Photo Stories

This is a photo story by Duane Michals called 'Grandpa goes to heaven' its clearly about a boys grandad dying and going to heaven, i thought the photo story was dead cute and a lot of people would be able to relate to it if they've lost a grandparent or anyone really, and obviously deaths not like a happy thing, but this picture doesn't show it as really sad either, which i thought was quite nice.

My Photo Story


This is my photo story, but its not a story where the pictures carry on from each other as you can tell, its more parts of a story. It shows a woman (my grandma) and her husband (my grandad) as a kind of ghost, and in the story shes recently lost her husband but hasn't gotten used to it yet. In the first picture shes put out 2 plates of food because that's what she was used to doing, in the second shes listening to music because she was always used to hearing the sound of her husband playing guitar, and the third shes in the garden remembering how her husband used to spend a lot of time out there bird watching. 
I don't know weather just by looking at the pictures you can tell that's the story. I kind of related this story to 'Grandpa goes to heaven' because its about loosing someone, but its about the time after they've just gone and how things will have to change.
