Museum of Moving Image

I've never heard of the museum of moving image but was thrilled I got to go. It was interesting to see all of the cameras that were used awhile back. I've realized I never really put much thought into how film changed throughout the years and how much effort is put into making a film. The sound editing was really interesting as well because often times I watch film and just assume that the camera is picking up on the sounds but never noticed the other stuff being used. For example, I listened to a Simpson's episode where Lisa was taking a test in the classroom, then they showed each que that had to go into making sounds during that scene. When Lisa used her eraser and then when she gazed at the clock, there had to be those sounds added in to make it authentic. I also loved the wall dedicated to all of the great actors throughout Hollywood and it had a sign that said how acting changed throughout the years and it did. I also think that many people that love film only think about the effort the crew puts into making a film but not the actors. For something to be believable you need good actors to portray authentic emotion to make a film whole. Acting has changed and got more and more subtle because of the use of the camera (close-ups) where years ago actors had to be more dramatic to catch a specific emotion. In film, everyone needs everyone equally in order to make a film brilliant and you can't do one thing without the other.

Long Beach

Long Beach is home where the crisp air and ocean breeze can do it all...
The beach is where I find serenity along with listening to the Rolling Stones and staring at the beautiful sunset...

Italian ~ Irish

What do you do when you have an Italian mother that LOVES being Italian and an Irish father that LOVES being Irish? Embrace both nationalities I guess...

Wild Child

Once again showing a woman can take the wheel and have some fun. It's important to not just be safe in life because taking risks is where all the fun is at. I put an image of a globe to portray that everyone around the world can live on the edge no matter where you are from.

Rosie the Riveter

For all too long women were discriminated against in this country and when the war broke out we showed the skills we can use and most importantly how we get to work. We are still discriminated against until this day but let's face it we can do it and we DID do it. After all, we are the ones that carry the baby anyway...

A Day in the Life of Hunter College

This is the subway that people come in and out of everyday to start and end their day. This is also some of the busy surroundings at Hunter.
