Project 2-Summarize.

For this project, I choose to do topic 2, which is:
Create and structure a photographic tour by combining geotagged photographs onFlickr with Google Earth/Maps. Consider narrative in the context of physical location7and the delivery medium. Ensure that all content used is licensed appropriately andattributed accordingly.

Here is my final work→His Story. Her Story
Hope everybody will like it.

The reason I choose this topic is really simple, because I always love to work with pictures and as I mentioned in the blog post before, I use to love write stories, especially the story about myself. But I have no chance to do that.

Before I start doing this project, I had look at the website that shows us some really good stories.
It's "We Tell Stories" my basic idea was come from one of the way that they use to tll the story <The 21 Steps> they use google map as the tool of showing the process of the story. For me, it is much more easy to go on with step my step.
So I just try to use Google map to do that.
At the beginning of the project, I try to do what they have done with <The 21 Steps> but it's really hard for me to do things as good as they did, such as when you read the story, from one place to another, It will have a line go through the map and take you to the next place. I try to do that but could not even know how to make the line moving.
But later on, after I found out that I can't do that by simply use the tools that google map provide to us to use. I give up that part, just simply use the link and other easy way of showing my story.

During the processing of the project, I feel good, I really enjoy doing all these things, for example, choose the photos that I need to use. PS the cover picture of the story. and so on.
I was a reader when I did that, as well as author. I kind of enjoy recollected all the pieces from last year.
Really a good way to review and to make myself remember those things.

I am quite happy with the final piece of my work.
Hopefully other people who looked at this will like it as well.
