I chose to make a story on my ski day with my grandpa because family is the most important thing in my life, and it means alot to me that I can go out with my grandpa and bond with him over something we both enjoy. I think that I conveyed fairly well that I’m willing and able to go to great lengths to make sure I can have a relationship with my family. There’s I don’t like waking up early, and driving for an hour with horrible music. However, the drawbacks are far outweighed by being able to go ski with my grandpa and see him so happy. I think the best image that I took that day is the picture of my grandpa kicking up snow with a smile on his face. Not every picture in this blog post is a winner, in particular the third picture of the freeway sign is rather uninteresting. Nonetheless, I included it in my story to show that I commit a significant portion of my day listening to staticky radio driving behind trucks to have a good day with my grandparent. If I had to do something different I wouldn’t take any pictures and I’d take no pictures and just enjoy my day with my grandpa. I don’t like to take pictures generally because it takes me out of the moment and I’d rather live my life than document it. As far as if there’s any chance at me doing another photostory, probably not. The closest that I would come to doing this again is a one off photograph that might help supplement a story that I’m telling in person.
