Morning Journal Vintage Series #5   Now it gets interesting. You know, I almost feel bad not being able to credit the photographers who have shot these images. I guess that is just the natural photographer instinct in me. Treat other photographers the way you want to be treated. I think that the not knowing also engages me more in the photo. Usually, I wouldn’t disect these images. I feel that explaination comes from within disecting the intrinsic information of the photos to make any sense of them. Maybe it was just the way I was taught.   This image is extremely dramatic to say the least. You can feel the pain, strife and darkness within this individual from just a quick review of the image. The photographer definitely knew how to put emotion onto film and visual covey a feeling. As to the image of the cowboy, I cannot put my finger on exactly what this man stands for, his occupation, or why he may have been featured in the Morning Journal (www.morningjournal.com).   The way that the subjects glasses are blown out denies identity to this man.  As humans, we’re naturally drawn to look at the subjects eyes - it’s said that the eyes are the most important part of an image. While this isn’t necessarily true - the absence of the subjects eyes may mean that he stands for something greater than himself as an individual. Could this article have been representitive of a group of people rather than an individual? This could be a common emotion or feeling for the said group that this single man represents. The dark nature of this image just gives the viewer an eerie feeling while isolating just enough of the mans face to show some character. The short lighting leaves more to be desired from the image. How does the nearside of the figure look illuminated? It leaves something to the imagination to fill in subconsiously while viewing the information we are presently given.    I really enjoy the drama and simplicity in this image. While it may stand for something greater than itself, the contents of the image alone are beautiful to me.   Have a comment? Head over to my Facebook page and let me know what YOU think.
