"These are not diaries these are journals. I want to know about the world you inhabit, the people around you, who are they, how do they behave. Language and behavior that's all the actors got to work with, so keep your eyes open, observe, record. How is emotion expressed thru action, gesture. Understand other people and you'll begin to understand yourself." ~ the movie Fame 2009
I used to think of photographs as individual stand alone pieces, which they can be, but they also can be strung together to tell a story. How you place images together changes how the story is read. When I started photographing weddings I realized it was more about the story than a single image and I began exploring the idea of visual stories.
Use your camera to journal about the world around you. Photograph the people, their interactions with others to discover their story. If you prefer places to people, choose a space in nature and photograph it over time. How can a place tell a story, what does adding the element of time do?
