 Great Black and White Photographers

 -Part 3-


When  I fist saw photos by W. Eugene Smith, I put myself in his position, getting shot at, while still trying to document the biggest war in the history of the world. What caught my eye was his style of taking pictures, he really makes you focus on the subject, dead or alive.


I see fear in the subject as he tries to hide from the fact he is in war. I smell grass and gunpowder. I hear gunshots and bombs. I taste blood. I feel grass brushing up against me.
I see people fighting for their lives, country, and family. I smell dead bodies, gunpowder, and blood. I hear gunshots and screams. I taste blood, guts, and gore. I feel scared for my life.











I would like to show W. Eugene Smith's work to everyone by doing what I'm doing now, posting it on a blog for everyone to see. Anyone can access this and see his work that I've posted multiple times before.
