It was really difficult to take pictures that answered our framing question. I had to really sit down and think about how I would answer the question and then what image would capture my answer. It took a lot of time to just think about that and many times when I was out and about I would find myself trying to find meaning in little things. I think this part of the process was very difficult, but very enlightening. I was forced to step out of my comfort zone and take pictures in public places. Also, I started to notice things that I never did before. At our actual meeting session on April 13, we helped everyone select an image to use as their final product. The image above is not what was chosen for me, but you will see my final picture in my presentation. The best part about this photovoice session was getting to see how others answered the question. Everybody had their own unique perspective that I would never have thought of on my own. After we selected pictures for everyone, each person stated why they took the picture that they took and how it answers the question. Then everyone else offered their own perspective to help them write their narrative. After this session was over, the narratives that go along with the picture was our homework. For my narrative, I spent awhile just trying to begin it. My picture offers a very personal view and it's hard to put that down into words that are not too revealing, but are still insightful. Yet once I started writing, the words flowed easily. I believe that this portion of photovoice was a lot easier than the picture taking portion just because writing is a lot easier for me.
