/ Lance Batho / Leave a comment

Throughout this experience, it has been pretty dull and boring which has allowed me to to try and get the most authentic pictures that I could. Today, only one of my roommates was present so I captured what he has been doing for the past week.

Seen in the pictures is Bobby Tessmar, Bobby is a sophomore at Central Michigan University studying Business Management. Bobby is currently in quarantine due to the recent pandemic as well as many other Americans.

Bobby describes the quarantine as “Boring and extensive”.

I had the honor to take a photo headshot of Dante Tocco. Dante is a sales and marketing major here at Central Michigan University. I currently live with Dante so I figured he would be a perfect candidate for the project due to current quarantine procedures.

This project was very interesting, I am not too handy with a camera yet and all the editing but I took advice from a friend who is a frequent photographer.

Overall, very fun project! Stay healthy everyone!

Ben Jolliffe and I sat down to go over the Star Wars film “A New Hope”. This was one fo the most predominate films of the 20th century and still is a very popular film today.

According to Statista, When factoring in average movie ticket sale prices in 2019. This episode of Star Wars exceeds the others by over $1 billion.

We were able to have two guest on the show to explain a little more about why the movie is so popular and what it means to them.

We were honored to make this and hope you enjoy it!
