While browsing though an office supply catalogue at work today in search of the perfect type stand for the new receptionist, I came across a page full of "motivational posters." If my company ever orders any of these, I'm pretty sure I'm quitting my job. Here is an example:
"Goals: There is no end to the amount of things you can accomplish."
As much as I love porpoises at sunset, I don't think that poster would motivate me to do anything. Except quit.

Not your fault, but that picture has nothing to do with goals. I don't know if you know Karen Graffeo (Art/Photgraphy Prof @ Montevallo), but she said that posters like that always made her so upset because it was as if someone was forcing you to think or feel a certain way about the subject. When I see flipper hopping in the light of a sunset, goals just don't come to mind. Seafood…maybe. Goals…I guess only if they have to do with seafood.
i swear amanda, your blog gets funnier with each post. but you know, we make fun of those kinds of photos, posters, etc., and i hardly think they qualify as art but if i was there and i actually took a picture like that, i think i might be pretty excited. i might even want it published.
that poster makes me feel pukish.
but the ocean has always scared me a little bit.
