Week 6 EOC: Me x 3

#1: My tiny white film camera.. (http://bit.ly/9lkIVj)
This film camera I received from my sister on Christmas two years ago. It happened to be one of my favorite gifts and it was something I had actually picked out and had been wanting for a long time. Although it's simple and film has somewhat become outdated because of the digital age, I love the way the images turn out and I have a blast taking photos (whether they're snapshots or composed before hand). Photography is a part of me and I feel like since I haven't had a DSLR, this has become my backup partner. I usually carry it with me everywhere, and once I see a great shot in front of me, I take it. I also love this camera because of the variety of photographs I will be able to take with different types of film. The link above will bring you to a website called Photojojo.com and the rare film pack that I purchased a few weeks ago works with the same camera I have been talking about. Haven't used all of them yet, but I'm so excited to see how the images will develop.

#2: My TOMS.. (Toms.com)
I have always been a big fan of TOMS the organization/retail store. I love their whole purpose and in all I have probably owned three pairs, which isn't a lot, but because the are so pricey, it's really a treat when I'm able to buy such nice and comfortable shoes. The image above are a picture of the pair I own right now and I absolutely adore them. They're comfy and what I like most is that they have a lot of breathing room because they're made out of lace. Great summer shoes for this year's hot season and even right now they have managed to keep my feet warm.TOMS shoes are definitely a part of who I am, mostly because I have always wanted to help another person in a way that was possible for me to. The fact that they are comfortable shoes is another plus of course. I also love how they not only have a one for one with their shoes, but if one buys a pair of sunglasses, a pair of glasses goes to a child who can't see. Nothing is better than buying a product and helping a child in return.

#3: My kitten Tobi..(taken by me)
This is my kitten Tobi and he was named after my boyfriend who has been a part of my life for the last 6 years. I got him about 8 months ago and he's a huge part of my life. Yes, of course he's my pet but he's also my companion and keeps my life exciting and playful. Plus, he's a huge handful and always keeps me off my feet. I feel like he has more of a dog attitude than a cats because of his unique personality. A year ago I used to have a memory board which is a poster board that I hang goals, dreams, accomplishments, etc. on and he was one of them. For some reason throughout my childhood I have only owned dark haired cats and I always wanted to own a kitten with orange fur and blue eyes. Sort of missing the blue eye part but in actuality, Tabi (orange haired) kittens with the same eye color as their fur are more rare to find. So I guess I got lucky. Nothing could ever replace this fur ball!

Week 5 EOC: Super Bowl Commercial 2013

Not having watched the entire super bowl, what I did watch was definitely something interesting. The commercial I found most exciting was this years Taco Bell commercial (ABC News agrees, says it's "one of the best of this years big game." Visit here if you don't believe me: http://abcn.ws/UROXaz). I thought they did a wonderful job at capturing the essence of Taco Bell with the spanish version of the pop song, "We Are Young" by FUN. It was the most perfect juxtaposition with the old retired folks sleeping in their beds at the beginning, then all of a sudden showing them sneaking out on the town and doing crazy activities, from swimming and driving recklessly to getting tattoos. Overall, I thought the commercial was a huge success, and what made it even better was the ending and how the cops passed by them. It had a lot of positive energy and It looked like it was pretty fun to film also! Made me want to go buy some tacos right after I saw it! "Another college memory: Remind me to show you the near-identical storyboard I did for my Advertising Campaigns course, but for Burger King, showing retirement home folk sneaking out for a fast food fix. I’ll overlook that theft, though, since the “Goldblatt” tattoo gave a chuckle. Add in “We Are Young”en Espanol and you get a FIELD GOAL!" (Tv Line) "I love how the song was in spanish," "It told a story also..." (CNN Live http://bit.ly/WlLekP) From all the positive feedback it's received, I obviously wasn't the only
one who thought it was a huge success at this years super bowl. Good job, guys.
