SPAIN. 1933. Andalucia. Seville.
I chose this image because I love kids. This image also stood the most out to me. You can tell they live in a poor community by the holes in the wall and rocks everywhere but they are still having a blast. I like the timing this image was captured because it caught all of their facial expressions in the moment. I feel like these kids are on teams light shirts vs. dark shirts. I paid close attention to what the kids are playing with it looks like a hoop and bucket from this you can tell this community lack resources. This image brought back memories to when I was a child and played outside all the time. This generation of kids are so into technology, you never really see kids play outside like this. The little boy on the crutches stood out to me because I am surprised he even had those considering it looks like they lacked resources.
This image looks like it was taken on a cloudy day, not much shadow is being seen in the image. You can tell this was an off guard image and captured within the moment. Henri did a really good job at getting everyone in the image without it being blurry. Henri Cartier-Bresson behind the wall kinda making it look 3D by capturing the hole in the picture also! This image shows depth of field by having some kids further back and some standing closer. This image is amazing because you can tell the kids are thankful for what they have and having as much fun as they can considering the circumstances.

I will be commenting on your critique today!
ReplyDelete- I really agree with your critique. I find this photo really interesting. I like how we was able to use the hole in the wall almost as a frame for the photo. Another thing I noticed in this picture which you point out as well, is that it looks like this community seems to be struggling. The rubble all around makes me think this. However what I really find interesting is how happy all of the kids seem in this photograph. This makes me think maybe it was Henri's potential message. That kids have this kind of innocence where they can make dark times, seem happy, just be being happy. That is what this photograph made me think anyways.
