This week’s photo challenge was a tough one for me. The “assignment” was to show “a visual interpretation of one’s vision. A story, captured in a frame.” This seems to me to be something close to photojournalism. I think black and white. I think action, or a reference to action. I look through my portfolio, and most of what I have is nature portraiture and still life. The world through my eyes would seem posed, maybe even inert. Hmmm. This IS a challenge. In order to capture a story, I would have to show more of a scene, not just a subject. The backdrop, the context. That would probably mean I have to be more ready with my camera, “quicker on the draw”, so to speak. I will keep that in mind. Tomorrow, I go to my daughter’s Bridal Shower, and I intend to bring my camera. Maybe I can practice this assignment in that setting. For now, I will give you my best approximation at photojournalism, taken last October on our adventure to “Metaphorical Maine” (which actually turned out to be Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio). Here ’tis:

This is a lovely photograph! It’s so serene, peaceful and cozy. It looks like the perfect place to BE. Formally speaking, the composition is fabulous too. Keep taking portraits!
Also, congratulations to your daughter—what an exciting time!
Thank you! (and yes, it was definitely cozy and perfectly lovely lounging in that bed!)

Great shot…and interesting background. I like the abstract, rather 2 dimensional feel. It adds to a sense of being misplaced, which I think supports your narrative.
Thanks so much. And good luck with your year 50 project!
That scene and the bed looks very comfy, and luxurious – and the clean white and the detail in the tones enhances it. Very nice.
The historic Blannerhasset Hotel in West Virginia — I recommend it! Thanks for stopping by!
I am touched by your interpretation of the challenge–on the edge of photography and photojournalism. Well done.
Thanks, Sally!

A great response to the challenge. I love it.
Thank you…photojournalism may be like poetry…economical in expression, leaving more to the imagination.
