This week, I was tasked to create a photo story using a software I was unfamiliar with. I used Photo Story 3 for Windows for the first time, and I found it remarkably easy to put together. About a month ago a colleague of mine passed away, and at the viewing they had a photo slideshow of his life and his family, and I was impressed at how it came together. Although it I still think the subject material was moving, I am no longer impressed with the actual creation of the slideshow, as Photo Story makes it so easy to put something together that looks professionally done.
I did read the information on how to create a photo story, but, like any good youngish man, I did not read the manual on how to work the software. Thankfully, it was extremely straightforward. The most difficult aspect was actually deciding what to make a photo story of. Although I own a digital camera, I typically only use the camera on my iPhone, and I only take pictures of my dogs as they are more photogenic than me. My first thought was to make my digital story about my dogs, but after Monday's video conference, I thought I should probably do one that was more about me. My second option was to take photos from online and piecemeal together a story on how I became a teacher. After talking with my partner, Ray, I decided to go ahead and make the photo story about my dogs as they are an important part of my life.
I hope you enjoy it should you watch it.
