Do you like it when....

[Amber]

...people post a little story that goes with their photo or does that not matter to you?

Personally, I love a story. I am bored by pics with no stories. I think the story sometimes really helps make the photo.

What do you think?

[Tonya White]

I agree, even though I hardly ever put the story lol I should start ...

[Natalie Payne]

even if its not a great photo, the story that some people take the time to put there definately improves the overall image for me.

i love the little snippest of why someone chose "that" particualar photo for that day, and what it means to them, it just adds another dimension.

i also understand the need for sometimes not writing any description on some days, sometimes we just want to keep some stories private or too lazy to elaborate on some days.

http://365project.org/bernie/365/2010-05-09 is one 365er who elaborates so nicely on her images it just gives that extra dimension.

Wow natalie, thanks for linking me to that photographer. Neat stuff...very interesting.

[Glenys Hardy (Mrs Moose)]

Yes I like a good story. It also enhanses the Photo, if it is one that doesn't have a good description.

[Natalie Payne]

also it just occured to me why i write, its so that when i look back on my year i want to know what i was thinking/feeling on that day.

[Just Chris]

Well, you probably know that with me, a story is basically essential.

I like to include a story---it's part of my history to go with the picture

[Emma Lucy]

I worry about what I include with my photos, sometimes I think it's a little too open and there's always a bit of a risk with doing that on the net (I've been burned before!) but this project is all about documenting a year so I feel a little explanation about what's going in in the pic is needed.

[Autumn Eden]

I don't always include details for each shot but I do it fairly often. I think it adds but is not always necessary.

Since this site has folks from all over the world, a little history is a real plus when looking at the pictures. Here's someone who really enhances her pictures with local color: http://365project.org/hwy61/365/2010-05-01

i like a story :)

[Marcy]

I love the stories. I find that they often enhance my appreciation for the captured moment, and I also like when there are details about how the effect in the photo was achieved. I try to give a little context about my own photos, especially when the photo itself is not very interesting, but I am more documenting an event or object that was important to me.
