My story theme is friendship.
It is a story surrounding the conflict between two friends fighting over a book that they were initially reluctant to share.
The sequence of photos I took was clear and able to portray the simple actions carried out by the characters. I hope that the photos are able to evoke empathy and relatability to the viewers that have been in a similar situation with their friends.

I have learned about the importance of composition and aesthetic elements while taking photos to portray a message of emotion in a story sequence. A problem that I faced was that I started with a thematic not knowing much about how to progress it. I was able to cover the challenge of being stuck by changing my story to a non-fiction one. I was able to use the remaining time I have to salvage the work I'd done so far to create a finished story.

Now that I have actually visited the place, bras basah is not as run down and gloomy as seen in the images and photos I've seen online. the place is very open with many gaps and spaces for the natural lights to enter the vicinity.

bras basah complex is a place well known for their bookstores selling assessment material, and its true because there were a few big outlets that cater to that material.

other than that, there were many other shops and stores that sold art supplies, printing services and even vintage art, like paintings and frames. I also noticed that there was a Swee Heng café that many business men and women visit. I saw quite the number of elderly men and women just sitting down on the benches with a coffee or a drink or just taking a nap at the peaceful area

Bras basah was not a run down complex building as I expected but was quite a lively space to my surprise. Many people old and young visit the place for material or just to chat and sit in the space with a coffee.

1. Select an artefact, activity, place or practice. Look for what captures your attention or intrigues you or arouses a personal memory.

Ensure you have photo documentation of your selection.

- While at the museum, I only expected artefacts and things that were vintage or rare from the past times. It was a surprise to me that I saw an English exercise book on display.

2.What resonates with you or arouses a response or triggers a memory?

- It reminds me of the times as a young girl, where my mother would bring me to those old bookshops that sold almost every stationary and cheap toys . We would also shop for exercise books that I needed for primary school.

3.Where can we find or associate in today's context?

- old-fashioned bookstores are closing down other than major bookstores like Poplar or Kinokuniya because not many people visit them and prefer to buy new books online like on Amazon or PacificBookstores for school books.
