Topic: A Scope Into My Journey
Why did you choose this story?
I chose this one because I felt like it would give people the easiest insight into my life and general outlook of my personality. Furthermore, it’s probably the most simple one to do.
How do you think you did?
I actually think I did a really good job of keeping this assignment really minimal while explaining a lot.
Which image do you think is individually the “best” image in your story?
Aesthetically, the professional shot of me in the dry riverbed at Big Bear would have to the best image and my personal favorite. We were busy hiking and I got lost in the moment taking in the surroundings. My friend Jason took the candid while I was in the small trance, and it came out really well.
Does your photostory contain an image that you think is not, by itself, a “great” image, but that is nonetheless important because it helps to tell your story?
I think the first image of the scale isn’t all that appealing. While it is just a picture of a digital scale, the memories that come with it still stick with me. It reminds me to stay humble of my struggles back in high school with my self image and that the numbers shouldn’t define my self perception.
What would you do different next time?
Next time I would take more time putting together a lot more pictures in between to have a more detailed outlook of my life. This time around I just wanted to put pictures that depicted certain milestones.
Are there other Photo Stories you might like to tell?
A future photo story that I would love to tell, is when I have amassed a lot of pictures of my travels. I haven’t done much going out of the country, but I would really like to within the next two years.
