Chika Anoliefo: Week 6


This picture was taken by Amir Cohen for Reuters. The photographer makes good use of juxtaposition here, between the size of the Israeli tank and the flowers and the significance of the two. Also in deciding to keep the flowers out of focus, it's as if the photographer has immediately let the viewer know what rules in this area (Kibbutz Kissufim), now.



This picture was taken by Menahem Kahana ofAgence France-Presse , a Getty Image, and featured on the NYT. The picture shows an overwhelming mass of gray cranes at Agamon Ha-Hula Lake at the Hula valley in northern Israel in their journey to Africa. The photographer captures a species in its environment, in action. The features of the photo like the shadows and depth of focus, give the image greater dimension.


This picture, taken by Finbarr O'Reilly for Reuters, and featured on the NYT captures a perfect moment of exertion as this man and others like him search for gold. It shows the inherent contradiactions of something so valuable like gold being found amoung the sludge.
