Evidence Definition




Dictionary Definition of Evidence: The available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.

Describing Words: Proof, Signify, Show, Reveal, Witness

My Own Definition: Evidence is the available proof that something has occurred to lead to something else.



The first photograph depicts the evidence that weather, specifically rain, has taken place within recent times. This is evidence, for the raindrops have stained the window in a manner that suggests that a particular weather has indeed taken place. Weather is a good topic for 'evidence' due to the fact that there are many forms of it, and it's effects on the environment around us can also be taken as evidence.



The second photograph shows the evidence of smoking, and through which, possibly addiction. This is due to the fact that the photograph is clearly focused on the stomped-on cigarette on the floor. Evidence of smoking is shown here due to the fact that it is what is left after someone has had a 
cigarette.

The third photograph depicts the evidence of damage. This piano has clearly been damaged by someone, either out of severe over-use or violent action. This can be seen as evidence due to the scratches, out of place keys and broken parts of the instrument. Evidence of violence could also be said to be shown here.

The final photograph depicts the evidence of littering, alternatively leading up to the evidence of crime. A natural environment can be seen with an empty, unneeded packet on the floor in the middle of it. Evidence of crime is shown here due to the fact that we can immediately identify littering as a crime, and it is very clearly portrayed in the photograph.
