Social Awareness Picture



This very powerful image by James Nachtwey was taken during the fatal attack on nine eleven. This one day is believed to have been a moment that has changed America forever. This one picture captures the day where millions of lives were taken. It symbolizes both death, and the start of a new city. Building it self together again, while uniting all of its people together. 



This photo is one of my all favorite works of art. It captures exactly what is going on at the time and it also includes a piece of religion in it. This very deep photo is very compelling to me because of multiple reasons. One was that James Nachtwey was able to get close enough to the action to catch this great moment. On the other hand, it symbolizes a new start for this city that has since then grown from the incident.

  2. Your vocabulary was very vivid. You also described the painting very nicely while still bringing a personal touch to the response.
