“The greatest art in the world is the art of storytelling.” – Cecil B. DeMille
The challenge this week is to show pictures which tell a story. Ann-Christine asked, “What is a photo story? Some photos are staged, or taken just for their story, and some stories come up first when you see your photo on the screen. A lot of photographic storytelling involves capturing shots of interesting scenes and phenomena that cannot easily be explained through words…. There are so many stories to capture…and to tell.”
It is normal to see fish constantly swimming in an aquarium and hopefully the banner image tells their story since most fish have to stay in perpetual motion to survive. Swimming provides a constant flow of water moving through their gills in order to maintain a proper oxygen level in their bodies.
The picture below tells the story of a dog patiently waiting for the return of his owner. The person left in his boat to run an errand and the dog stayed behind. It will be dark soon and he is alone on the beach, waiting. It was great to see the joyous reunion when the man returned! This was taken in Aruba.
A happy story showing how proud the man is as his son completes the last event in a children’s triathlon!
