Why did you choose this story?
I chose to do a story about my friend and ice cream because it seemed like a very small, personal idea which is what the prompt asked for. I also thought it would be a really fun subject because who doesn’t love ice cream?
How do you think you did?
Personally, I think I did well. I had a lot of fun doing this project and making up a goofy yet interesting story about it!
Which image do you think is the individually “best” image in your story?
I think the 6th picture with my friend holding the ice cream and smiling is the best image in my story. It captures the fun, playful subject matter of the story while also showing how excited we were to eat the ice cream! And of course, it’s a picture of ice cream — nothing can top that.
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 3rd picture of the empty shelf does not really work well outside the context of this story. However, it was very important to the story because it showed that the supermarket was sold out of the ice cream we wanted, thus forcing us to find an alternative.
What would you do different next time?
Next time, I think I would try to take more aesthetically pleasing photos. I noticed that some pictures were a little out of focus or seemed a little bland. Better framing as well as more focus on particular subjects would improve my photography for next time!
Are there other Photo Stories you might like to tell?
Sure, I think there are plenty of other photo stories I could tell. I think I’d want to tell really fun, non-serious stories like the aftermath of a party or a day of rock climbing if I had a second chance to do this project.
