The message in this photo is clear and bold, it communicates the racist view of beauty. Carrie faces away from the woman in the mirror as she does not want to accept this. She uses aggresive text in conjunction with the image to convey the fury she feels about the treatment of black women. I like the image overall, but I feel as though the photograph could be more powerful, especially when considering the text.

The composition in this photo really suits the subject. Its good how it emphasises the wide reach of the branches. What I love most of all in this are the strange twists and turns of the tree which make it look like something from a science fiction story. The use black and white also adds drama to the stunning scene.

This photo is totally bizarre, I love how random it is and how unthinkable it would be to miss out on taking a picture. I think it also relates to how any ordinary person would react upon seeing a man play a piano in a car park; instantly take a photo. The next thing to notice is the glaring sign; that harsh white light draws your eyes in like a moth to a flame and shines like a spotlight on the piano. The gritty car park gradually becomes the mans own personal stage. Overall I really just enjoy the quirkiness of this photo.
