Great Black and White Photographers Part 3:

When I first saw Sebastiao Salgado's photo's the one thing that caught my eye was the emotion he captured in each one of his photos. I chose his photos because in each photo that I saw I felt some sort of emotion.

Photo 1:
I see the penguins waiting to slide down the ice burg into the freezing water. The penguins are most likely jumping in the water to find food. The penguins formed a line to wait their turn to slide down into the water.
I smell the fresh cool air with a sense of salt water. The freezing air has a icy smell as it is brushing against my face. As the waves splash I smell the salt water.
I hear the splashing of the waves. As each penguin slides into the water I hear a giant splash against the ice berg. I hear  the sliding of the penguins on their stomach.
I taste the ice cold air in my mouth. As the air whistling in the air I get a taste of the air when I open my mouth.
I feel very cold but at the same time happy. I get to witness penguins in penguins in their own habitat and watch them as they slide on their stomach's.

Photo 2:
I see group of people walking in a desert wrapped in a blanket. I see dirt blowing in the background
almost as if it were a sand storm. I see the people's face expression as if they were asking for help.
I smell the dirt blowing all in the air. I smell the wilderness and the open fields.
I hear the whistling of the wind in the air. I hear footsteps of the people walking.
I taste the dirty taste of dirt. Every time I open my mouth I get a taste of dirt.
I feel sorrow for the people walking. They are in a desert and barefoot walking. I feel them calling out for help to me.

I think Sebastiao Salgado is a wonderful photographer. I would make a power point to preset his history about him and his work he has accomplished, including all of his amazing photos.
