Tonight at his lecture he talked about story telling and the fact that photographs can't really tell a story. I feel like this issue has been one at the heart of the struggle of photography since the medium began. I guess I've always felt the frustration he described tonight but was never able to put my finger on it. He's experimenting with his own way of story telling that includes photography but still stands by the point that a photograph in and of itself cannot tell a complete story.
I thought on the way to my apartment tonight about that frustration and wall that occurs and what it means for me to tell a story through photography. And even more than that, what it means to glorify God with my photography...whether through story telling or what. I don't know...I can't seem to complete the thought. There's a wall even there. But I guess this can be my attempt at story telling. So here's my blog
Went to Woodville today to continue documenting..
Claire - I am looking forward to seeing the end result of the Woodville project. You're doing great! I love it so far!
