In my (humble) option you only need four elements to tell a compelling story. These four things have been wired into our human conscious throughout time, many ancestors back. By deep seated traditions, by the landscape, by chants by the fire, by tv shows and movies, by books and poems and song and religion. By street art, by food and by, well what we can now call the biggest storytellers of the century, marketers and advertisers and the people selling you things.
We may not know, it but we know it when we see it. It’s a language that besets the barriers of actual language. The dissonance of race and economics, age and beliefs. And all the other things that keep us apart, that keep us forgetting that we are all more alike than we are differant. We can speak to each other with these four things. Four things that are the building blocks to our wold.
They are present in all storytelling whether we are using written words or speech but were they really transcend as a language as a way to connect is through pictures.
It works if you have just four images or you have twenty. Maybe you have one hundred images to tell your story. Just make sure you have at least one of each of these somewhere in there and it’ll work. That’s what I'm proposing. Im also wondering if you want to come with me on a journey and do this for a a whole year.
That's what The Unfolding Year Project is. I'll be teaching about these element in more depth. Why they are important, where they came from, where do we find them? Ill also be passing on everything I know about photography, specifically about the 15 years I have spent photography on your phone.
I’ll be guiding people week by week through the telling of the story of your entire year. As we go I'll be writing my book live and sharing it with you.
