My wife and I were happily married in August of 2007.  The story is of our wedding and honeymoon.

Well, I suppose our trip was a success. As I mentioned before, Bev mysteriously left earlier than I expected, so I was left alone to explore a little bit more on my own. Bev, as is her way it seems, left very specific travel plans that I could follow should I choose – as well as a very large amount of cash with no explanation as to where it came from.

I’ve really enjoyed just seeing all the different parts of this city. There’s so much here and around every corner it’s something different. Looking at our pictures, I can definitely see that mine and Bev’s experiences were pretty different, but I enjoyed my time nonetheless.

This assignment was a really great final way to tell the story of our characters’ little vacation (if you can call it that). Mariah and I decided to do the same assignment but use completely different pictures/aesthetic to show how different the single trip was from two different perspectives.

The process with this was pretty simple: find the pictures, stitch together using a generic iPhone app that allows for that, and then uploading. For our collaborative assignments we tried to stay simple so that we could spend most of our time stretching our creativity and finding ways to make a really detailed and extensive story. I think that ended up being pretty successful.

For this assignment we had to make a collage that tells a story. To make this collage I used the app “PhotoFrame,” to combine all four photos. This collage tells the story of a typical day in the life of Scott Brinkmann. He starts his day off by arriving at his hotel about 30 minutes before it opens. He then checks the guest book to see who will be checking in and out during that day. About half way through the day he heads down the street to his favorite deli where he gets a sandwich almost every day. For the remainder of the day he checks guests in and out and helps them with whatever they might need.

Bev here – Damon and I got back from our trip to Bali and it was wonderful. We did a lot of things. As you will see on Damon’s post, we really had different perspectives for what we wanted to do in Bali. Yes, I wanted to see everything, but I also wanted to catch up on some much needed sleep. Anyways, as you can see. We had some fun, but I ended up having to leave early and go back home to take care of some things. Overall, I really loved the trip and I think it was a good time for Damon and I to become friends like I knew we always would.

This assignment was worth 3 stars.  It was fairly easy. Jonathan and I talked out where we wanted to go and then made each of our post together. They are a little different but tell the same story in some way specific to our characters. We found pictures of Bali and then send them to our iPhones. From there, we used an App called Instasize to put them in collages. We saved them and then sent them back to ourselves. Overall, I thought this project was pretty easy and I think it would be a good way to keep updating our characters in a way that is not just about words!

Here is the digital storytelling collage assignment that is three points. I wanted to do a story assignment with pictures for my character Lukas Jones. I went through the character travel to the past and the characters he meets.
