Car Raid: Story

    On Saturday May 13, 2016 I sat down with Chandler Linseisen in her car. I sat in the car with her to see what she did as a normal day and found out more about her than I knew, through that interview. 
     Chandler is an 11th grader at Ann Richard's. She has had her license for a bout a year; and in this story we will see what she uses that car for. 
     She has a brown, four-door Ford-F-150. We asked her why she had that model (leather seats and all). "I have a Ford because my Dad had it before me and then it eventually became mine," she said, "the leather is what the company designed them to be." 
     I then asked her what she mostly used her car for and she said, "I use my car to drive me places." 
She, on average, spends about an hour in the car each day. 
      When I entered the car I noticed that it was very messy. I had to infer that doesn't clean it very much. "I clean my car maybe once a month," Linseisen said. To find out how tidy she really am I asked how often she cleans her room. "I clean my room maybe once every few months, basically whenever it gets too dirty to handle," Linseisen replied, "My room is basically a second room to me."  She said that her car was dirty because she "hadn't cleaned it out in a while." 
     I also noticed that the back seats were covered with her homework and school activities. I saw volleyball gear in the back and wanted to know why. "I play volleyball and it's the stuff I need to play with," Linseisen said.  
    There were a lot of bidders and papers in the back. Yet she said " I don't really do homework in the car," and "I carry my homework and school work in the car with me for say access." 
     She had the radio set to some of my least favorite radio stations. I asked her why she listened to them. "They seem to be there radio stations that my friends listen to," Linseisen said, unfortunately her truck doesn't allow her to listen to her own music from her iPod. 
     I asked her what she thought her friends thought about her having her own car, "They think that I am a lot more mobile and think that I am their personal taxi driver, "Linseisen said, " I like that I have the freedom to go wherever I want whenever I want." 

   Linseisen is a very good driver and she hasn't gotten into a crash before, and she would like to keep it that way for another year of great driving.

  1. I saw that spacing was an issue; if you wanted to have each frame spaced out evenly. 
  2. I think that the are around the portables would be good because you could use the portable walls as a kind of backdrop for your subject and you could get some good scenery in the background. 
  3. Using many different things your could create a word wall in with you have all your emotions. You could also be doing an action that involves step-by-step movement and capture it from start to finish. 
  4. Anything that will contrast with part of the image, if it is the background, the sky or even the subjects themselves.
