Scott Calhoun - "A Lake of Pure Sunshine"
Scott Calhoun's blog was surprisingly fun to read; his writing was personal, direct, yet held the specific imagery needed to paint a picture in my head. It did not feel like I was reading about his adventures, but instead I was listening to him as he told me about his experiences. Most of the time, I had no idea what he was talking about when he went into detail about the poppies, but I could still see them. His storytelling was enough to draw me in, even though initially I had no interest in poppy flowers or the location for the best pictures of them. The humor was definitely a plus, it drew me in and compelled me to continue reading.
The pictures he took did a great job of aiding his narrative, as well. He chose just the right image to help bring his words to life, while at the same time bringing the picture to life by his words. It was an interesting experience to read his writing!
