Well, honestly, not much. She tries to keep as organized as possible and in order to stay organized she tries to only carry with her what she absolutely finds necessary. The pen, pencil, and white out is especially important to her. She alway’s is taking notes and jotting down ideas and is a bit of a perfectionist so if she makes a mistake she needs to be able to correct it. More recently however she’s fallen sick. She’s had an upset stomach and a runny nose so she’s taken to carrying around famotidine and tissues. Her runny nose leaves her face chapped so she’s also been carrying around Chapstick to minimize the pain that comes with a chapped face. She carries an apple in hopes that it will remind her to eat, yet night after night she comes home without so much as glancing at the apple. The dime? It’s merely change from an earlier purchase. She’ll put it away as soon as she gets home.

Here’s the required What’s in My Bag Visual Assignment for three stars. This I felt like was one of my weaker photographs but I think the storytelling came through more so than any of my other visual assignments. I wanted to emphasize my character’s minimalist tendencies while also telling the story of how she fell ill. The dime was more of a quirk because we all sometimes end up with something strange in our bag. I began the assignment by relating to the cough I’ve had for the past week and used that to tell a story. I then thought of what would normally be in Isabelle Franklin’s bag. Finally, I was really just trying to complete the square and found a dime which could have it’s own little side story.
