If I were to ask you what your alma mater looks like, you could tell me. You might now choose the obvious details that outsiders would choose; you are not an outsider. You know the inside scoop, the hidden places. The spots that make the school.
I wanted to include a photo in each graduation announcement that Taylor sent out to his friends and family. This is an area called the cave.. it is a back walkway between buildings at his school. I never knew this existed, but then again, I didn't attend school here.. I think the picture captured an artsy feel but it's not the picture I chose to include because you cannot see Taylor face.
This is one of a group of large rocks at the bottom of the parking lot. Again, I never knew these existed as an outsider to his school. It was our first stop. This is Taylor's school... he knew where to go for cool shots. This is great and feels very much like Taylor, but I didn't choose it either because you can't see his face well.
This is in front of Taylor's school. It's the pickup area. This I knew. I've walked through these doors for school programs, meetings, to sign him out. You can see his face. I did include this in the announcement along with several other shots. I finally decided that one picture wasn't enough.
Think about your house, your church, or your school.. Where are the special places that memories live that an outsider wouldn't know about?
