Photo Analysis Exercise

In class today:  you will use a graphic organizer to analyze a series of photos for 
1) Selection: What an author (photographer, filmmaker) 
chooses to draw a reader’s/viewer’s attention to
    and

2) Deflection: What an author (photographer, filmmaker) chooses to push into the background, downplay, or leave
out entirely. 

3) In approximately 50 words, tell the story as you see it, based upon the series of photos.  This is due at the close of class.  
NOTE: if you are absent, please analyze the photos at the end of the blog. If you are in class, you have been given an individual set of photos.

Look carefully at each of the images in your series and describe precisely was has been selected and what has been deflected.  The purpose of this is to learn to see and hence appreciate how a photojournalist “writes” through the picture.        When you have completed the organizer, please on the back compose a statement of approximately 50 words that tells the story that you have witnessed through the images.
