Interesting stories exist everywhere, and even a quiet, circumscribed life has its share of drama. This Picture is a personal project that uses the snapshot as a way to elicit stories from people. The snapshot serves as a window into a life. The scene it depicts may appear straightforward to an observer, but behind it there’s a world of meaning.

In the year or so that I worked on This Picture, I produced a total of ten videos — including videography, editing, and background music — and built a temporary website for the project.
