Appositional images in black and white.

Black and white


Have a close look at this opening image, note the sharp line divisions set on the diagonal. Note the contrasting curves in the sand and notice the changes through black and white and grey.

And I think I'll leave the rest for you to determine.



The two photos I have selected today bear some resemblance to one another. The ingenuity of one of the family of man and the proud majesty of a tribesman.

He has a prominent nose and jawline and deep set eyes and magnificent hair, but he is immutable. Notice what a narrow image this is, stretched out as it is by the black rectangles on each side and removing the image just slightly right. Magnificent.

Here is the link to CNN photo of the day.

You can read what it says on the caption.

Of the next image National Geographic says:

The Yuma Indians, such as this tribesman, were generally nomadic.

Your opinions are most welcome.



Note: Apposition is synonymous with juxtaposition.
