Personal Essay Photos

I'm hoping to re-genre my personal essay. My personal essay was about traveling and the impact it has on me. Specifically, the impact seeing the Normandy D-Day beaches had on me. My plan is to dramatize that essay using a photographic essay. I have lots of photos from my trip there. I'm hoping to display some of my photos next to old photos of the beaches. Maybe displayed next to photos on the actual day of the invasion and photos of the aftermath of the invasion. I plan on including a few quotes from maybe my actual essay but also a variety of other quotes.  I'm going to try and find quotes from the days leading up to D-Day and the days right after, maybe some Churchill and Eisenhower quotes.   We'll see how this goes. I love photography so I'm excited to work with some older photos. But, most importantly, I will try my best to be respectful of this topic and all it means. Visiting the beaches impacted me deeply and I want to highlight that while giving honor where it is due. Hopefully I can compile a photographic essay that accomplishes these goals. I'm excited to get to work.
