I choose to do my story on volleyball! I love this sport and I have been playing for about 7 years now. It’s a sport that I have picked up in the beginning of high school and to this day continue to play. It’s done so much for me throughout my life. I think it’s been one of the biggest contributors to my personal development and has definitely helped with disciplining myself. Sometimes, it’s even been a great escape from everything. Overall, it’s just fun. I have met so many great people through the sport who share the same passion. It’s a long term thing that has helped me improve in little ways.
I think I did pretty well. I got to capture some nice moments as well as see the behind the scenes in the training. In my opinion, aesthetically the best picture is the one where I am hitting the ball, just because it is very satisfying. For overall best picture, I think it’s the very first one. It feels just kind of nice looking it. It’s really simple and plain, but it’s a view I see every time before I hop on the court to play. I always bring a pair of indoor shoes. It’s the one thing that hasn’t changed throughout the years. I think that one is the important but not best picture when looking at it. It helps to tell the story of playing or getting ready to do whatever I need to do.
In terms of what I would do different, I want to have more photos with other people in them. Volleyball is a team sport and the people you meet are great from it. In these photos you don’t get to see the emotional parts of the sport just the raw photos you would see going into a gym. That is probably the only change I could think of making. Other photo stories though I don’t know. There isn’t a lot of things that mean a whole lot in my life to make a photo story of besides my girlfriend. I would probably do it just because it’s interesting and a fun personal story.
