This image of two Afgan women waiting to be seen by Greek registration facilities in order to gain passage to a better life has a lot of visual representation, such as the window lighting being cast on them, while the happy, colorful paintings are being left in the dark.

Alex Gentile is only 8 years on and is one of 18 people in the world that has a disease called x-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder with systematic manifestations. All he wants in life is to be able to go outside and play with his friends but he is unable to do so because this disease has made it so he cannot be in the sunlight for very long.

Maro Guloyan of Armenia supposedly committed suicided by hanging herself with a belt, but the marks on her neck don't justify this means of death. This photo illustrates what is happening to women in Armenia living in a "highly patriarchal society". Women are being beaten by the husbands so severely that it even results in deaths like this one. They are often covered up and even ignored by the police because most me think that it is "normal" in their society. This image shows the long way the world has to go to protect the rights and lives of women all over the world.

Family Portrait. 2004.
The Lams gathered for a family meal.
Thomas Holton


An image like this portrays the value of family. In a place like Yarmouth, we take so much for granted, be it our education or our homes and we can still be uncomfortable in our situation, however; the faces of the children and the mother in this image shows their gratitude for the things that they do have.

Visual Text Analysis - Sydney



Interpretive Statement: I think that the message of this photograph is that women do get raped even when we think that they are thought to be very strong(ex. If they are in the army). I think that the picture also portrays the idea that being in the army is very hard and tiring, both mentally and physically, as seen by the women lying on the bed.

Muhammad Ali preparing to give a boxing demonstration at a Nation of Islam Rally, Chicago, March 1, 1965. 


This is a photo that portrays intensity of the fighter Muhammad Ali before a boxing demonstration. He sits in the corner of the ring with two men beside him outside of the ring. This intensity is seen in Ali's face and mostly his eyes as his helmet casts a dark shadow over them.

This photo delivers a story about a girl with getting ready for some sort of special occasion. We see in her eyes her community members’ faces. Her face is being painted in bright colors and patterns by someone older than she.
