Ultimately my series for the final project is going to be in the subject of Covid-19, so my hands were strongly tied for this series. I decided to put a focus on things my family bought for us to more easily survive this pandemic. The first photo is of an adjustable dumbbell we bought days before the store that sold them closed. The only things that I could show in that photo was the adjustment labels, so I took the picture from overhead. The second photo is of the toilet paper that we bought. In total I think it is 150 rolls. I had to ensure that the entirety of the rolls were visible in the photo. The last photo is the best one, albeit imperfect. Its of the box for the Nintendo Switch that we bought. The Switch itself is not the interesting part. The interesting part is the effort that it took for me to get the switch. I had to watch a stores website for days waiting for them to go on sale (and they would sell out in less than 1 minute). I then had to drive an hour each way to go pick up the Switch. All of that isn't shown very well in the photo itself, however I did tilt the box such that the curbside pickup sticker and Switch logo are clearly visible. Since this was a documentary series and the subject was more what we bought instead of why we bought it there was less of a conveyable message through photographic techniques. I have a really good series coming up that is much more comprehensive of life with Covid-19 so hopefully that one is better.
