Picture this, its a crisp afternoon on the last day of summer running around the yard playing hide and seek with your favorite little sister, in the midst of playing tag your mom yells out “Hey girls pose for a picture, let’s capture the last day of summer” and so you both stop in your tracks, you hoist your little sister up a bit and smile for the camera while breathing hard, sticky hair from the heat, and sweat dripping down your backs, “10 years from now you girls will look back at this moment and smile” says mom, as you put your sister down and continue to chase each other back and forth.
When I saw this image immediately it captured my attention. I chose more of an upbeat, light, jittery song because I feel that it encapsulates the innocence of the two sisters and the love they share between them. The music almost reminds me of music you hear as a kid when you watch informative children shows that would come on PBS Kids. The image reminded me of me and my own sister and the memories we would make every summer embarking on adventures and having the most fun ever just the two of us without a care in the world. I loved having those memories and sharing them with her but I sometimes wished that we would have taken more pictures while playing but I guess we were just in the moment. Either way this image reminds me of the lighthearted fun that I used to have with my own sister and I thought it would be nice to spread the love.
Hi Justyce! I love the photograph that you shared! It really captures the love and happiness between the two girls in the photograph. The music you chose is upbeat and very catchy! When paired together, they may seem odd at first, but after reading your post, I think they pair perfectly. Your post paints a very vivid picture of a summer day where this photo could have likely been taken. After reading your post, viewing the photo, and listing to the music, I feel like I could be walking down a neighborhood block watching this family playing outside, with music in the background, and taking this picture. Another approach you could have taken with this image is a more dark and sad song. This would give the photograph a more eerie and sad tone. I think that this photograph can be viewed many ways depending on the context it is given.
Hi Justyce, I really thought this photo was very adorable. I love how large it is and that the photographer did it in black and white. The music you chose is not quite what I was expecting but it was very nice and upbeat which really added to the picture as it is such a happy moment in the picture. I really liked the description you gave at the beginning as well. It gave nice background information for the picture…creating a lovely story behind the photo. I think any other upbeat audio would work with this picture but something like EDM would just be really weird. John mentioned above a dark or sad song but personally I think this image would be hard to change that tone of happiness if the audio changed.
