Great Black and White Photographers Part III

1.  Levitt mostly photographs children who lived in less than stellar areas playing in the streets. This caught my eye because she really captured the joy these children felt just by using their imagination playing in the streets of areas that weren't extravagant. She also could capture the confusion portrayed by children who were too young to understand adult life. I chose Levitt's photos because they remind me of easier times when all I ever did was play in the street with my sisters and neighbors. 

2.  I see my friends playing in the street, laughing and running. Some are in a tree, some are running around with ribbon. They are out of breath from all the fun we are having.

I smell the autumn leaves falling from the trees and the brisk, autumn air. I smell the exhaust from a car and the smell of bread baking from the bakery down the street that is walking distance from us.

I hear my friends laughing and yelling while playing various games like tag and hide and seek. I hear our parents yelling at us to come in for supper, but we don't because we're having too much fun. I hear the wind whistling through the tall trees and dead shrubbery.

I taste my sweat trickling down my face into my mouth from running around all day. I taste the residue of the cherry flavored lollipop I had earlier. 

I feel the raggedy bark from the tall tree I grasp onto. I feel the numerous, little hands that tap my arm to signify I am now it during tag. I feel the cool metal of the car against my arm.

3.  I think a powerpoint would be an efficient way to portray the brilliance of Levitt's photographs. She has numerous amazing photos that could be showcased through various powerpoint slides that many people could view.
