Social Narrative







For some reason my picture of the drunk guy sleeping would not upload.

I really enjoyed this assignment because I love the Bruins and I got to express the experience of a Bruins game. My idea kept changing for the social narrative landscape, at first I wanted to do poverty. When I was thinking social narrative landscape, I was thinking of negativity, something negative in this world that needed to be documented. I was struggling with this concept. Then I asked Sarah Nelson what she was doing for her and she said music scene. Sports clicked in my brain right away. 
   Once I had an idea I was excited about, all the juices were flowing. I wanted to go around town and capture anything that had to do with sports. I was home in Nashua at the time and for some reason nothing was really catching my eye. I had tickets to two Bruins games and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to take the pictures I wanted. All the pictures I took I ended up liking. I am one of those people that take a picture and only want to take one. I do not like taking a million of one thing. My contact sheets always end up being very short and that is why. I like to get it all in one shot. The only picture that is missing from this that I wanted, was I wanted to find a bum holding up a Bruins sign. They are always around the Garden trying to get money for cheering for the Bruins. Unfortunately I could not find one. This assignment was also hard for me to switch to black and white because I love color so much but I really wanted them to look classic.
