Meg Burcke-Week 3

Gripping, stark, cute, all words that sprang to mind when looking at the Snider photos. I especially liked the hand holding the necklace/cross. The blisters were not noticeable at first, but later stood out. They seemed to contrast with the softness of the cross. All of these photos show the virtues mentioned in the reading. The pictures show emotion. Capture moments and simplistically convey what occurred. The shots of the children and street scenes have captivating subject matter. Some are funny while others are sad. The emotion of both draw in the person looking at the photographs. The the photos also had "arousing technique and originality." The combination of these traits is what made Snider successful. He illustrates the idea of always being ready, and shooting from the hip. Literally.
