Great Black and White Photographers Part 3

Something that caught my eye while looking at Helen Levitts photos was all the emotion she captured. You could tell how that subject felt at the exact moment she took the photo and it causes you to feel like you were there. 

Photo 1:

In this photo I can see the young boys playing over the doorway. It seems as if they are fighting and one of them is about to fall off. I could also see a little girl that seems as if she wishes she was up with them, but is to scared to climb up there. I can smell the exhaust from the cars as they pass me, getting into my nose and making me cough. There is trash on the street and rotten food causing there to be flea ridden rats and cockroaches to be all over the street and in gutters causing a very unpleasant odor as it mixes with the smell of the exhaust. I could hear the children yelling and talking and the footsteps of people walking on the side walk behind me. There is also the loud rumble of cars as they pass showering me with dirt. I could taste the dirt that I was breathing in from the cars and the exhaust that they were letting out. I felt scared that the children were going to fall off of the door frame. They were running and pushing each other on it so it was rather terrifying seeing up there.

Photo 2:

In this photo I could see some girls playing. When I was about to capture the photo a little boy came running down the street and pulled one of the girls dresses up and ran off. I felt quite amused because the girl didn't even have time to react it happened so quickly. The boy also seemed so pleased that he was able to pull off such a feat that i couldn't help but let out a small laugh. I could smell the dust as it got caught in my throat, making my voice sound scratchy and strained. The trash in the street was putting off a foul odor as well as the car exhaust from the cars in the street. I could hear the cars pass me and people talking in the street. The girls playing and talking was my main focus though since i was trying to capture them in a photo that really showed what their lives were like. I could taste the air, smoggy from the smoke coming from the factories and the exhaust coming from the cars as it got in my mouth making me feel sick.

Something i would like to create to show off my photography would be a blog, specifically a tumblr since so many people have one and would be able to find it easily. I would also like to create prints or posters of some of what i consider to be my better photos to hang up around places so people could see them that way.
