Images can help make that experience more powerful because they help us connect better with our audience." (Reynolds)
There was a batch of storms that hit where I lived yesterday. Although not completely destructive, the wind and hail was enough for a person to take notice. My brother said it was horrible out when he came home from work and about how he had a hard time seeing to drive home.
After the storms were over, I had to go pick something up at the store, and noticed this on my driver side backseat door of my car. It was not attached to anything, just stuck by the force of the wind. Obviously, my brother could have said how bad the wind was until he was blue in the face, but until I saw this twig/leaves attached to my car, just from the power of the wind I took notice.
As the quote states, images always help explain something that others may not know the severity of because of not being there. A lot of times on fan forums I visit, someone will claim something about an actor or an actress, and the first comment is usually, "picture or it didn't happen." It was somewhat the case with my brother. Yes, I heard the thunderstorm, but it seemed like every other normal summer storm. Even though it was not the worse storm damage I have seen (I vacationed through a hurricane in Cape Cod) the twig on the side of my car got my attention.

It is amazing how much story can be contained within a single photograph! Nice work!
