Photojournalism Pictures

This photo was taken right after 9/11. It shows a middle aged man, who was probably going to work, due to the hints from the suit and briefcase. He is covering his mouth and nose from the ash that is falling from the sky and settling onto his clothes and the surrounding streets.

The well known photo journalist named Stan Honda took this photo after he rushed to the scene not soon after the attacks were reported. Honda's emphasis in this photo is the man himself, and he is framed with the street around him. This photo brings a mood of sadness, as viewers see how the attacks of 9/11 affect a normal citizen, who was simply going to or at work one normal day.

This photograph is of a mother with her children during the dustbowl. The two children to the left and right of the mother might be hiding there faces from the camera, may be sleeping, or may be too scared, tired, or hungry to know what to do. The mother seems worried and desperate. It accurately shows how the dustbowl affected some families.

Dorthea Lange, (also known as the "master photographer") took this picture. My eyes were immediatley drawn to the mother and the two children on her shoulders frame the shot. In my opinion, the mood is worry, because when I look at this photo is see worry in the mothers eyes and I feel worried for her.

                                                                                                                                                                                         This photo is a shot of flames and firefighters desperatly sprinting towards them. It was taken just days ago from the recent explosion in San Bruno. In this photo viewers can see the immense fire and how big it actually is compared to the size of the people in the photo. A photographer for a local newspaper named Sakuma took this picture. The emphasis is the flames in the center, which are framed by the smoke, streets,and people around it. There is value in this shot as well, with the fire being a bold orange and the rest of the photo all black. I feel that viewers may feel just as emergency response teams felt when they first saw this fire, rushed and shocked.

This is a photo from a marina in New Orleans. Every boat had greatly shifted and moved from the great winds of Hurricane Katrina. It proves just how intense the winds of a hurricane can be and what other damage might be like. A photographer not sited from a local New Orleans newspaper took this shot from a small aircraft. It shows the damage of Hurricane Katrina and is an example of unity. The impact of this image is wonder because if these boats could have moved so much, other damage elsewhere must be even worse.

This photo was taken in Pakistan not too long after the flooding began in the country. It shows what circumstances people have to live in because everything they own in currently underwater. There present house in the simple tent shown in the photo. Mohammad Sajjad took this photo for a website article. This photo follows the rule of thirds as well as line. The reflection of the tent and people are almost exactly replicated in the bottom of the shot in the water. Viewers may be shocked when they see a photo like this because the reality of the floods will come to life.
