Picture Assignment 1 - Sister Missionaries





In a world that likes to point out how backward the Latter-day Saint faith is, I feel that my picture serves as a reminder that women have always shared equally important responsibilities in the work of The Lord. In this picture taken at Temple Square, I tried to capture the ability and talents of two sister missionaries spreading the Gospel message. 
My reasoning behind turning this photo into a black and white one comes from a desire of creating a sense of equality between the male and female audience. Because we are all valuable in the eyes of God. There are other important key facts about this picture, but I know my viewers are smart and will point out the other inherent messages within it. I look forward to your comments.
