For this prompt, we had to tell the story of aging through a photograph. I decided to use a photo I took of a blossoming bud at Cuesta Park, which was right at the peak of it coming into the prime of it’s life. I enjoyed the solitary nature of the photo and added adjustments in photoshop to make it resemble a grainy photograph. That helped me pull together the story of this image, where a simple part of nature is stuck before arguably the prime of it’s life. This photo reminisces on what we have to leave behind when we get older, while also acknowledging the opportunity growing up can provide.
