from the ground up

 I love how a picture can tell a story.  When I'm photographing something, I make a point to photograph not just the people, but those things that will help tell the story.   Last Sunday was my son's drumline competition and as I walked around getting photos from all angles, I made a point to shoot from the ground up.  Out of all of my photos from that shoot, this is my favorite.  To me, this photo epitomizes the whole day. Be it a pair of dancing shoes, sock encased baby feet or an intimate moment between a bride and groom, the story is all right there, no faces needed. 

Today, share with us your photos of an object or something other than a face that tells a story.  We'd love to see them.

I'm not sure what story this feather tells, hopefully it wasn't due to impact ;) But I love what it says about perspective

I try to regularly lower my camera to see what my feet are seeing ;)

Great post!
Ever think about the fact that every beach pebble has a story?

I love your picture from it's unique perspective! Sometimes I like to put the camera on the ground and see what I get.
