade. I need to find a service to transfer all these to a digital file. Someone said that there’s way to do this at the library. I’ll need to look into that. Free is always better.

The Phone Photography Project

It’s day 12 on the Phone Photography Project I mentioned several posts ago. I’m still taking the daily challenges as I can. There aren’t always enough hours in the day!

Here are the photos from Day 1 Shoot your Feet,

One of the great things about this class is the opportunity to try out new phone apps. So far my favorite new app has to be Overgram followed closely by MagicHour. These apps are linked directly to Instagram and make editing a snap.

Speaking of Instagram, follow jeswel and see more of my photos from the Big Picture Classes Phone Photography Project.

The Phone Photography Project

I loved my first Big Picture Class so much that I decided to take another. This one is all about leveraging your phone to photograph your life. I had just upgraded to an iPhone 5 so it seemed like perfect timing.

The second assignment was to take photos of your initials and a picture of yourself to create a collage using one of the many available photo apps. I used Fuzel as that is what the class recommended. The initials came from a James Clavell book, a bottle of Tazo tea and a poster from the doctor’s office.
