Top 40 Photos


Justin Lane-Pool


1. What made you pick the photo?
- I picked the photo because to me it shows such passion and sadness. He is completely kneeled and face to the memorial. Such a quiet action, yet a loud statement.
2. Is there anything about the composition of the photo (this means how the photographer set the photo up in their view finder, NOT the content of the photo) that made your eyes gravitate to the photo?
- What I found most interesting about the composition of this photo, was the glare from the memorial. The reflection and angle gives more focus to the man kneeling.
3. Why do you think this photo made the cut of the top 40 photos ever?

- I think it made the cut because 9/11 was an enormous tragedy, and this photo shows how tragedy affected people. This man obviously has lost a loved one. His body language expresses the sadness and remorse of that horrific day.

1. What made you pick the photo?
- I picked the photo because to me it shows the compassion to the defensless animals. This man pauses from his job to stop fires to help this innocent Koala bear. I love this photo because it shows that in this cruel world there is compassion and heart for the animals that get most affected.
2. Is there anything about the composition of the photo (this means how the photographer set the photo up in their view finder, NOT the content of the photo) that made your eyes gravitate to the photo?
- For content, my eyes gravitated towards the blur with the Koala bear's head. It shows action that the bear was thirsty and anxious to drink the water. Also the yellow jump suit. I like how he used color instead of black and white.
3. Why do you think this photo made the cut of the top 40 photos ever?
- I think it made the top 40 because it shows how humans can be compassionate and aware of the destruction to the animals in dangerous situations. It creates a lovable feeling and also a feeling of thankfulness that this man took time to take care of this Koala.

1. What made you pick the photo?
- I picked the photo because I've seen it before and it moves me. Such love and compassion in an action creates a stir in anybody that sees it.
2. Is there anything about the composition of the photo (this means how the photographer set the photo up in their view finder, NOT the content of the photo) that made your eyes gravitate to the photo?
- For the content of the picture. I would have to say the angle the picture is taken is good because it isn't over the lady it is level. Which gives the picture more realism.
3. Why do you think this photo made the cut of the top 40 photos ever?

- I think it made top 40 because it sends a strong feeling of love and passion. This woman missed her little girl so much. It captures so much emotion.
