Pictures I like

I just found this one! This is my new top 3 favorite images. I absoulutly love this one because of the rain bouncing on the street, and the crosswalk draws your eye away from the major part of this image, whic is the boy. I also has me questioning/concerning about the boy, because he does not appear to be prepared for the rain, being without a visible umbrella or jacket. all of the other people have an umbrella. that makes him seem out of place, but in a good way. I learned that in bad wheather, taking pictues is still possible, even better than normal sunny wheather. this pic is by trent parke. This is by Henri Cartier-Bresson. I like how it keeps me questioning. I finnaly arrived it was a hole in the wall, and i lo0ve how it isnt staged at all. I think that it is perfect how it wasnt staged at all, and how ui fell that the children dont even know that they are taking the picture. It is a true moment in some peoples live, but it is still. It is archaic in the sense that these people will necver get this moment back, but this moment it still occuring with this photograph. I like how it can be through a hole in the wall, and still be whole.





I love this image. It is also by Henri Cartier-Bresson, and i may be infringing on some copyright laws, except I love how the bike is in motion, and I like how the staircase twists my eye. I Love the curved road, how it isnt straight lines. over all, I give this image an A+. The motion in this picture works because it brings life into the picture.




The 2 above are by Paul Fusco, who was the artist behing the chernobyl documentation. These were the 2 that I thought about during my emotion shoot. I really love these images, even though they both make me feel like crying.

I love Henri Cartier-Bresson!!
He's one of my favorite photographers.
I have his book America In Passing. If you haven't checked it out, you should.

Also, that first picture is so cool. I love that the entire picture is totally shrouded in rain. :D
