Agency Photography

-
This picture represents agency to me because I feel as if I am being pulled in a million different directions, and I use my agency to decide where to go. I have my computer, representing a million distractions and resources, both good and bad. I have a pile of books, textbooks, and journals, showing that I can choose what to spend my time on, but ultimately, my scriptures at the far right of the picture are the best thing I can be spending my time on/with.

    I think it really resonated with me the fact that we are being pulled in many different ways and our agency is so vital to these decisions. It made me expand the notion of how important my agency is and how much is competing with it. My question is why do you think there is so much guilt by spending our time on other things that we are learning and growing from besides our scriptures or something connected to the Church?

    Emma, I totally resonated with your description and photo! Lately especially, I've been feeling stretched really thin, and sometimes I feel like I don't have agency in my school life. Of course I do have agency, but I think I've trained myself to think that there's only one way to do things: get ALL my work done on time, keep up with ALL of my friends, be a part of ALL of the extracurricular things, etc. It's so important to remember that we really can choose what we spend our time with. Now I need to just shift my choices from watching Netflix to reading books :)

Medium Specificity

I used the app Unfold as my medium. It's designed for Instagram stories, but I wanted to see what other purposes it might have. I got this idea because I had made Instagram stories of pictures of md my boyfriend, but I wanted a way of putting them all together as almost like an online scrapbook. I first made a "story" on Unfold of all the picture collages/pages I had made so far. Unfold offers a variety of templates to use, up to 5 pictures in a variety of layouts, in addition to some with words and without. There is also the option to add text, stickers, and change the color of the "page." You can duplicate the page, in addition to switching the order of the pages. I loved being able to explore how to format the pictures within each page. You could zoom in, switch the picture location, and adjust the filters of the pictures. One thing that I didn't like was while you could choose which picture went in the predetermined location, you couldn't move those...

Thinking and Writing About Digital Media

-
In reference to creating media, I tend to primarily create poetry. I have recently begun to delve into lyrical essays, as well as performing at poetry slams. Words are an important source of truth and goodness, and I want to be a part of creating more of that in the world. I also absolutely love making or filming funny videos with my younger sisters that have a vibe similar to TikTok videos. These creations make me feel like more of who I am, and they allow me to showcase sides of myself that people normally don't get to see or experience. After some reflection, I have realized that I create the media I do because it brings me joy, and it creates human connection.  In reference to consumption, media is like chocolate. I almost never say no to it, although I don't consider it an addiction, merely something that I enjoy. Unless I have too much of it, that is. At this moment in my life, my media use is primarily textbooks and school related sources, so my media consumptions habit...
