You're given one week to come up with no less than three ideas for a photographic narrative. Of the no less than three ideas you've chosen, you have to choose one. Over the span of 5.5 weeks, you will have to post 36 photos you've taken for a total of five assignments relating to that one idea you've chosen. Not only do you have to post 36 images each week for the assignment, you have to write at least one paragraph.
Let me tell you, I had one hell of a time coming up with three ideas for the a photographic narrative. I submitted three ideas, but I didn't feel that any of them were very strong. Then at the beginning of the week, I suddenly thought of an idea, something very personal, that I could use as my photographic narrative project. I e-mailed my instructor to see if it was okay that I switched my topic, and luckily he's really cool and easy going, and he said that it sounded good to him and to "go for it". I was so happy to be able to switch my topic because this one is, like I said before, personal. Also, it will give me something to look back on and really appreciate.
This first week's sequence of photos weren't as strong as I'd like, but I only had a few days to work with, rather than a whole week. But now I have some ideas "brewing" for the sequences in upcoming weeks, and I hope that I can pull them off! I am just going to have a hard time, I'm sure, for some things because I don't know how stores are going to feel when I bust out a camera and possibly a tripod. HA! But I am planning on going to stores on weekdays, during the day, so that the stores aren't too crowded and I'm not freaking people out and managers could possibly be a little bit more understanding about it. At least I hope that the managers will be more understanding. If not, oh well, call the cops because I've got a project to work on that's major! LOL.
I have kind of planned each week to be another "chapter" in this story, and it's a bit interesting. The one week, though, might be a bit difficult because of something that should be happening to me. Hopefully I will be able to pull through and handle it.
If you had to do a photographic narrative, what would you choose as your topic?!

Id probably do a photographic narrative on 3 things... Meeting my husband up to getting married, start to finish of my pregnancy with Justin(he is the only one I have pictures of from the beginning to the end) and start to finish of buying the house, decorating it from scratch and finishing it.
You'll do fine with whatever it is you have ahead of you. Look forward to reading me :)
