sstakey

Hey guys, my name is Stephen Stakey and I'm a freshman at Stony Brook University. I am studying computer science there. You'll find a lot more on facebook, but here's some things about me.



I'm from the North Fork of Long Island, and I absolutely love it. This is a shot of the Long Island Sound a few minutes from my house.


I was the valedictorian at my high school. I spoke about our senior trip to Walt Disney World, amongst other things. Here I am pictured with my Superintendent, who was quite worried when I went to take off my actual hat and replaced it with that one from the trip.


So I came to Stony Brook, and I am a bass drummer in the marching band. Above you can see my mallets, which have been turned into candy canes, for the holiday gigs we played, next to my drum.


This is me at the America East Women's Basketball tournament this past March. Too bad Stony Brook didn't make it to March Madness.


I just got a new camera a few days ago, a DSC-W170. I photoshopped this photo of a sunset outside of our wonderful stadium. The original is my current background on my computer.


Lastly, above is me and the rest of the drumline, who was just named the Section of the Year! Can you tell I love the band? =]

For full-sized versions of the photos, check out the Assignment 1 album at:

This is my costume from Halloween this year. I dressed up as white trash, or a hill billy, and yes the tatoo is fake it, hurt like hell cleaning it off, and it looked like a hicky once i got it all the way off. As you can already probably tell I really like things that make me laugh.

Activity 1: Strut your stuff

Soccer Ball.jpg

When I saw hobbies as one of the options, I couldn't help but talk about my favorite sport, soccer. Ever since I was 5, I have been involved with soccer. Soccer is a big part of my family as both my brother and sister play as well. These pictures show my development of soccer throughout the years. I have been involved with the youth park district, as well as compete on a traveling club. I continued playing through out high school and am currently playing intermurals in college. I can't wait to get back out on the field and start playing again!

Activity 1

Activity 1-Friends

This is me and my best friend. My friends are my world--I wouldn't be who I am today without them.

Activity 1-Puppy

I think the worst thing about having to go to college was having to leave my dog at home. He's the sweetest little guy in the whole world, and I miss him a ton.

Activity 1-Flowers

This is a picture of one of the nicest things anyone's ever done for me. My friend and I got into a big fight, and the next day she had left flowers for me at my door to apologize and remind me how much my friendship meant to her.

Activity 1-Work

I work a LOT, but my office likes to have fun, too! This is at our work Christmas party.

And that's my life!

Activity 1

Hi. I'm Steven from New Jersey. I'm looking forward to participating in this activity. Hope I'm doing this correctly and this post works!!!

I know what your thinking, two completely unrelated pictures right? Well that's just who I am, I love going outside and hiking, relaxing in the sun, etc and when I'm inside I'm a computer geek putting together computers.

Strut your stuff

We'd like to get to know you better, and what better way than to use a combination of photos, imagery and/or videos to tell us more about yourself?

There is *no* restriction on the subject matter of the photos, imagery or videos that you wish to take. What’s important is that they are representative of who you are. You are also free to make them creative or unique - tell it like it’s your life story, enhance the photos using the tools in Photoshop Express if you wish, or do more with your photos/videos in ways that no one has tried before…remember, this is your show!

The only *requirement* is that we would like you to use Photoshop Express, but you are free to use other photo or video programs/tools as well in conjunction!

A couple of guidelines:
- Use no more than a total of 6 photos
- Any videos that you incorporate should last no more than 2 minutes
- To give us more context, it would be good to include captions to describe what the photos are about; same for videos, or you can narrate too if you want!

Here are examples of photos/videos that you might want to take:
- what you cannot live without
- most important people in your life
- your most prized object in your room
- places that you frequent
- hobbies or your favorite things to do

To use Photoshop Express , go to photoshop.com/express, and create an account.
Below are some things that you could note while using it.

1. Your first 15 minutes - What was your initial impression of the site? What were the main things that you tried to do?

2. What are the top 3 things that made you go “wow…this is what I’ve been waiting for!” (and you can list more than 3 if you want, or less if 3 is too many). Be as descriptive as possible.

3. What are the top 3 things that made you perplexed - “what is this? I can’t believe this is coming from Adobe!”

4. And lastly, here’s a section for your wish-list. Tell us the moments when you went “If only…”, “What if…”, or “I wish…”. You can add as many as you want! Again, please provide us with as much context on how that wish came about, i.e., what were you trying to do, what was your goal? The more information we have, the more likely we can make it into reality!

Where to share/post your creation and feedback
- Please send your feedback on Photoshop Express directly to me @ mtjandra@adobe.com; once everyone has submitted their responses, I will then share them via the mailing list @ DL-PX-Panel
- To share your photo or video creation, please post on the Adobe blog at http://blogs.adobe.com/youthpanel/ - this can either be in the form of a link or image/video file. Steps to upload a file can be found in a separate entry.

We would appreciate if you could complete this activity by next Friday (April 18, 2008).

Remember to have fun!
