Three Photos - Black & White

This first image is entitled, "Winter on Fifth Avenue" by Alfred Stieglitz.

What draws me to this photo is the snowy setting, and the way the sky seems to faded with blizzardy winds. This somber, cold setting reminds me of home, and draws out a feeling of content and easiness. The POV from which this is shot is excellent, because it holds the image from a naturalistic perspective. The Black & White enhances this photo in a sense that a wintery scene is already very gray to begin with, and also dark and perhaps a little depressing. I think the Black & White exemplfies that mood.

This next Picture is called, "Candy Store" by William Klein

What I like about this picture is the just the fact that it looks cool. The Black & White is without a doubt the best possible way this photo could have emerged. It draws on the shadowyness of the background, and demonstrates an awesome use of lightning.

Finally, This Pic is entitled, "Assassinated", By Miguel Alvarez

I found this to be a pretty gnarly photo for a picture taken at this time, of course it probably wasn't taken for the purpose of grossing people out for kicks, but rather to insinuate the horrific damage capable of being caused to another human being.
