Show how you feel about Wal-mart?

[wolf_Q]

I need help. In my photography class we have an assignment to take a roll of film with all sorts of different subjects/types of shots etc. One of them is to "Show how you feel about Wal-mart." I can't think of any way to show that in a photograph, any ideas?

I don't even know how I "feel" about wal-mart, to me it's just a store...I do shop there sometimes and I have a couple of friends who work there...I don't love it or hate it.

I love going to Wal-Mart! They have everything there! It is one of my favorite supermarkets/stores. They have comfortable clothes that are cheap at the same time. They have a place for everyone too. Like when we go as a family, I go to the pet section, brothers go the electronics section, step-dad goes to the hunting etc. section and my mom goes to clothes. It is a store that can please about everyone's needs.

Now the thing I don't like, they don't take care of their fish! We have complained before, but they haven't done anything. Their regular tanks have too many fish in one tank, there are dead fish floating around and they were just nasty. And don't get me started on those poor little bettas. Their cups have hardly any water. It was terrible!

All around 6/10 stars.

Thats one weird assignment lol.

Maybe you can take a picture of one of your friends that works there smiling at the camera with that little smiley face guy..lol I dunno..

Maybe giving him a Hi five lol.

Or.....take a photo of people walking into the store but make sure you can see the sign....

Good luck.

(No not all is good about wal-mart...maybe show the hating side..the dead fish and small betta bowls take a pic of that).

Pretend you hate it and put some of their stuff on the ground with Walmart tags and make it look trashy! lol

Well, however you feel about Walmart personally, they do pay rather low wages and they have a tendency to replace other businesses in the area...

I went to college in Cedar Falls, IA, where they moved the regular Walmart and built a Super-Walmart (despite local residents objecting). The building where the old Walmart stood has been vacant for several years, it's a big eye sore but Walmart really couldn't care less because they have plenty of customers at the new one... just trying to give you an idea. If it were my project, I would photograph the old building and the new one and highlight the fact that Walmart leaves a trail of devastation behind them...haha, ok, dramatic, I know.

I meant do it at home. Some people don't like Walmart, and for a photographer, that's one of the ways possible that they could express their dislike for it.

Personally, I like Walmart, though.. I'm not sure how I would express that through a photo either, though! Good luck!

Maybe you could take pictures of someone driving around the parking lot, looking for a parking space Is it ever easy to find a place that's not 2 miles from the door? Also...maybe a picture of their 50 checkout lanes, with 5 of them actually open I can't live without Wal-Mart for the low prices but the store sometimes irritates me. No matter how irritating, however, they can always count me in as a customer
Good luck with your assignment Amy. That's a pretty clever instructor you have to come up with something like that.

I'll never shop at Wal-Mart if I can help it. Lower prices by a few dollars isn't worth it for the way they get it.

Love WalMart! Want me to take a pic of the pretty yarn I bought there last night? I made the mistake of going in the craft section. Also found a Christmas rubber stamp and some doggie things for scrapbooking.

If you think of it as "just a store" then your photo should reflect those feelings.

If you cannot decide how you feel about Wal*Mart - then that's perfect! Show the good - people looking happy with a cart full of stuff, children playing with toys in that department, someone looking happily at a Sale rack, happy elder working as a greeter ... and then the not-so-good side. That could be tired-looking cashiers, long lines, "help wanted" signs, trash in parking lot, or messy shelves in store, unhappy-looking people shopping, etc.

If you don't like the way they treat fish you can take a picture of the box or plastic baggies that says "For Dead fish" on it that they usually have laying around in the fish section. Will they even allow you to take pictures in the store?

[luvofallhorses]

after I went there tonight.... I hate wal-mart.

[zippy-kat]

Too bad you can't find a happy face and a sad face together (kinda like the theater masks)... that would show "mixed" pretty well, wouldn't it?

You could do a photo of Wal-Mart's website... (the only way I *like* to shop it lol).

Or you could totally rebel and photograph Target! Oh! Do the Smiley face with the Target sign on him... wait... are you allowed to manipulate the image? lol

I don't really know what would show indifference. Hmm... *thinks*
