Rain makes everything beautiful

Some things fill your heart without trying

John 3:16

Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.

Sometimes the prettiest things in life are blurred out because they aren't the most important

God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also in trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.

A good friend is like a four leaf clover. Hard to find and lucky to have.

Jesus is the cement that holds us together.

Proposal: Photography Time with MK

With the right angle, light, and zoom, you’ll have the perfect picture.

Needs and Opportunities

Explain the problem you have noticed that needs to be solved with a project like yours. This is also your hook, so make sure you grab our attention. Most people don’t know how to take a really good picture. It doesn’t take that much skill and it’s really based on how you want it to look like. With the steps I give you, when you show your family what picture you took, they are going to be saying “wow” and “that’s so pretty”. Now that’s a reaction you want. The steps I give you are going to bring out the veins in the flowers and the cleanliness of a bright summer day.

Audience / Clients / Users

Explain who will benefit from your project. How will you be able to access them for an empathy interview? Anyone who wants to learn how to take good pictures.

Mentors

Who can help you with this project? Who will you need to contact and what will you ask them to commit to in helping you? My sister can help me, my cousin can help me. I really don’t need anyone to help me do this project.

Timeline

What is your monthly timeline for this project. I want to see a list of deliverables with deadlines. You may find that the timeline needs adjustment during the course of the year, which may be fine. Check in with me if that’s the case.

Product

What is the actual product you will show this spring. This project may be made of atoms or bits, but you must have something to show. I’m not interested seeing a bunch of great ideas at the end of the year. I want to see things. Portfolio of all the picture

Reality Check

I am looking for moonshots here, but even moonshots need budgets. What equipment are you going to need? What other capital expenditures do you anticipate, and how will you meet them?  I’m going to need a camera and a computer

Conclusion

Wrap it up. Why are you fired up about this project? Inspire us to support you, and give us a great reason to approve your project. I’m fired up about this project because I want to take really good pictures and I can learn from my accomplishments. I want to teach other people how to take good picture.

The rain will rain down, but all you gotta do is let them roll off your petals.
