My Media Week was a little more eventful than most. However
it was still thoroughly enjoyable.
On Friday I flew out to Vancouver in Canada to visit my brother up in
Whistler. This was very exciting for me as I haven’t seen him since August 21st
and we are very close.
My lack of smart phone made it a little more challenging to
accomplish parts of media week, such as the Instagram posts. Usually I’m not
big on posting on social media but I actually found it very enjoyable documenting
one of our days together.
I’m not really one to take photos of things I encounter and
rarely comment on beautiful scenery. Personally I think that your minds eye has
the best recollection. However I found that over the week I spent in the
beautiful mountains of Whistler and Backcomb, I found myself taking in my
surroundings a lot and appreciating the beautiful place I was lucky enough to
be. I thought to myself more than once, “Oooohh, this would make a lovely
picture”, which is very unlike me.
I think it is very nice capturing moments in our lives that
we have enjoyed so can relive them in the future. I think the creation of
stories and memories is very important and social media gives us this ability.
It also allows us to voice our opinions on topical matters and makes it much
easier for lesser voices to be heard. Thanks to Media Week I now have a lot
more photos and memories of my time in Whistler with my brother who I may not
see for another year.
