September 18th, 2022 The Beauty of Surrealism By: Connor Albaugh It has been quite a while since I worked with photography in terms of mapping out and creating a visually entertaining and captivating image. The topic of this blog really challenged me to think outside of the box and made me think hard about what I could do to create a good photograph. My thoughts, and eventually the photos I took to create an image were all taken in the interest of surrealism .
