About JHL
In contrast to the prior post, there are some photos that are exciting to look at yet, are very mysterious. For example in the gallery book 2/3pg, i do not know, that is a gathering for an event that is supposed to be happy, like gathering for races or are they gathering for a funeral? I mean what are they gathering for?! or is that the mystery? And the other photo ponder about is that plane sticking out of the ground! is that just a plane crash and people gather there to see what happened or what! I really like the element of mystery in all the photos because even though, some people posed for the photos and others did not there are still elements of mystery in each photo, JHL takes. And that makes the photo interesting, it catches my eye, because lack of color!
About JHL
His work is interesting, there are no colors to catch your eye, but the subjects in the picture are doing actions that catch the eye. for example in the gallery book pg 8/9 the race car photo, that catches my eye because everything is fast, you only have one chance to see it, but in the photo, the photo slows the race car down catching every detail of the photo, and its showing how fast the car is going. I think the idea of him capturing there photos are that everything still moves on, time moves by. For example the next photo of the kite and the children playing in the field. For on the kite captures my eye because its big and takes the whole pictures, but then your eyes fall upon the small little children playing in the foreground and background. And he's capturing the time by taking the picture. The pictures i've talked about, the pictures captured lively, happy, loving life emotions because everyone is doing something. They are living life in the fast lane.
