A picture is worth a thousand words? Let's see.

I'm going to take some photographs I find on the internet and write about them.



This is one of my favorite images out of every one I've ever seen. It reminds me of the strength of america in a single frame. Men working together for their country.

I'm going to look at some images of people in their "state of nature" when they are at war. When their guard isn't up psychologically, where they aren't trying to force a smile or anything. Because one thing I want to be able to learn is how to read faces, it's something people goto college for, but I'd like to try my hand at it...

This is a truly amazing portrait. The man in the front is watching the German soilders marching into the French capital. You can see the emotions in his face are real. The furrowed brow, the tear, and almost uncontrollable trembling.
The woman to the left of him is frightened, and confused. She looks as if she’s about to say something.
The other woman to the left of her is defiantly in a state of shock, brows raised., and watching in shock.

The man to the left of her isn’t as shocked as he is terrified, his brow is at a triangle, and he is frowning.

There is something very suspicious on the very right hand of the screen. He’s got a straight face. Other than him being a nazi, I’ve got several other guesses.
A) He’s interested in the camera, or cameraman; maybe tagging along, so he would be focused on the camera.
However, he doesn’t look sad at all, he looks content, maybe even contempt on his face?
