This photograph is using a framing and depth of field. The tombs show that they are build in nineteenth century. I had learned the document of calculating last week, and Green Wood Cemetery must spending a lot of time and money to build.

Thomas Holton — The Lams of Ludlow Street HW#1 Weiquan Chen
1. I think that the type of Thomas Holton’s photograph is reflecting a group of people’s lives in America.
2. Thomas Holton try to convey a message about how though of the environment of the new immigrant living in this country.
3. The photograph created the scenes of the immirgrant’s daily life and emphasize their living enrivonment.
4. The photograph use the contrast between the light and shadow that create an intensive emphasis.
5. The very first thing that captured my eyes is the most contrast part. A character or an object that has a big color contrast with the background can be the first place I looked at. My eyes will also flow from the biggest object to the smallest object.
6. When I spend more time on those pictures, I found out that the photographer try to stand out the feeling of how the kids already get used to the enrivonment.
7. The photograph give me a feeling of sorrow, oppressive and somehow hopeful. I may think that the kids are still the hope to make the family better future, and as parents they work so hard to provide their family.
8. “Varanasi Junction” is the other Holton’s photograph, they just alike because they are both about the how the living enrivonment of lower class of Asian people and express by taking photo of thier daily live.
