My family has never been big on taking pictures, much less printing them out, so I had to get a bit creative on this one. I have this little collection of post cards I got on a yard sale that feature some gorgeous scenes from all over the United States, and thought it’d look really cool to try and line up the postcards to the scenes they depict. I firstly had to pick a postcard, and that was honestly pretty difficult! With so many options I simply decided to randomly grab a handful, counted them up and randomly picked a number one through six. With that out of the way, I then got to googling around for the scene I wanted, the firefall of Yosemite park. It was somewhat surprising to see one of the first results be the exact postcard I was holding, but after some careful pickings I found a background that fit really well with my card. Angling the card against my computer at the right distance was a bit tricky and my phone refused to focus properly, but overall I really enjoyed this activity!

In all honesty, I was only going to do this if I could find the picture I had in my mind. GUess what?! I found it! The original picture was took when I was about 6 years old (I am 20 now) and it was the last time I can think of where we had that much of my family together in one place at the same time! It was taken on the front steps of my house that I still live in with my parents and it hasn’t changed that much in all honesty, which makes the framing of the current location that much more noticeable! This photo just means so much to me because of the memories and the ideals that I have grown up with to keep family close to your heart! 

This assignment was intriguing to me in the sense we had to go through old pictures which brought back a lot of great memories from my childhood. The only problem with doing this assignment was figuring out what picture I wanted to use.

After a lot of thought I decided go with a picture of my sister and I on our first day of school! This is always an exciting point in every kids life as they begin to ride the big yellow bus. This picture reminds me of all the emotions that went into a kid that was going to school for the first day of the new year.

The thing about this picture and place, is every year on the first day back to school my mother would always take a picture of my sisters and I at our front door right before the bus came. Another reason I choose this picture is because of all the the changes that have been made to out front door. As you can see in the old picture it was just a green screen and door. Now as you can see it is now a white screen and door. You can also see the columns that now hold up roof on our front door and lastly the changes to the windows and the designs that are in them now. I feel the this picture symbolizes the growth process not just of us, but of changes and growth our house has gone through as well.

The process for this assignment was pretty simple. All I did was took the old picture went back to where it was taken. Then you take the old photo and take a picture of it in front of the “Scene of the Crime.” After that took the camera and connected it the computer and uploaded the photo into my computer files. From there I was able to access it through my media library and post it to my blog.
