What can students learn from snapshots?
1. Truth.
![Page 10: What is the significance of](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816953550346895de0fbfb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Photographs are evidence.A recording of events.
Fact.
![Page 11: What is the significance of](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816953550346895de0fbfb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Maybe.
![Page 12: What is the significance of](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816953550346895de0fbfb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Maybe.
A reunion?
![Page 13: What is the significance of](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816953550346895de0fbfb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Maybe.
A reunion?A farewell?
![Page 14: What is the significance of](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816953550346895de0fbfb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Maybe.
A reunion?A farewell?An award?
![Page 15: What is the significance of](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816953550346895de0fbfb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Maybe.
A reunion?A farewell?An award?A binding agreement?
![Page 16: What is the significance of](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816953550346895de0fbfb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Maybe.
Looking more carefully reveals details that leave questions.
![Page 17: What is the significance of](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816953550346895de0fbfb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What is the meaning of that detail?
Who or what is he looking at?Could it be read as a sign of distrust?Could that mean the relationships here are more complicated than they appear on the surface?
![Page 18: What is the significance of](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816953550346895de0fbfb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
There is an enormous gapbetween the photograph,and the viewer of the photograph.

What do we fill that gap with?

Jamie Livingston, a photographer and filmmaker, took a polaroid photo every single day, starting when he was a student in 1979 up until he died of cancer at 41 on October 25, 1997. He called it “Photo of the Day” and for 18 years religiously used his Polaroid SX-70 camera to capture these unassuming, unposed, ordinary memories that eventually became the narrative to the last half of his life.

“Again I’m fascinated by the anthropological aspects to these camera phones. It’s like at weddings when you put disposable cameras out on the tables and have the guests photograph “real” moments at the wedding to get variety and the really drunk shots. Having tons of camera phones out in society serves the same purpose, one giant album of the “real” and sometimes drunk moments of everyday society.”

Narrative is the most pervasive and lasting form of communication between human beings.
Narratives are our way of understanding our place and purpose in the world.

Visual Literacy ( How to “read” an image. )
What is going on in this image?
What do you see that makes you say that?

The basic structure of a story.
Who is the main character?What does he/she want?Who or what is preventing them from getting it?How do they overcome that obstacle?

You might think it’s obvious.
![Page 44: What is the significance of](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816953550346895de0fbfb/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
A good story is never obvious.
Exploring character, motive, and human behavior lets the mind wander into the territory where stories can be imagined.
To be dramatic, stories must always have conflict.
