Ex 7: The Journey Is The Destination

Welcome back from what must have surely been an exciting field-trip. And, I am sure you've come back with tons of memories and hundreds of photographs.

For this exercise, I want you to choose any 5 of your favourite photographs you took while on this trip, that encapsulates the idea that "the journey is the destination". Interpret the statement first. Then, go about constructing a narrative (a story) around those 5 photographs and place them in the order you'd like us to view them. The first one on top, followed by the second and so on. (you'll have to post  the last one first, to get it in correct viewing order). NO TEXT. Do not write anything. No captions, nothing. Just the number - 1,2,3, etc. Let the rest of us decode the story you are trying to tell ONLY through images. The rest of us will write (as comment) the story that's being conveyed by these 5 photographs.

Think about...What is it about journeys that appeals to us? Is it only physical? What about the journey within? Did I discover something new - about the place, about the other, about myself? How can I express all that in just 5 images?

This is an individual exercise. Going by the response to the previous exercise on "Reflections", I propose that from now on, these online exercises are OPTIONAL. Besides, you are hardly commenting on each others photographs. So, only those interested may post their photographs. We'll continue using this space to push our learning boundaries. No marks or grades, etc :) Just the thrill of trying something new...and hopefully learn along the way! Enjoy! - Ajay
