Task 2 photos
- 1. Topic: Photojournalism Type: Mid shot Event: Men in Bangladesh are moving the community mosque piece by piece to a safer location as it was threatened by river erosion. 2000 Photographer: Jonas Bendiksen Why you chose it: I chose it because I think it shows the really strong message that there are people in the world who can’t even live in their own country safely, and it also shows how people work together to reach goals that they cannot reach on their own. Topic: Aerial/ Architectural Type: Long shot Event: Nuremburg after the bombings by the Allies in World War 2. 1945 Photographer: Margaret Bourke-White Why you chose it: I chose this photo because it shows the extremes that humanity can be pushed to when people truly believe that what they are fighting for is the only way that life can continue to exist. Topic: Photojournalism Type: Close up Event: A young Australian girl places her hand on a cave wall that an aborigine had previously painted their hand onto generations ago. 2014 Photographer: Joel Spooner Why you chose it: I chose this photo because it shows a near literal hand shake between generations which depicts some of the changes in time and culture of the country.
- 2. Topic: Wildlife Type: Mid shot Event: Two cheetahs run along a dune, chasing after their mother. (Unseen) Photographer: Gus Mills Why you chose it: I chose this photo because I think it shows how majestic and elegant nature can be if left to do its own thing, undisturbed. Topic: Photojournalism Type: Mid shot Event: the body of 23 year-old Evelyn McHale rest atop a destroyed limousine after she jumped off the Empire State Building. 1947 Photographer: Robert Wiles Why you chose it: I chose this photo because I think it has a sense of mystery and peace to it, and it is calming to know the woman shown had finally reached the peaceful rest she desired.
