Lori Grinker - photograph of war, _ [ wiliam cva essay]

"With Photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and so to speak, renew past experiences at will."

The quote means that we have a new advance way of seeing our past moments and events, and that photographs can be our way of looking back to past event using this artwork as an example to show an event that happened from past reality to communicate the quote and that this photograph is something I find very interesting, the way the contrast is portrayed, a balance of darkness and light and how the smoke from the cigarette as a effect in the photograph. In the photograph it seems that the man is well taken care of and is in a safe environment.




In the photograph called After War created by Lori Grinker, the main focus of this photograph shows a man smoking and lying down on the bed recovering in the hospital after a battle at war, the veterans Away from a world in conflict t. In this image. .The man with no legs said,” We hit the mines four of us, Chheng told me. I sometimes get confused and think that I have two legs when I realize that I have lost my legs, at first I felt upset. Then I see my friends who also have no legs and I think it is normal" this quote addresses the fact that it is showing how depressing and motion it is to lose legs and feel like a not normal person this photograph shows a relation of family brotherhood, bonding and pain. This image it seems to be in a dark slightly dark room, with a small light aiming at the main focus which is the injured man in a mattress recovering, you see the smoke there is only one area in the room that is smoky.


The Photograph of the man recovering, , links to the quote by Lori Grinker as you glare into the photograph and visualize it, and you can see the past reality that had happened. As technology expands, now that we have evolved with this technology we have the opportunity to experience and view the past reality of our photographs. We can always look back to them to experience that moment we’ve gone through from that past reality.
