​​Photostory Memo.
The moment after I read the photostory chapter of our text, I knew I wanted to try linking a photostory together through perspective. So concept-wise, it was easy for me to figure out what I wanted to photograph. And I would have a chance to work with my macro attachments. Little did I know how shallow the depth of field and consequently finite area in focus I had to work with when push came to shove. That was my first issue that I had to address. I solved it with a tripod, which also fixed my long shutter speeds and shaky effects.
Next I needed to figure out what things were universally taken for granted in everyday. I paid really close attention to my routines to try and pick up any potentially interesting. After editing and filtering through my shots, I came to around 45 decent pictures and from there I continued to make passes to eliminate all but 20 shots. There were some that I liked, but didn’t feel were general enough, like a dream catcher.
Then I had to figure how to arrange them. Since I got the photos by paying attention to my everyday routine, I decided to arrange them close to how I would come upon them during my day. I knew I wanted to use light, though, on both ends because it was essential to see anything and everything.
