I Googled Myself and...

So I'm not going to lie, I think we all at a time googled ourself. Could've been just for fun or pure boredom. Anyways so I googled myself and I haven't done that since freshman year of high school. Back then the things that come up were my track records from track and field and I was involved in student government so my picture came up and under my name showed "Senior Class Officer."

Today when I googled myself, I found out nothing bad per say but just my Instagram came up which I was surprised with, then my Facebook along with the other Gabrielle Shen's. Then my Pinterest showed, and all my past presentations from Prezi showed up as well. Those were all the things I found out about me, and nothing really showed up in images. I guess you could say I am pretty under the radar on the web world, which is kinda nice, but also kinda worry some because as a pursuing photographer I hope to get my name more out there and make my work I guess "be known."I wasn't too bummed or anything, but I was surprised I guess that I showed up even at all compared to everyone else in this world.

I hope and want to create an online awareness more now especially while being in college and with the plans that I have, its kind've necessary to I guess portray my online presence and how well I am communicating through social media's. I think the way I handle my current social media's are pretty good. I post regularly and always post my pictures on both Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I do that to eventually be reached out and start taking pictures for local business or just small jobs, and while my post show I have somewhat skill. I don't really advertise that I am reachable for jobs like that. So I think I need to make those ways of being reached known on my social media's because I can't expect them to fall into my lap.

My goals of creating a more of an online awareness is to just make myself reachable on my social medias. Like I know there is DMing but advertising that I am here and ready to work I think will make a difference in reaching my goal of becoming a photographer. Also I have been working on a portfolio online and I should leave the link in my bio's to show people a little more of what I'm about.

    Aloha Gabby,

    Yes, good to see someone brave enough to try out the blogger responsive themes! Please use this class to organize and create your photography and use the activities to help you reach your goal please! I really look forward to seeing your pictures.

    I'm asking this question:

    Being a good “guest” and being a positive member of an online community can be a huge part of building your online brand. The Golden Rule – treat other people the way you’d like to be treated – is a good start, but how can you look for ways to be helpful and contribute to the online communities that you’re a part of now and in the future?

    Thanks,
    Greg

I feel that is one of my purposes and what I hope to do what I love as a job which I guess kinda goes with purpose. But most importantly I feel that through the adventurous spirit and capturing it, it also creates a bond and amazing memories with my friends, it just generates so much happiness, which is the ultimate goal. My whole life motto is pretty much love. I feel love is a big part of communica...

Crap Detection

So for this assignment I wasn't really sure what to focus on, so I decided to look into photography but more of underwater photography like professional surf and wave photographer Zak Noyle. So honestly I'm not sure exactly how this topic would be enough for the CRAP test, but I think I made it work anyways. So You Want To Be A Professional Underwater Photographer?  , score 4 Get Paid To Travel The World-Underwater  , score 3 How to Get a Career in Underwater Photography?  , score 4 How to Take Photos Underwater  , score 3 For these sources I gave fairly high scores because all of them elaborated on the subject and all came from organizations/ real people who actually do it for a living. Also from sources like National Geographic which has been around for ages and is a reliable source for getting any story.

What Are You Really Learning at School and Do Standardized Test Matter?

Image
(Background story) So if you are like me growing up school wasn't your best friend. Don't get me wrong I loved school for the social aspect and the fact that I got to see my friends, but when it came to the academic side it was the absolute worst. I went to a private school and the level of education was higher than public school (supposedly). For me I was a visual learner and a hands on person, I hated the fact of just sitting in a math class and doing math problems on a board and chemistry learning formulas. I liked classes like English, occasionally history, and loved Art. Then when it came to the SAT's and ACT's you can only imagine how stressed I was because school and I were never best friends my best in math and science was probably B and C work. My parents always told me that I should go higher in Math, but as soon as I got my required credits for high school I said "GOODBYE" to math forever (until I got to college). When it came to college because o...
