Great Black and White Photographers { Part III }

               What first caught my eye was probably the fact that both of these have their own sense of mysterious beauty, and a certain suspense as to what had happened afterwards. I liked the one with the boy because the suspense behind the photo and I liked the photo with the flower in the cup of water because of the seemingly hidden beauty.
               I see the wilting hope of survival for a weak little flower, who is trapped within the depth of the glass. I see a boy tenderly holding his new best friend as he looks into the camera, into my eyes, and into my soul. I see his parents trying to hurry him along, though he just wants to stop, rest, and play with what looks like to be a newborn puppy.

               I smell the fading sweet scent of the flower as it continuously wilts alone in the emptiness of its containment. I smell the running water through the streets and the horrid smell of the sewage from surrounding buildings and restaurants. I smell the ruggedness from the dog and the other surrounding homeless people and people who really need a wash.

               I hear the going throughout he streets. I hear the sound of cars and the never-ending sounds of engines running loudly hinting that a few drivers need to pay to get a proper muffler. I hear the silence that draws my focus more and into this motion-less flower.

               The only thing I can taste is the sickly sweet taste of the water in the cup. I taste the bitterness of sickness in the air, however, the sweetness of the bakery next door helps to overpower my disgusted thoughts. The vile taste of almost bile taste occurring from the back of my throat.

               I feel the slightly soft petals that slowly turn crunchy underneath my fingertips. The somewhat scratchy, somewhat smooth fur of the puppy's ears and soft head. I can also feel the soft fabric of the little boy's hat and overcoat.

               I would make a powerpoint including all of my favorite photos of his and come up with reasons as to why I believe that they are phenomenal examples of important black and white photography in history because I believe that he was a great photographer throughout his life
