SWISH! Everyone knows the sound a basketball makes when a player makes that "perfect" basket, usually followed by some taunting and celebrating from the player that made the shot, and an eruption of cheering from the crowd. I could have chosen a photo of a player yelling, or grunting to show sound but I felt this is a sound many people can relate to. Even though I never played basketball I do find the swish of a basketball somewhat soothing, especially when the gym is silent and all you hear is the swish of the basket.

This photo is a vintage radio that was handed down to me. It represents a time when the radio was the only thing that some families had for entertainment. It helped spread the sound of music!

Sound is a wonderful thing; it can be so simple an beautiful and yet so raw and packed with emotion. I wanted to capture the raw power of sound in a photograph. Using a red, green, and blue light I tried to replicate the overwhelming power and creativity sound has on people. It is straight forward and in your face just like sound.

Apple Computer is the best example that technology isn't just about the specs anymore.  Their computers have a look that is sexy and modern with sleek lines, innovative design and eye catching displays. That's not to say that Apple doesn't have the specs to go along with their technology - because they do.  But as a consumer I am more drawn to things that are stylish or pretty instead of perfect specs and butt ugly.  I don't want to have to buy a cabinet to put my ugly $30 speakers in to keep them off my desk.  Technology isn't only about allowing you to edit that image, download a video, or create a word document anymore, but more so a battle between style, size and features.  

I bought these Harmon Kardon brand speakers to essentially look cool on my desk.  I wasn't too concerned about having the loudest sound or the deepest bass but more so the looks.  I can definitely tell that I got what I paid for, they are cool looking but lacking in sound quality.

Music is one of my escapes from the rush of everyday life. There is something about music that nothing else can do for me some days. It can be turned up loud when I am frustrated, or there is even music that is softer and more mellow. No matter my mood, there is always some music that accompanies me and my mood throughout my day.

Vintage! Nothing says sound like a classic record player. Throughout a life time, only the best artists have produced records that only a few people have in their collections. Record players have become less and less popular as new technology is produced, but those who own a record player appreciate it and the sound it creates! They take you back to a whole new era...

Sound was the hardest concept blog to come up with.  How do you take a photograph of something that you can't see?  You really can't take a photograph of sound, it is something you have to hear or see the word itself.  I don't think that you can show something that makes a sound because people would think it's just a photograph of the product.  I thought that trains have been all around the country and they have been around every sound possible, so what would know better than a train that sound is everywhere?
