My Project

What started with some old cameras, transformed into this imaginative storytelling being captured on film. As the children were taking various pictures, we were sharing photos and telling the stories of each of these photos. This turned into multiple photos telling one story, which evolved into saving items to take pictures of to tell the same story again.

That is when we created Story Boxes.

Each box contains various items, to be used to tell the same story, in a different way, every time the box is opened. I knew I wanted a way to cherish these stories.

The most beautiful way to save these stories in photo form would be to gift every child a View Master Reel with their own photos to tell the same story, in a different way, every time the photos are looked at.
