Week 6- Meghan Everlanka

This photo is from the New York Times by Shawn Baldwin. The story is about French oil projects in Yemen. I like this photo because it puts size into perspective and how large this project is in time, money, and size. The size of the storage tanks is so large compared to the worker. The light and the repetition of lines is also visually interesting.
This photo is from the New York Times by Michael Albans. The story is about a Montana town and its exposure to asbestos from an abandoned mine. I think the many forms of action that are taking place in this photo is very telling of the reactions to such an awful public wrong. Each man is a character and interesting to look at. It seems like this is the neighborhood watering hole and in a sense the place to meet and talk. The photo captures this and does it by showing real people.

This photo is from the New York Times by Tamara Abdul Hadi. She took it aboard the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt. I thought this photo was a great example of repetition of shapes and how they appeal to the eye. the light and dark and angle in which this photo was taken is also interesting and makes the photo more appealing than just shooting an aircraft head on.
