Stories
Go out and tell your stories! You don´t always have to go looking for great photo stories. Sometimes they are right in front of your eyes.
A good photo story can be a single photo or a series of photos. It can be a news story, a time of the year, a place, a wedding or celebration - or your own family. Storytelling through photography is a source to all sorts of wonderful things, such as seeing the world more clearly.
