7 Iconic Photos Edited With Prisma
The Guardian

Prisma is a new viral app that can change all photos, both professional and amateur, into gorgeous works of art. This new technology recreates each photo from scratch, building a new image instead of simply applying a filter on top of the photo like Instagram. Prisma users can take a photo in the app or select a photo from their camera roll to work with. After cropping the image, you can choose from various stylistic filters and watch as your cell phone pictures are transformed into something beautiful. Below are seven iconic photos that I edited using Prisma.

1. Man on the Moon (1969).

This iconic photo of Buzz Aldrin planting an American flag on the moon has been transformed using Prisma's "Dreams" filter.

2. Tank Man (1989).

The "unknown rebel" standing in front of oncoming tanks at the Tiananmen Square massacre during a peaceful protest in China has been coined as "Tank Man." This photo was edited using the "Marcus D" filter on Prisma, giving it a comic book-esque appearance.

3. Raising the Flag at Ground Zero (2001).

This photo by Thomas E. Franklin was captured on September 11, 2001 at the site of the World Trade Center terrorist attack. These American firefighters were raising an American flag on Ground Zero. The photo was edited with the "Tears" filter on Prisma.

4. Muhammad Ali Knocks Out Sonny Liston (1965).

This photo of Muhammad Ali knocking out Sonny Liston in 1965 was edited using Prisma's "Caribbean" filter. Although the original photo was great on its own, the Prisma image gives the photo more passion and rawness.

5. V-J Day Kiss in Times Square.

This legendary kiss from World War II of George Mendonsa and Greta Friedman was edited using Prisma's "Mononoke" filter, giving the photo a more romantic style.

6. Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven Year Itch."

Marilyn Monroe was an icon for beauty on her own, but this photo of her scene in the film "The Seven Year Itch", edited with Prisma's "#GettUrban" filter, gives the image a sharper, more three-dimensional look.

7. Boston Marathon bombing (2013).

This iconic photo of police reacting to a second explosion at the finish line of the Boston Marathon in 2013 was edited with the "Udnie" filter on Prisma. This Prima filter creates a sense of chaos and confusion that mimics what was occurring in real life when the photo was taken.

The originals of these iconic photos were breathtaking as they were, but using Prisma filters on them gives them a new perspective. You can download the Prisma app for Android, iPhone, and PC Windows/Mac and begin creating your own works of art!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
