Storytelling, Ethics and Workflow in Documentary Photography
Ted talk
1. Dreams
What is the first thing you think of when you see this word? Dreams… For me I think about passing that Zelda game or getting that unusual hat or
something like that. A much stronger dream, however was getting that perfect career.
2. Doctor Story
Lets talk about a dream that everyone can actually relate to.
-I wasn’t passionate enough to study so much for it.
4. You see, this all changed when I moved from the USA to Peru, but let’s talk a little about how I felt with the move, yea lets go on a trip back in time.
5. Let’s be honest here, I’ve never been the most outgoing person and I’m pretty shy. I became even more shy when I moved out of the country for the first
time. I had it difficult. Oral presentations weren’t my thing, and I’d always get nervous and sweat…probably like right now.

7. I struggled a bit with education and I had to come to a decision on what my definite career would be and even what colleges I would go to…all on one
sheet of paper. I found it difficult with my Doctor dream destroyed. What am I gonna do in the future?
8. Then I discovered the Innovation Academy (IA) This program gave you more freedom to pursue passions and explore new ones. I didn’t want to write tons
of essays in the IB and I knew I wouldn’t like it.
9. What things have changed me?
-Break the shyness and I started to express more ideas to all my peers
-Seeking for solutions, ideas, and passions. (Doctor)
-My head is a litte more clear now
-Ive learned a little more about myself
10. I like pepsi and it seemed awesome to work for them

14. What I’m trying to get at here is that I’ve learned so much about myself. Before I had no clue who I was and what I wanted to do. My solution was to
explore and get out of my comfort zone and I discovered who I was in the IA with experience. Not that I know myself more, I know that there is so many
dreams/passions yet to explore.
15. If any of you in this auditorium have ever had a dream of any kind….like beating a game…becoming the next big music producer…or even becoming a
doctor…and all of a sudden the dream wasn’t all you thought it to be….
Thank you..
16. Keep looking…..there are many doors that are ready to be opened…all you need to do is explore…and start experiencing new things…even the
unexpected ones…
