Assignment #4- The Narrative

For this assignment we were asked to tell a story through our pictures. I chose to document something that I, and everyone else, does to start their day. We wake up, we take a shower, we have our coffee and breakfast and we leave. Living in an historic apartment I used this opportunity to also portray the timelessness of this routine.

The first picture is the foot of my claw foot bath tub. I loved the texture in the foot on the tub and the way it contrasted with the tiles. I also liked how it wasn't so obvious and the viewer has to think about the shower connotation within it.

The second picture is of my coffee and breakfast. I liked the contrast between the round coffee cup and the scalloped edges of the bowl. I also thought the angle was interesting as we don't usually look at our breakfast from a birds-eye view.

The last picture is of the stairs leading down to exit my apartment. I thought the lines and shadows of the stairs made for a great picture, and playing with the angle and framing i was able to include the stairs above which i thought added to the composure of the picture.
