There's a chance that I can get in trouble for this, but I have an explanation. Sick. Right that out of the millions of pictures to choose from I choose something this grotesque and ugly. This picture out of many like it were taken by James Nachtwey in 1993. Why does this picture stand out to me, because it's showing us something many people refuse to see. The man crawling is literally skin and bones he's probably to weak to walk or even stand up straight. I love photography the different angles can sometimes make an object appear completely different. I favor black and white photos I think you feel the picture more without the color. I love shadows and close ups. I also like doing reflective pictures. Here in America most of the time we are clinging to our diet plans, exiercising until we puke up have our weight. Most of the time I know we have our poor and starving people, but this man is ridiculous. He isn't just starving he is dying. Nachtwey grew up in Massachutes and worked for Albuquerque Journal and Time. He has been over seas to just about everywhere and even took pictures of the 9/11 attack in 2001.
