In this once in a lifetime trip, I took pictures in many different places- both boring and fun- such as the highway and theme parks. I started my journey boarding and taking the plane early in the morning which was the first time I went on a plane for years. Once I arrived in Florida, we drove to the warm, salty aired beach on the highway. We spent most of our day there before heading to a hotel and going to both Universal and Disney World Magic Kingdom for the next two days, each equally exciting. On our last day, we left for the airport around noon and took the plane for two hours before finally arriving home.
When taking these pictures, I knew that we would eventually have to leave the magical place so I took them for the sole purpose of memories. They would be something to reminisce over, or an item for a loved one to hear a story about in the future. When others see this picture, they may think they are ordinary, but to me, they hold a special place. I will always remember the joy I felt, taking pictures while enjoying the view all around me and exhilaration of the rides. Many people may have different opinions on my camera quality, but one thing stays the same, how I took my picture. When taking these pictures, I used my Iphone 11. Unfortunately, during this trip, I was not able to take any creative shots.
When deciding what to choose for my STLP projects, I saw this one and immediately knew I wanted to do it. I wanted to share my fun trip while taking a trip down memory lane. When I first began to choose pictures for this project, it felt like taking a dusty childhood belonging out of a box in a basement. This was also a major part of what I enjoyed about this project because it recovered so many memories. I also loved this project because I got to decide how to decorate and organize the presentation. Overall, this project was my best yet, bringing me many memories while providing me with lots of entertainment as I decided how to make my project.
