The poem ‘’Where I’m from’’ by George Ella Lyon was the main driving point for my version of the poem and the small video I have created. In researching her work, I came across the way she created the poem and how she uses this exercise as an activity. In looking into other audio poems, I watched a short interview from Albert Maysles that stated how important life experiences can shape a creative mind and how it can affect how a story is written. I took apart experiences and certain aspects of how I grew up and how my hobbies helped shape my personality and how much they have evolved as I have grown. I decided to portray this through the video by making the photos contrast between shots, e.g. Photo of me when I was younger, flip open to photo of me near the end of high school.
