Gordon Parks

March of people protesting.

I chose this photo because it shows that nothing has been changed since the 1900s. Sad but true. Personally, I don’t think the relationship between bad cops and people will ever change. Where there is hate there is violence. This photo could have been taken in the riots of 2020, and many people wouldn’t have noticed. Sad but very true.

This gave us a timeframe and appreciation of when this was taken. Now all we have to do is reach in our pocket and take a simple selfie. This captured emotion and effort in taking a self portrait. Now it is much easier to do. We also now have the use of depth of field and color, along with photoshop and color correction software.

Life was very different and simplified back then according to what we see in Park’s photos. Gender was a factor in determining who you will be and what you will do. Now times have changed where the option was in your hands as long as your parental duties did not change.
