The curiosity photo makes us wonder where we are going to explore. You are standing on the east end of Campobella Island, New Brunswick, Canada. My curiosity was to photograph what is down the stairs.

Multiple images guide the readers along your journey. My wife and I didn’t scramble down the deteriorating concrete stairs to the beach.

I created PHOTOGRAPHS TO PARAGRAPHS to explain the stories that connect the dots to bridge the gaps.

In this story, I am sharing the next challenge to myself. So, challenge yourself to learn the flow of your perspectives in photos and storytelling.

Visual Flow

Find Your Resources: (author’s note: today’s photos or years ago photos)

  • Artists of painting and photography,
  • Photo flow of perspectives in burst photos,
  • Drawings of yours, family or friends,
  • Photos from your earliest photos you can find.

Ideas, Questions, and Research:

Author’s note;

Use the following ideas for creating your flow of images. Start a new list or change this list for your photo perspectives.

  1. Create a photography portfolio for your photo series.
  2. Can short videos (5 sec.) be included in portfolios?
  3. Flow of Perspectives; discovering changes in what you see in recent and older photos. What changed? Why?
  4. I am creating a photo series of flow for my business; PHOTOGRAPHS TO PARAGRAPHS w/ each photo/story sharing the observations’ process and changes of perspective.
  5. Why flow changes direction? Our creative thinking is stimulated by inquisitive logic or emotional moods. I am driven by curiosity and influenced by problem-solving.
  6. Curious thoughts are my temporary escape from problems. Sometimes the curiosity discovers solutions.

Join me with your discoveries in the paths through your images.

Experiment! Then, write your story of what you discovered.
