Gabriela Basyuk

Hey, I'm Gabby. Senior going on super-senior (lets blame that on the restricted major classes offered abroad.) I'm an advertising major, with a concentration in Copywriting. I used to dabble a bit in photography, but in recent years, my nikon has collected a bit of dust under my bed..I thought this class would encourage me to start shooting more. I have an outdated photo-blog here. I'm from New York, and moved to Philadelphia for school, so its been great to really just explore everything it has to offer. I really respect and love the music scene in Philly, and the accessibility/availability to see so many of my favorite bands live. When I'm not working, I love biking, reading, taking road trips, and being a dog pervert (lusting over stranger's dogs) at local dog parks.

Luke Shimpeno - Self Portrait

Hello Everyone,

My name is Luke Shimpeno and like some of you in this class I am graduated and taking photography to finish up those last remaining credits before complete freedom. I have been a film student for the past four years and have been an animal enthusiast all my life. I have a beautiful, all white pit bull named Bubbins Curmudgeons who I rescued 6 years ago from the SPCA. The things I love in life are Movies, my dog, and the outdoors, but am interested in many different things (photography) My family's okay too :). If i'm not working on Main Campus, I am looking for jobs, exploring Philly, or with my dog. Horror is one of my favorite genre's of film, but I like almost everything. I am open minded and want to travel more. I dream of one day being rich and having a boat. This assignment was a good starter and I came to a realization that in everyday life, we almost always see ourselves in reflections of who we are (mirrors, windows, cars, pictures,etc.).

Christine Wallet

Hey everyone, my name is Christine Wallet. I'm and Advertising design major here at temple. I just walked in graduation but I need to finish this class along with two others right now then I am done for good! Yay! I am currently interning full time at D4 creative and that's where I spend most of my day. I have bounced all around when it comes to school, I spent two years at Bloomsburg University, then a semester at community college, then ended up here at Temple and just finished up my third semester....so I am kinda graduating on time. I have always had an interest in photography just never really had time to get into it as much as I wanted to. I have an amazing family and as much as i love living in the city ill still end up back in bucks county, its just to pretty not to. I am one for taking one to many tasks at one time, this summer session being a prime example, taking three online classes and working full time, not my best choice. I like staying busy almost as much as I like having free time, its a constant struggle. Juts six more weeks and my diplomas on its way! I cant wait to create some cool things this semester and see what everyone comes up with!
