Sequencing a la Elliott Erwitt

Andy's post made me look at some of my photos w/ a fresh eye.
I am so busy trying to cull and put only the better version up for viewing that I had not considered the story in a sequence of shots. I started looking at some of my photos to see about any sequences I might have and how they told a story. It was hard to find at first, but once I started digging I really enjoyed myself. I am posting some from the archives but will make sure and keep this in mind when shooting.
Also I only have one street sequence worth posting, I seem to do most of my sequencing in that whole "slices of my life" thing. I think the sequencing is lacking but I find it encouraging that they do tell a story and some are somewhat funny-but I have a ways to go.

    Liz, the little ballerina photos are amazing! Especially #4 - Wonderful series, beautifully capturing kids at that stage.

    Thanks B.D.
    It is one of my favorite sets. I enjoyed looking at them in sequence--there is one shot missing though and that's when she took off her top as a last ditch effort to stop the show/torture :). It worked.

    Yes, your ballerina series is priceless! Last one looks like her head came off and she is trying to put it back on...

    The team shot is classic as it seems like every youth baseball team finishes a team shot by degenerating into a ruckus.
