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!

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.

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

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?

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

[cmayer31]

For some reason the line "It's just a store" made me think of a generic line of buildings all with various names on them, but all looking the same. Like a row of warehouse buildings with one of them having a wal-mart name on it, but not standing out. It's hard to explain...I almost picture a bland strip mall with one building having wal-mart on it...just another store in a line of many.

Also, be careful taking pictures in the store, some managers will freak out and most large companies have a corporate policy against taking pictures inside. Then again, I don't think anyone would notice a quick picture with a small camera.

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*

[Corinna]

If it's just a store how about a collage of major store fronts .

[sparks19]

I don't why people say walmart pays too low.

I used to work at walmart and I made MORE than minimum wage. i worked in fast food restaurants and BUSTED my hump everyday for less than I made to stand around at walmart and stock some shelves.

Walmart does not pay that low and they have everything you need in one place at a reasonable price.

i love Walmart except for how busy it is all the time

Perhaps you could use pictures depicting a few shoppers. That will show that you feel it is just a shopping center.
