Inspired Photography


This picture really interests me because of the way the man is submerged under the water as the gun is the most important thing to him. Also by just seeing his hands it shows his identity has been taken away from him because of the gun. 


I like the idea of silent protesting and the way people go against the government in their own way. By taking a photograph of this it keeps this protest alive even when the chalk has rubbed away. This also reminds me of the artist Banksy which i'm also interested in as he also protests in a silent way. However photography unlike paint or chalk keeps the artists message going. 


Again this photo shows images of another protest. However they have done this differently and are using signs but similarly the written word instead of the spoken and loud protests seen like the student protests. As these women are speaking against government ideology there signs may have been taken and this photo keeps there message alive.
