Through PhotoVoice, Buffalo County Community Partners helps area youth develop a means of creative self-expression and constructive communication through photography.
Participants learn about the expressive power of the photographs they take of family, school and community life. They exchange ideas inspired by their photographs with their peers, school board members, city council members and other artists.
Each student selects their best photographs for exhibition and adds captions to communicate their own thoughts and feelings about their photos.
By exchanging ideas through photography, participants learn about their world, about each other and about themselves. What do the PhotoVoice photos say to you?
All photos on this web page were taken by PhotoVoice participants.
2017-2018 PhotoVoice Images
Man’s attempt to copy nature
Live in harmony for we are all connected
Blurring out the beauty of nature
Time doesn’t matter when you have love
Life has made me weak, but im still standing
Fall into a different world
Focus on the beauty in things
Life can be sweet
Love should be as easy as black and white.
Memories loved memories lost
The sun will rise and we shall try again
There’s always someone looking up to you
Even the realest things can seem fake
Find the brightness in every dark situation
Happiness is like a skittle- it’s little but it’s there
Life is beautiful even through the mess
When life goes down, look up to the man upstairs
Always take a second look…. this is a rug
A lot of little details create a big picture
Be like a tree. Stand tall
Home isn’t always a house
Screaming is easier on paper
Searching for a bright spot
It’s ok to be different
Boundaries are there for a reason- this is a wall
Here comes the sun…
One bad decision leads to another
The aftermath of one person’s impact on mother nature
The ribbons of natural beauty
The strongest emotion is not always obvious
Life in a divided state
Some of our steps in life are bigger than otehrs
We are all actors in this play called life
Your life isn’t a film, don’t end it
Always carry adventure with you
I’m only good when there is food included
It’s the smallest thing that matter
Love is an open field
Metamorphisis on wheels
Sometimes the signs are right in front of you
The illusions of every day life
I hope my life is a song people will want to listen to
Music is power
My light is undeniable
My thoughts are always flying
Sometimes life needs a dash of color
True friends take you higher than others
There is beauty where you least expect
Notice the unnoticable
Even though your sun is setting someone else’s is rising #fire
