This photo essay came to be because I had not read the requirements on our journalism assignment correctly right before reading week. I had written a story, but not in the correct format. So, I hurriedly re-wrote it, but in the correct form. I thought I was in the clear as I was about to print it off to hand it in and still had one minute remaining. Well, I accidentally printed it to the wrong room and didn't realize it at first. Sooo, here I ran out of the classroom, barged into a class (while they were still in session), grabbed my article and handed it in, less than 30 seconds after the due time... Ugh, frustrating.
Nevertheless, I was tasked to create a photo essay of my choosing. I chose to go to The Forks for Family Day, as there are great chances to get wicked shots, of people. It was a fun time, but a cold time. I took many photos, some good, some bad, some "I thought it was good, buuut turns out it was bad".
Well, here it is, my photo essay of The Forks and Family Day. Enjoy!
