In recent reflection regarding the use of photos to tell a story, or the use of a collection of photos invoke an emotional response from a viewer, I have come to realize there are quite a few different ways to connect photos together, as its all in the eye of the beholder, so to speak. In this essay, I will be detailing the collection of photos I have gathered and compiled recently to show the message behind the visuals.
I’d first like to start with recognizing the collection of photos I have gathered represent the growth of my living situation over the past few years through the development of my personal hobbies, such as bowling, audio production, gaming, and tabletop gaming, with a sprinkle of flavor from my pets and family to round out what living is all about for me.
This is my workstation, I do a majority of my schoolwork, and also spend quite a bit of my free-time here as well producing music, playing video games, or communicating with other developers or gamers across the internet with services and apps like Discord. This photo represents the moment when I finally got an ideal production keyboard and invested in a standing desk to stay ergonomically sound through most of my idle time.I also happen to love cooking! This photo was taken on Christmas day when I received a cookbook with recipes from my favorite MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV! I added it to the collection simply due to the amount of times I use these recipes weekly.Another photo from Christmas! Bowling is one of the hobbies I partake in weekly, and felt adding a picture of my ball to the list would add merit to the collection as I want these photos to represent what I love to do in life.I must include the lights of my life, my cat Dexter, and my dog Peanut are extremely important to me in terms of my day to day life.Finally, as a semi-professional musician, I find quite a lot of my time is spent noodling away on my 8-string guitar, or playing with digital effects processing via the Axe-FX II.
In conclusion, I fell there are many wildly different ways a photographer can project a visual claim without using words, and only photos. I feel it speaks volumes to the way humans interpret and process information from photos. Thank you for reading.
