My name is Kenny and I was born and raised in Miami-Dade County, Florida. An interesting thing about Miami is the <a href=\"https:\/\/coralcastle.com\/\">Coral Castle<\/a>. It is a monumental structure made from very large and heavy limestone blocks that one man claims to have built yet there is very little known as to how he did it. This picture is of me at <em>El Tazumal<\/em>,  in Chalchuapa, El Salvador and is attributed to the Mayans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">I currently work for the <a href=\"http:\/\/mdpls.org\">Miami-Dade Public Library System<\/a> where I am an assistant and working towards librarianship. It is my second semester here at FSU in the MSI program. In my undergrad, I studied fine art and used to photograph with film a lot. I do it less frequently these days, mostly due to cost. I like to collect old books and records as well and enjoy spending time in nature and exploring different cultures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/fading-trails.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9027\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4040850016829616;width:386px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/fading-trails.png 622w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/fading-trails-300x214.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">In this class, I hope to use my skills already obtained through years of photography and apply it to a more conventional and user-friendly design that aligns with the current trends in social media, communications, and libraries. I would\u00a0also like to expand my knowledge and skills in video editing and production. I have done some in the past, but it has been a while.\u00a0I am looking forward to working alongside everyone this semester and seeing how our ideas align.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Everybody!
