Digital Photography & Social Media I have always used some sort of social media platform and digital photography. I know I am not the only person in the world to say that! I have always used social media as an outlet. What I mean by that is social media is a platform where I can express my emotions toward others freely. I can decide what I show the world about my life and what I don't. It would be easy to say that everybody that takes pictures is “photogenic” or “Eye Candy” when they show you what they want you to see. The way My Family and I use a social media platform on a daily basis to send each other pictures or videos of each other's experiences that we recorded on a camera or to share other peoples videos that we saw and enjoyed. My experiences are mediated through both a cell phone and a digital camera. Sometimes I want to feel nostalgic and use a camera to take pictures. I like to use a polaroid camera when I take the pictures because I feel as if they can make the photo more realistic in a way. I have an album in my photos labeled “Extra” because I like to record everything I am doing so I can watch and reminisce about the good times I had at that moment. Every time I go on a vacation I turn into a vlogger and will record everything down to the food we eat! The first thing that I recall after an experience is the setting and how it made me feel. I tend to record videos for a day in the future where a few of the memories slipped away from me.
