IV. FIELD WORK OUTCOMES
A. PHOTOVOICE
Approximately 14 children who were all between the ages of 8-14 years old took part in this project. The
children were all given brief introductions and were instructed to only take pictures of the physical
environment and to pay attention to what was in the frame of the camera before they took the picture.
The youth were accompanied to various areas around the City of Nashua and were given the opportunity
to capture their perceptions of the areas. Some of the areas explored include the Nashua Public Library,
Main Street, Mines Falls Park, and others. On the way, they were asked to take pictures of things on the
route that made an impact on them either positively or that needed improvement. They also documented
exactly where they took each picture. The photos were analyzed by the group and each youth chose two
photos that they felt represented their perspectives. The youth wrote captions for each of the photos
chosen and typed them into the computer with the photos. Examples of the images are shown below
