1. I think the most powerful image from the article is the first image shown, In the Army now, because they usually put the best image first to tell you what the story will be about.
2. The images work together to tell a story because the go in order of the events that happened and almost give you that feeling of being there yourself.
3. The captions enhance the photographs because they give more information then the story itself and puts more of that imagery into place than what the story says.
4. Ian Fisher decided to enlist in the army at the age of 17 after he heard that violence was spiking in Iraq. After graduating from high school, he visits the Army recruiting office to talk to Sgt. Joseph Camarillo who has served in Iraq. His friends and family through him a going party and he gets his medical exam from the Army and leaves for the Army. Soon after arriving to the Army they start basic training and learns saluting positions and using weapons. During September they get ready for the Turning Blue ceremony and get their assignment afterwards. In March he joins a new group with Spec. Andrew Smith and Spec. Ryon Rich. Later on some soldiers think that Fisher is going AWOL from always going home every weekend and think that he should stay there. But ends up returning and still being a part of the Army. Fisher gets in trouble for coming back late from a home visit and has a drug problem too. During September of 2008 Fisher is deployed to Iraq. About one year later Fisher returns home to a celebration.
5. Most of the verbs in the photos are past tense.
6. There are on average about 3 sentences for a caption in this article.
7. Most of the first sentences in the story give you move of that background information that you need to understand more of the photo.
8. Most of the second sentences in the story give you information about is happening in the photo at that moment.
9. Most of the captions that do have a third sentence are usually a quote from Fisher or someone who helps him in a way in the photo.
10. Yes there are some captions that have a quote.
11. There are a couple of captions that have four sentences.
12. I think that you can tell a story with just photographs and captions because, we read mainly the captions to tell us what is happening because most of the captions are in order of how these events happened.
13. We don't write stories as photos and captions because they are only good for some stories while other stories can't really be told with captions and photo, but use photo to show you a visual.
