Black and White Photographers part 3

1.) The first thing that really caught my eye was the context of the way her photos were taken. For example when she took the photo of the barber in front of his shop. There is something about that photo that really catches my eye. 


2.) Photo 1; 
     I see: a man in front of a barber shop that has very little business. 
     I smell: (if i was there) The smell of aftershave floating out of the barber shop. Along with the sharp smell of cigarettes and coffee.
    I hear: (if i was there) The sound of razors and the small talk between the barbers and the customer. also the noise of the traffic outside the barber shop when everyone just drives by
    I taste: (if i was there) The taste of sharp cologne. And the taste of fresh made coffee the old men are drinking. 
    I feel: (if i was there) The feel of itchy hair on my skin. And dampness in the air because the barber has the air conditioner on too high.
Photo 2; 
  I see: Two boys who look like they may have come out of a warzone.
 I smell: (if i was there) The smell of gun powder. And the smell of blood in the air along with body odor from the soldiers and townspeople running around.
 I hear: (if i was there) The small talk among soldiers. And the screaming of a mother who saw her husband shot to death.
 I taste: (if i was there) The taste of gun powder and sand. Along with last nights supper because I'm so scared.
 I feel: (if i was there) The feel of sand against my skin. Also the feel of shrapnel hitting against my skin and the feel of sadness in the air.

3.) I would love to make posters that are bright and colorful so that they catch the eyes of students. Also to make a power point about Berenice Abbott, and let everyone know what a wonderful photographer she is and the hardships she had to go through.
