Great Black and White Photographers Part 3.

1. I think the people in the pictures caught my attention the most. How the photographers captured the emotion of the person sitting for the picture, and what he did to make it stand out for the rest.

2. Churchill
I see: An empty dark room with not a lot of emotion. I man leaning on his cane with a displeased look on his face. Another man with a camera and he's going as fast as he can. The man leaning on his cane looks like he's ready to leave and he doesn't want to be there.
I smell: Wood of the man's cane that he's leaning on, one of the only things in the room. Dust that coats the floor and floating around the room. Coming in from outside it everyone smells like it.
I hear: The creaking floor as people try to take small steps not to make too much noise. The man sitting for the picture coughs ever so often. The noises from outside, like birds chirping and people yelling seep through the paper thin windows.
I taste: The sunshine gleaming through the windows. The not so fresh air of this rarely used room. The smells I smell fill my mouth because sometimes there are those scents that you can just taste.
I feel: When I first saw this picture it made me wonder. Who was this man? What is he know for? Why is his picture so important? I wanted to find out more about him and why he was the way he was.

Einstein
I see: The man's crazy hair and dress, he was a quirky character and it showed. The wrinkles on his worn face showed years of experience and life. All the furniture in the room and all the windows with the light shining through.
I smell: The strange smells and dust left floating around in the room. Everyone's 'home' smell, the smell you know when you walk into someone's house and it just smells like 'them'.
I hear: The shutter and flash of the camera. Fidgeting people, coughs and sneezes, things like that.
I taste: Smells that float around in the room. The fresh sunshine and dust particles.
I feel: This picture leaves me awestruck. The emotion in his face emotes true brilliance. He stands there looking like a true genius.

3. I think the best way to share this man's images is to create some mural with some basic information about him, to show the school his work.
