The Story Behind the Photograph

A picture really is worth a story, and more than one at that. Oftentimes, I take photographs of things that appeal to my “artistic” eye, such as this one I snapped while wandering the Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida. That is about as far as I get in the thought process when deciding to capture an image. Later, as I browse through my photos, a story might unfold for a particular shot, often my imagination embarking on a journey that takes me to an entirely different place. Having a little fun, I decided to tell the story, or at least the beginnings of a story, that this picture prompted as a “pictory,” placing the words on the photo itself.
