Great Black and White Photographers Part 3


Photo 1

                                                                            Photo 2

1. My photographer was good at capturing emotions, setting a tone for his photos and he captured his subjects in his photos well. I chose these photos because the photos had a clear subject with meaning. I also chose these photos because even though they are black and white I can see the colors and the contrast of them.

       Photo 1: In this photo, I see a tall and slender man who is focused on something above. I can see the bright, clean and shining suit the man is wearing. He looks very serious and sleek. There are people in the background who are selling newspapers. I predict he is looking up at something that has much meaning. In the photo, I can smell the smokey city streets and the fresh scent of the man's light colored suit. I can smell the man's focus because he is giving all of his attention to whatever he is seeing. I can smell the street hotdog cart giving many people hotdogs for a snack. I can smell these things because this photo is so descriptive and shows many things. In this photo I can hear the newspaper sellers calling out "Get your newspapers," as they are trying to sell papers to get a day's worth of money for their next meal. I can hear the stomping of feet as many people go to places around the big city and try to get to their destinations quickly. I can hear the ambition in the people as they work to get what the want- social reputations, money, information, knowledge, etc. I can taste the freshly baked muffin from the bakery down the street. I can taste the dry air that dries my lungs as I take breaths. I can taste these items because this photo is very detailed and shows the environment that the man is in. I feel the smoggy and humid air on my skin. I feel people's arms as they bump into me in a rush to work. I feel the smooth newspaper brush against my hand as I read the daily news. 

      Photo 2: In this photo, I can see the antique cars, tires and car parts. I can see the dusty tires dirty from the street. I can see the bright sun beating down on the car store because of how bright and light the photos are. In the photo, I can smell the oil drifting in the wind from the garage, I can smell the heated tires as they burn in the daylight. I can smell the cigars of the mechanics as they smoke and work on cars. In the photo, I can hear the car's revving engine. I can hear the mechanics chatter in the garage. I can hear the metal clanking of car parts in the mechanic shop. I can hear the car's tires squeaking on the dusty street. I can hear children's voices playing in the street. In the photo I can taste the dusty street in my mouth. I can taste the replenishing water needed for drinking on the sunny and bright day. In the photo I can taste the fresh sandwich that I brought with me to the shop for lunch. I can feel the rough Earth underneath my feet and the rubbery tire in my arms. I can feel the burning hot wrench in my hand as I turn it to work on the car engine.


3. I would like to create a mini movie on my photographer and their photography career.
