This photographic story follows the morning breakfast routine of a local French family in Loches.  I felt as if this story is relatable to many people as breakfast is a simple, everyday routine that most people do in the morning.  I used an iPhone 5s camera to capture these images and they have not been edited as when I tried to fix the brightness, the photo became really flat, so I decided to just not do it.  In the future, I wish to be able to tell a more inspirational story through a photograph, like Alfred Eisenstaedt and his photograph of the couple kissing in Times Square, which is my favourite photograph.

For this story situated in Hong Kong, it follows a woman going to a cafe for a cup of coffee.  I wanted to document this story as I felt that it was one of the simple pleasures of life, relaxing, eating a chocolate croissant with a cappuccino.  This is what made it so interesting to me; that it was simple and ordinary, and relatable.  I used an iPhone 5s camera to capture these photographs, and I have not made any edits to them as I felt as if there was really no need to do so.  For the future, I would love to be able to take more of these photos of everyday life, and create a collection filled with them.

France Story Backup 

This was my one of my choices for the photo stories that I took in France.  However, I decided to pick the other one as my final.

Hong Kong Story Backup

This was my backup photo story in Hong Kong just in case my first one did not work out the way I wanted it to.  It ended up working out.
