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.
