Although all of the other photos are very influential I decided to choose this one. It stood out to me especially after reading the description. In this photo the main focus is a poor little boy who looks like he’s starving. He’s crouched down in a ball crying and there is a vulture staring at the boy like it is preying on him. The color of this photo is in color but the color is sort of faded which I think can depict a sad emotion. Another reason I chose this photo is because this picture is not staged it’s real life, it was in the moment. The photographer heard this Boy whimpering because he was so weak and hungry he collapsed while on his way to a feeding center. And the vulture was not staged either the photographer actually had to scare the vulture away so the boy can continue to walk to the feeding center.
I really loved this picture because like you said it depicts a sad emotion from either the viewer's and the photographer's point. I thought as I was reading your post of how much food not only in the United States but in numerous different places on earth, food is wasted at the end of the day. How many times we run to place get something that we might like?, and do we finish it? Most of the time we try to finish it but still there is a great amount of us that we just did not like it or want to finish it because we are full and is thrown away. Some of those times we do not even open a burger or a drink and we just throw it away because at that point we do not feel like eating it. People from this countries were food is hard to find, appreciate more the food and it's a really sad feeling that they do not eat as how we eat. I really like that you chose to emphasize the starvation in other countries.
