Diverse Tales of Gratitude: Thanksgiving Across America

Have you ever spent Thanksgiving away from home, reflecting on loss, or creating new memories? This Thanksgiving I spent with my Auntie Ava’s family due to me being from the West Coast. With Thanksgiving break and Christmas break being a week apart it doesn’t make sense to spend money on plane trips.

“A picture may be worth a thousand words, but well-chosen words will take you where pictures never can,” said Penina Sharon. A picture can be simple, but the words chosen can sometimes take a viewer far beyond what they could imagine. For example, sometimes the meaning of a photograph is only occasionally evident, and when a person explains its purpose, it will take the audience on a journey of the piece. The journey includes the process of the photograph. Before you get to going to take the viewer on a journey, there is an art to capturing the perfect picture.
