Sinatra’s Secret? Always Read the Fine Print!

I began this assignment prompt by searching through my personal albums, Pexels, Flickr, and through digital collections at the Library of Congress. Many collections caught my eye, but ultimately I really enjoyed searching through the William P. Gottlieb Collection that contains images documenting the jazz scene in New York City and Washington, D.C., from 1938 to 1948.

After cropping many photographs from this collection, I chose to highlight the above image of Frank Sinatra and Axel Stordahl at Liederkrantz Hall in New York, circa 1947. The original image is very busy, with Frank Sinatra in the foreground in the right-hand corner and the large orchestra in the background. I decided to crop the group of men in the background out using the 1:1 square preset and make Frank Sinatra the focal point, plus keeping him slightly off center to follow the rule of thirds. I also tried a similiar method after, instead cropping out Frank Sinatra and making the focal point the orchestra, but didn’t like the outcome as much because, for me, it’s too dark and has too much negative space (included below as well).

The Ballet of Shadows

Dragon Quest IV “Minuet” (ドラゴンクエストIV「潮風」)” by unknown author from the Internet Archive. Downloaded 1/16/2025. Some rights reserved.

I started this assignment by browsing many audio resources and stumbled across the Nintendo Complete Original Soundtracks on the Internet Archive. I listened to many while I decided which to choose but waited until I found one that I could envision, which was intially, not actually the one your listening to as you read this. At first, I wanted to use another song in this collection called, “Wizardry III “Adventurer’s Inn III” ” because it sounded so peaceful, magical, and like walking through the gardens on the grounds of an enchanted castle. As you can imagine, finding an image for ALL that was very difficult and none were just quite what I was imagining. But as I was listening to the collection and searching for my castle, “Dragon Quest IV “Minuet”” started to play, and I was suddenly transported to the front row of a beautiful ballet performance as the orchestra plays effortlessly. The ending specifically is where I see the image above, as the music gets quieter the dancers form their line and rest their hands as they freeze into a pose in waiting for the next song to begin.

Introducing… ME!

Hello everyone! My name is Emily Murray and I grew up in Iowa but live in Naples, Florida. I have my bachelor’s degree from Florida Gulf Coast University in Anthropology and I currently work as the Archives Coordinator at the Florida Gulf Coast University Archives and Special Collections. My job allows me to work with special collections materials, curate exhibitions, supervise undergraduate/graduate student interns, and maintain our online presence! Shameless plug if anyone is interested in archival materials, our instagram is @fgcuarchives! My job never ends 🙂 I am really excited to learn more about copyright, fair use, and other marketing strategies in this class.

I am a year into the MIS program at Florida State University and am hoping to graduate December of this year! How the time flies! With my degree, I hope to continue working in academic institutions in the future. When I am not in class or at work, I try to travel as much as I can and have been to 6 countries so far! The photo above is of me in Ireland (my favorite place 🍀) on a trip last year!
