I think the audience in this picture is anyone who admires flowers or someone that is looking to cheer up their day. I took this photo for my wife and she loves roses, so it brought happiness to her day. If this photo was black and white, I do feel as if the audience would change. This would no longer bring the audience that admired the color photo. I think it would then represent depression or sadness and have the opposite effect. The title of the photo is "Sunday's Best" and yes I feel the title could change the perception of the audience. Sunday's are supposed to be relaxing and full of joy, so I believe that is what this picture represents.

Blog 1: Meme

This is the meme I created. This kind of tells a little bit of how my family and friends view what I do as well as nurses versus what I actually do. My family really think that respiratory therapist don't do direct patient care, so I thought a post of me doing desk work was funny. My wife also works as a CT tech and sometimes she feels as if I am hiding with co-workers playing video games. For some reason nurses have always thought that respiratory therapists are lazy until they need us, but this is how I feel they view us. My boss often thinks I should move mountains in order to complete the daily workload. I feel like I should always get to do the fun things like intubate patients all the time, however, 95% of my job is delivering aerosol treatments. I learned that I actually have an amazing career and a loving and caring family. Even though at times, I feel like they give me a hard time, they really do care about what I do. I also learned that as a respiratory therapist I should not want to intubate patients all the time because this means they are really ill. Overall, this was a fun exercise and I really learned the importance on how I view my profession as well as others.
