“When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my favourite things and then I don't feel so bad”, a quote from one of my favourite movies of all time, The Sound of Music. My topic for the “All about me” shutterbug assignment is My Favourite Things. I have selected a few of my favourite things to show for my photo essay. The photos I have selected to take are; My Cat, The Beach, Sunset, Carrara Markets Flower Stall, McDonalds and My Family. I chose things because they are things that make me feel better in sad times just like the song from The Sound of Music. These particular things are what makes me happy when I am anxious and depressed. Dealing with these two things in particular is hard to see the light in things sometimes so having a cup of McDonalds and reading a book or going to the beach at sunset really helps me and gets me out of those dark and harsh times. I know that some of the photos that I have taken helps people dealing with the same thing. The photos I have selected are photos that are comforting and pleasing to me personally and make me feel confident and happy. Things like going to the beach, going to markets, watching the sun set, spending time with my cat, having fun with my family and eating McDonalds are things that I personally would do to feel comfortable in sad times.
