Assignment 2:The "Unseen"

1. Classroom Speakers: We hear them but we don't look at them.

2. Power Outlet: Electricity is something that is so common place in this modern world. Never do we look to see where each and every electrical device is plugged in. 

3.  WiFi Port: We never look to see where our wireless internet actually comes from. 

4. Air Conditioning Units: We are reliant on our AC especially during the summer months but because the AC units are typically placed on the back side of buildings we rarely come across them. 

5. Inside of ball-point pen:When you pick up a pen to start writing you trust that ink will come out but only if you're doing a photography assignment on unseen things or if you're bored as all hell in class you really would never look at the inside parts of a pen.

Assignment 1: "What Defines Me"

  

1. Tennis Racquets: The game of tennis has taken me many places in life including CUA.

  

 2. Media Studies Book: I am majoring in Media Studies here at CUA and I hope to one day use this degree to become a sports broadcaster.

 3. San Diego Chargers Hat: I had to bring some Chargers gear to college. Go bolts!

4. My Active Shoes: I am a very active "outdoorsy" person so these shoes are essential. Plus the CUA colors looks great.

5. Swimsuit: At home in San Diego I am for the most part either on the tennis court or at the beach surfing. I feel that my go to swimsuit well represents my home town.
