Eric Gottesman discussion
This photo was taken by the photographer Eric Gottesman called “ "The Last Days of Baalu Girma “.The black and white photo is quite exceptionally,I like how he managed to keep the window in middle of the background contrasting with the people in the foreground.The figures pop more as a result,which leads into what the figures are doing.It comes off as showing how your speech is limited in the US as supported by the man saluting in the back of the photo.Also I have to say I do quite love ways of using shadows creatively.So using the man with the pen on his head as a man saluting I quite enjoy. As for the hand since I didn’t talk about it much,it most likely meant to be the US choking the the throats(thus stopping there speech).Overall I quite enjoy this piece and find it to be a quality piece of political commentary.
