This photograph was taken by Carl De Keyzer.  Im not really a fan of much of this guys work but i really like this one.  The placement of the random cinderblock in relation to the figure, and the way the figure sits alone with an automatic weapon at his side very non chalante.  The earth tones and colors used seem to fit the feel of the photograph really well and it is overall very successful.

This photograph was taken by peter seeker.  I really like the placement of the figures within this frame and the way that there is eye contact with one of the subjects but not the other. The figures divide up the frame nicely from the dark left half to the light white half.

This photograph was taken by Nan Golden.  It was in one of the galleries we saw in chelsea and I love everything about this image.  It is very similar to the work that I am doing in that it is using the human body to show progression of time.  The choice of making the image soft makes all of the images much stronger as a whole.  The piece feels very dreamlike and the technique used partially abstracts the figure yet it is still recognizable in a few frames

 This is another image taken by the photographer jean gaumy.  I enjoy the juxtaposition within this image these women who are normally suppressed are completely out of their element within this image. I also like the contrast of the women's clothing to the desolate and single toned background.

This photograph was taken by the famous Robert Cappa.  It is one of seven images that were salvaged from the d-day invasion of normandy.  The essence of war is really captured in this image with distruction surrounding all sides of the subject and the slight motion blur shows the urgent feeling that Cappa had when making this image.

This photograph was taken by Jean Gaumy.  He is a french photographer that i discovered on magnum photography.  I like the sense of despair and exhaustion that one finds in this picture.  I think that there is a great variation in the tones within this image and the perspective that was chosen is very personal and adds to the image.

This photograph was taken by richard kalvar.  this image is comical with its juxtaposition of the man eating and the body on the street.  It is as if the idea of a dead person on the street is a normal event for the people within this image.  Also the use of the dividing line of the dark and light buildings to seperate the living from the dead is great.

This image was taken by Thomas Dworzak.  I found this image on magnum photography and I think it has powerful imagery.  The overhead view of the man in the grave with the body right next to him is very depressing but still very intresting subject matter.

This photograph was taken by helen levitt. I really like the sense of abandonment you get when looking at this image.  It shows how wasteful and careless human beings can be.  The colors in this image which are muted also work very well with the entire feel of something that has been discarded and is unwanted.

This photograph is by Author Tress an is called the last portrait of my father. I like the contrast between the figure and the back ground as well as the selection as to where the figure was placed.  One really gets a sense of lonleyness in this image which is what i believe he was trying to portray.

This Photography was taken by Walker Evans.  I like the contrast between the two figures one is in a strong light and the other has much more shadows also the way that he has divided up the space between them is a great compositional choice

This photo graph was taken by Hugh Van Es during the Vietnam war. I find this image interesting for the intense and powerful subject matter.  One can really get the feeling of the horrors of war just by viewing an image such as this one.  Not only is it a strong image emotionally but the stark contrast between the children and the solders is great
