Jessica Lubin-Class 6 Tearsheets



Photographer Matias Costa (for the NY times, Sunday, Feb. 22) waited for this picture. The woman is examining the painting in the same position as the subject is painted in. Readers can see the entire piece of the exhibition and see that it is fascinating at the same time, based on how this woman is approaching the painting. This could easily have been a boring picture of some artists exhibit, but it's really pretty interesting in the end.



I was really drawn into this picture by Beatrice de Gea for NY Times, (published Tuesday, Feb. 24). The simplicity of everything in the photo really came together. The blue wall is the majority of the photo but the women draped in white cloth just take over the photo with their deep expressions. They are tired, sick and thoughtful. The women are waiting a surgery to hopefully help them recover from painful births. I had no idea what the story would be about as I looked at the photo but I did want to know more.




This photo by Philippe Teston of WSN (published on Friday, Feb. 20), really captured the tensions and not always very peaceful protestors that took over Kimmel last week. The guard's face shows fear, anxiety and strength while he holds back the door. He seems just as confused about what exactly is going on as the protestors and students on campus felt. The protestors in the background are moving tables-fortifying themselves more in the dining hall as their long occupation continues.
