Wk 5 – art experience – storytelling (photography)

My friend and I walk up the mountain to the ski lift to start a long day of snowboarding at mount Baldi
We take the ski lift to the top of the mountain to start the longest trail on the mountain.
Our scenic view from the top of the mountain as we prepare to ride.
I reach the bottom of the mountain after my friends, who snap a shot of me ducking under the snow machine.
My friend and I attack our burgers in the lodge restaurant after a long day of snowboarding.
  1. I chose this story because snowboarding at Mount Baldi is one of my and my friends’ favorite activities, and we had been planning this day for a couple weeks.
  2. I did better than normal. Being an intermediate snowboarder, I have plenty of improving to do and I enjoy it every step of the way. I think the pictures capture a lot of the perspectives we had but nothing can capture the thrill and adrenaline of carving down a mountain.
  3. I think the picture of me and my friend walking toward the snow lift with our boards in hand is probably the best photo in the story.
  4. I think the image of the fence and the mountainside is not in itself a great picture, but it is important because it shows our perspective from the top of the mountain.
  5. What I would do different next time is remember to bring the GoPro, which my friends have, but we forgot to bring, so that I could include some first person shots of myself.
  6. I’d like to also tell a story of a morning surfing, I think that would be another exciting experience to document and tell in a photo or video story.
