This is a picture of a boy who is probably 17 or 18 and he looks mad. His hair is not messy it is clean and brushed back but the picture makes him look dirty. I thought at first that he probably worked in a farm or something. This kid doesn't look mad, but doesn't loo happy. To me it kind of looks like he doesn't care, he looks like he probably didn't want to take this pictures, that's why he wasn't smiling.

Gordon Parks
(Photo taken by: Gordon Parks)
This is a picture of a lady with a mop and a broom in her hand, and in the background there is an American flag. She's probably cleaning up after a show or something where they had to support their country in some sort. It looks like there's a piano in the background, which kind of reminds of a elementary lunch room or something. This lady might not be too happy with her job.

Dorothea Lange
(Photo by: Dorothea Lange "Migrant Mother")
This picture is of a lady with her three children, and she looks like she needs help and her kids don't look happy. Her and her kids are all dirty and skinny, if they are migrating like the name of this picture says they are't prepared at all and they might not have made it to the place where they were going. It looks like they're sitting under something for shade maybe. It doesn't look like a house, to me it looks like maybe an airplane, they probably found an abandon airplane or something similar and sat under it to rest. Maybe they're migrating to find a better life somewhere else. They could have made it to their destination, and they could've failed at least the mom tried.

This lady is letting her bird drink her alcohol beverage, I think that is what makes this picture unique. This lady looks more high class at that moment sharing her drink with her bird. wouldn't you think she wouldn't like the bird because she looks "fancy". I think this is a beautiful photo, the way it focuses on the lady and the bird and how its all black and white, but a happy picture. She's not even smiling but this picture has positive vibes to it.

Diane committed suicide in New York. She learned her Photography, from her husband Allan Arbus, but soon branched out on her own.
