My very affluent community spends a lot of money on them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being the gracious lady that I am, I held my tongue and said, &#8220;Thank you.&#8221; Literally that same week, I ended up having to stay home from work to deal with car issues. While it was being repaired, I decided to walk to the beach and remind myself that I had a lot of things to be grateful for.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got to the beach and remembered that my county is in the middle of a beach regeneration project. My first thought was to take a picture to share with my classmate. So I found a somewhat safe spot and tried to take some pictures. However, it was bright and hard to see the screen of my phone. When I got home, the pictures looked bad, so I decided not to share them.  Here is an example of one of the pictures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PXL_20211116_164147570-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PXL_20211116_164147570-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PXL_20211116_164147570-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PXL_20211116_164147570-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PXL_20211116_164147570-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PXL_20211116_164147570-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a boring picture. Not only is my knee in the way, but the surreal experience of an oversized Tonka truck driving up and down the beach with a minion is lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, I decided to edit this picture using the Rule of Thirds. It was hard to pick between the two subjects, and how to position the image vertically. I finally came up with this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tonka_Activate2-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tonka_Activate2-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tonka_Activate2-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tonka_Activate2-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tonka_Activate2-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tonka_Activate2-2048x1150.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tonka_Activate2-520x292.jpg 520w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tonka_Activate2-610x343.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I think this version not only better represents the enormity of the trucks that were rolling down the beach that day, but it gives me an opportunity to tell a much better story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the day the Decepticons came for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One evening last semester, we were working on a group project and started sharing where we live. &#8220;I love Naples!&#8221; My teammate said to me, &#8220;You have beautiful beaches.&#8221; We better, I thought.
