"Water is life's mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water."
-Albert Szent Gyorgyi, Noble Prize Winner
As High Point University went through its revitalization process during the last 5 years it is clear that the importance of water was understood. As stated by Albert Szent Gyorgi, water is the key to life . It can symbolize purity, renewal, transformation and motion. The fountains around campus involve all of this,. As an HPU student, I find these water features relaxing and calming. With this photo story, I intend to show the importance of the fountains around campus and how thy affect us as student.
I plan to shoot over the next week during different times of day and night. The sunrise and sunset reflecting on the water will relay the calming emotions that are experienced in person. I would also like to convey how High Point University uses the symbolism of these water features to inspire their students. One particular photo I intent to shoot will be a few students touching the water fountains behind the amphitheater. During the honor code ceremony, students are instructed to touch these water fountains during their first week of classes as a symbol of good luck. I want to capture the joy that freshmen feel during their first week on campus through my photo.
My working headline for my photo story is "Featuring Fountains".
