Purpose
Statement
My motivation
for doing this particular photo essay is to appreciate the world around me and
to inspire my audience to do the same. My pictures of a winter day in late
January are what I came across as I walked near my house and around my
neighborhood. So many people don’t appreciate the beauty of nature and what it
creates around us every day. Winter is especially taken for granted because
people focus so much of their attention on the bitter cold that comes with the
season. But, if we can appreciate the true and real beauty of a tree covered in
a new layer of clean white snow than we can start to enjoy this season.
My audience
will consist of young, technology-focused young adults (18-22) who would rather
spend their time inside than taking a walk in the freezing cold. Some more characteristics being a mix of males
and females who are in the middle of their college education and excited to
learn more. At the time my photo essay is communicated, my audience will most
likely be feeling the strain winter leaves on our bodies, our moods, and our
days. My hope is to help them see the beauty around them every day and for them
to leave my presentation feeling rejuvenated and appreciative of the nature
that surrounds them.
My context will
include a time and place. The time will be during the day so people will be
able to leave and see everything I talked about in the light of day. It will
take place at a time where my audience will be open to new thought and growth.
My ideas will be expressed in a setting where people are open to comment and
speak up about how they perceive it. A small group setting would be ideal so
that everyone could express their thoughts. Some of the pictures I will include
will be of a much larger area and will help to create a feeling of having more
space. The time and place will work together to create a comfortable setting
where people feel safe to speak up. I hope that the audience will perceive the
context of where we are, when we communicate, and the material I will cover in
an open-hearted and open-minded fashion.
