5 Stories in a Photo
When I step into a crowd, my imagination often tempts me to think about each person I see, and what they are going through, what they have gone through and what they are about to go through. It gets overwhelming and I immediately turn my thoughts elsewhere. It is overwhelming to know that the complexities in my one single life is true for another, although it acts out in different ways.
Here, there are 5 stories captured in 1 photo in front of the Albert Memorial. Who are they texting? Who will they send that selfie to? What will be their caption? How many likes will they get? Where are they now? These questions go on. But in that simple shot, 5 lives were brought together and now have dispersed into the motion of life.
