Types of Visual Gazing

For visual rhetoric we use gazing to help people see what we see, and  to help them make a connection with the mesesage we are trying to convey. When we write using visual rhetoric, we are describing to the reader what we see, and what we feel. We tell them of our objectives, and we explain what is going on. We use pathos to appeal to their emotion, logos to appeal to a persons logic, and ethos to describe the character.

There are many forms of gazing that we use in everyday life, and they are:
Familial Gazes- It can be what is important to us, what we remember from our childhood, or what we will cherish in our minds for the rest of our life.
Consumer Gazes- When we go shopping people try to appeal to us so that we can buy their product. They display them so that the item seems irresistable, or their gimmicks and jingles get stuck in our heads.
National Gazes- The icons that correlate with our country such as the American flag, or the Bald Eagle. They always make us think of the U.S.
Traveling Gazes- These are images brought to our memory and we have either been there, or would like to go there.
Cultural Gazes- Are different cultures and how they interact with the world that makes you remember them. How you were brought up on a certain tradition will always reflect your cultural gaze.
No matter which gaze we use they are all familiar to us in one way or another because they help us visualize our most intimate and happy moments.

I would always associate this as a picture of home, because of the mountains, and the snow. It is both familial to me because of the mountains, yet it is also a traveling gaze because it is a landmark that I recognize.
