Comments from the Augustana PhotoVoice Event

I really love how this creates a sense of personal experience!

As farmers water is very important and water paths are very noted especially when the creek is dry or stopped by development.

I didn't see any direct message in the photos (what do you want me to learn?). The pictures were amazing!

Awesome pictures. One shows just how low the water table is.

This was a very interesting display, provoked a lot of discussion. I would love to meet more of the people.

It's nice to see intimiate photos of our environment. Very beautiful, makes us appreciate it more.

Showing the people and kids how animals interact with the environment - reminds you of its importance.

The use of photographs makes it much more engaging, rather than relying on text.

It was nice to wee the different perspectives, through all the neat pictures throughout the season. "Water," "Battle River Valley," and "Grouse Loop" were all neat.

Would be nice if the photographers could be at the display. Makes the event more significant and personal.

Strongest reaction: kids playing in Stoney Creek - inspired discussion about outdoor play

Good pics :)

It makes people stop and learn something most probably don't know about.

The photos are exquisite... really bring it home how important it is to protect our watersheds.

Looking at all the pictures of Stoney Creek made me want to put on my rubber boots and go exploring! Who knew that all these photographed places are so close?

The pamphlet (FAQ sheet) was the most informative part. Good idea to capture people's attention with real life photos. It makes you think about the positive and negative effects we are having on the watershed.

Most of these pictures represent the beauty we have in our backyard. These pictures are perfect examples of why it is so important to preserve our envrionment.

I really enjoyed talking to Bettina about the project and getting her perspective of the project and of the process. Thank you!

I find this exhibition to be an excellent way to share storeis about such an important source of water. Thank you. I would love to see a project to take place in the schools and seniors centres. It would be remarkable to see the differences in perceptions. It would be lovely to go beyond and have an opportunity for elders and youth to share their stories with one another. Increasing understanding and decreasing barriers.

The photos are beautiful and an amazing way to get your point across.

What a great idea to draw people into learning about a subject by showing them beautiful pics of a place they may not be informed about! (the cookies help too!!)

The captions of the photos were really great. And great pictures.
