For this assignment we took pictures from Bill Sullivan's Turnstile Photography Project and had to choose a picture and write a short story of this persons day whether it is what his day was like leading up to when this picture was taken, while the picture is being taken, or what happens right after this picture is taken, using only the props in the picture and their facial expressions.
George is a film director at a big time company in New York. Two days ago him and one of his coworkers were horsing around and George accidentally fell backwards and broke two of the company's film reels. But since George's boss was out of town this week he figured he had enough time to find and replace the two broken reels. So he thought instead of stressing out about this situation he could just relax and not worry too much about getting these reels because he had a few days before his boss got back. But then two days after this little incident he realized that he waited too long because it was already Friday morning and his boss would be back this afternoon. So George left his work to go find two more similar looking film reels. he went to three different stores and none of them had the white film reels like he needed. So finally the fourth store that he went to had identical film reels to the ones he broke at his work, so he bought the reels and was rushing to get to the subway so he could get back to his work and replace the reels before his boss gets back. As he was getting ready to go through the turnstile to get on the subway he looked down at his watch and realized he only had one hour before his boss got back and he knew it would take most of the time on the subway. So as he looks up from his watch he is worring about if he will be able to make it back to the office before his boss does.
I like how used the details from the picture. For example, when you were describing the "white flim reels", you didn't just say film reels. Or how the expression on his face helped you determine how he was worried about something. I like your story ;)
