Mirror, mirror
I really liked the idea of mirroring scenes in the Wire because so many aspects of the show are paralleled and many elements keep showing up, and so for my last assignment I did the “wiring mirror scenes” visual assignment where I had to find two parallel scenes …
Calling all angels
I decided to do the “Wire everywhere” visual assignment where I had to capture a visual from the real world that is recurring in the Wire. At the beginning of episode 7 we see an angel in the flower shop and in that same episode there is …
Somewhere over the rainbow
I decided to use the Rainbow visual assignment to highlight the colors in the Wire. The point was to take clips from a show or movie that highlights the colors of the rainbow and string them together. This has been done before with the “Rainbow Port” post, but …

This morning
For my second audio assignment this week I did an audio recording of my morning. I used voice memos to capture the sound of my morning and was really surprised to hear how everything came out. I wonder if anyone else can figure out what some of the noises refer …
