Location-Based Social Media

My blog’s focus intersects with social media and / or location-based narratives because usually after I take photos at one of our destinations I either post the one I like the most on Facebook and Instagram so that friends and family can see or comment I like to see what other people post to see where cool places are around the area so its really nice when people post locations so that other people can enjoy nature and wildlife.

It is nice and very easy to add a location on Facebook and Instagram because usually google maps is connected to the location as well so you can click on that and easily access the location and it is a good way to keep track of all the places you have been before or if you look back for a specific place social media keeps track.

As a backup to using social media I have a map that I have push pins in of all the towns that I have been too and each state is a different color and I hope to one day travel to each of the 50 states in my lifetime.
                             

Location-Based Narratives

My blog's focus intersects with social media and/or location-based narratives is going to be about traveling to different places in the United States. A good example of this is when I post to Facebook and use the "check-in" location. Another hard copy way I like to also do in more detail is putting push pins on a United States map with different colors for each state.

A good example to show the same kind of concept would be "The Silent History" story. Each place I go has its own unique story that I have to tell about what happened, what we did, what we seen, etc. This is also unique because it doesn't matter what order you view each photo in since it has its own story.

I love traveling and marking different places off my bucket list that I want to visit and I always take multiple photos one because I love photography and to share the memories with my family and friends and like they always say "every photo is worth a thousand words". 

Introduction

I am interested in a lot of different hobbies inside and outside so if I was to have a dream career I would say working/traveling around the world taking pictures for National Geographic or something very similar. I have even thought about being a photographer for a ski resort out west who would take pictures and interact with the skiers/snowboarders on the mountain and in the lodge.

My thoughts on digital media and writing are positive since most people have a smartphone and it is easier to access and word travels faster than ever before which is both good and bad in some cases. Majority of the society reads and learns from what is posted on the internet because the media is more accessible and more convenient than say going to the library.

For my three role models I chose include Tyler Hubbard from Florida Georgia Line, Sahen Skinner a snowmobile guide, and lady named Julie (pinkgemlife) from Instagram. I picked these three because Tyler Hubbard is an inspirational country artist and is always willing to help others. Sahen Skinner is an awesome guy who is down to earth and has his own website that is easy to use and has a nice overall design. Julie has an amazing Instagram page with posts of the beach, which is the main subject, and the sunsets that is just beautiful.
