“A Woman at The Parade.”

1.) I chose the picture titled, “A Woman at The Parade.” This is a photograph taken in black and white, I see an African American woman wearing a white jacket, grey top, necklace and her hair is dark and short and is nicely put together. She is standing behind a sign which states, “do not cross,” and behind her you can see an old building with a European style in it’s architecture in it’s large pillars and doorways. The buildings behind her seem to have graffiti on them. 

2.) In analyzing the image I noticed that within this photo actually being in black and white it displays both the light and dark aspects (both good and bad) within her society and community. 

3.) I feel the artist chose this photograph because he wanted to express to his viewers different lifestyles and living conditions. I felt that the artist wanted to display how not every community isn’t always going to be like the one you may have grown up in, or maybe someone has grown up in a community similar to the one displayed in this photograph who is viewing this piece of work and can relate to it. 

4.) I do feel that this is a good piece of art, it is a dark photo displaying different types of community. Showing how a community that was once clean and beautiful within it’s architecture and how over time communities can change and develop into something different and maybe even abused.
