This should be a fun assignment. Pictures tell stories of shared times, special events, love, sadness, celebrations, or just a quiet day. As I mentioned in a previous post this assignment was the result of listening to a song by The Byrds (my age is showing) “Turn! Turn! Turn!”. A few interesting facts, the song was originally recorded by Peter Seeger and later sold to The Byrds in 1965 who electrified it. In an interview with Peter Seeger, he stated the lyrics were taken from a passage in the book of Ecclesiastes (3:1-8). It has also been modified by Judy Collins’ in 1969, Dolly Parton in 1984, and in 2005 “Those Were the Days” and Vern Gosdin’s 1984 album “There is a Season”.
Songs can be inspirations for our photography or an echo of an event. Hearing a favorite song can be a time travel moment where we see the past. Seeing photos of a past event can be another time travel moment where we hear the sounds of that event. Each brings remembrance of a day in a different way, an exercise for our brains.
Below is an article on storytelling that I thought has some useful information on elements to include when telling a story in a visual way.
The meeting will again be a hybrid with in-person at the church and a zoom link for everyone else. Chuck will not be at the meeting so I’ll be depending on others for the technical support. I’m not certain if I will put the Share and Learn in the slide show as I’ve normally done or try to run it from Dropbox. So I’m asking that you upload your photos by Monday, June 20th latest, and don’t forget to resize your photos for the Gallery/Header. Chuck has instructions on the website and he includes the link to our “Share and Learn” button on his weekly e-blast. So send us down memory lane with your favorite stories, old or new!
