Times Square


                This image immediately stands out for its contrast. It was taking in Times Square by Weegee in 1945. The boy dressed in a sailor uniform and the magazine appears to pop out from the image. The background is slightly darker and less in focus making the boy seem 3 dimensional.

                This image stands out for one other reason. The photographer chose the perfect frame and perspective so the viewer can read the title of the newspaper. This gives the reader a better idea of the context and time period. Overall, I think that this image represents great contrast, frame, and perspective.
