Great black and white pictures 3

This picture to me has a story. It shows that this older
                             woman is very worried and wants everyone to see what she has and posses. I think                                this  picture is a astonishing image of someone who's very materialistic.


I love this picture because i can see and feel the mysterious and strange place.The first time I saw this picture I felt drawn by the dark ominous man. The picture has a very impeccable view of the man. The picture is an amazing black and white photo.

Gyula Halasz (Brassai) was born on September 9, 1899 in Budapest, Hungary. He was braught up in Hungary but when he was little he lived in Paris for a year while his father taught French. As a young man he studied painting and sculpture. But after collage he enlisted in the Austro-Hungarian army, and was in till tha war was over. In the 1920`s he became a jounalist. He did that for 4 years until his job moved him to Paris where he countinued being a journalist but was mesmorized by the beauty. So at night he would take photos of the beautiful city. He published a book called "Paris de nuit"(paris by night) in 1933. That book is what made him so famous. He moved to the U.S. and took many photos of famous people. He did that until he died on July 8, 1984.

Advanced nature
This picture is a perfect example of simplicty. I think the lighting is perfect because if it where any darker the fruit wouldn't be as noticeable. To me it's a very intresting photo.

Filling the frame

This picture fills in the frame. It takes almost all the room in the picture. And the parts where the girl is'nt standing the band people are taking up space. So this picture takes most of the frame.

Action and Emotion

This picture shows emotion. It expresses how the young boy feels about little girl. In the picture it seems that she's in pain and the young boy is being very compassionate towards her. So to me this picture shows a lot of emotion.

The Story

This picture's story is that music makes everything a little better. If this picture was only three men standing there it would seem boring, but since ther're playing insrtuments and in a band it makes the picture more intresting. So i think the picture's story is music makes everything a little better.
