Posting reviews, adding places, or correcting information might also be interesting but the most interesting thing I’ve done as a local guide is uploading photos which represent the place. Various photos can represent the place. It can be picture of architecture, how building looks, table, or food. But what people most want to know about the place and what business owners want to show might be the most important and best to represent the place. Some place had chosen my photo as their representative photo. My photo being representative means I found essential points which people want to know and business owners want to show. Have a look at photos chosen as a representative photo and how I become global.
3 examples can be summarized with this words.
1. main menu
2. main activity
3. how people feel at that place
This lamb skewers is the main menu of this restaurant. It serves various foods and drinks but people go to this place due to lamb skewers. I took many photos of lamb skewers but others are shown only few hundreds and this first representative photo was viewed more than 10 thousands. Among hundreds of pictures, my picture was chosen and I’m so proud of myself.
You can enjoy screen baseball at here! Baseball is a main activity in this place. After drinking me and my cousins like to come here and play baseball. We usually cannot take photo cause we are all drunk but especially this day my boyfriend was here together. He is a heavy drinker so he could take picture of me. What would people be curious about this place? Playing baseball. This surely can represent this place. Here also sells beer and have television provided but what business owner wants to show would be all included in my picture.
This is my first photo which become representative photo. This bar is place where people enjoy drinking and can have some drink with strangers. Each table has its unique system helps people have communicate and have fun together. 05.Aug.2019 could be common day of my boring life but this photo makes it special. 8/5 is my friend’s birthday and every time I see this picture I feel my special memory is shared globally and happy that this photo is representing this bar. The photo doesn’t include special food, activity, building or even face but two hands showing its thumbs up make this place seems so exciting. I can’t remember what happened that night but I regularly look at this photo and imagine how happy I was that day.
This examples show how I find points business owners and people think important. Trying to take better photo and uploading and expecting it to become a representative photo is interesting. I’m so happy that my photos become global through local guide and thanks to other local guides who are also composing this world map. I hope to see all at Connect 2020! See ya:)
