I feel the photos that best captivated me were the ones that, to me, seemed to be that of a natural disaster. They invoke a lot of memories and the feelings of extreme loss. None of them exactly bad for a person to feel either as long as they know how to use them to improve themselves. I guess that brings me to the lighting. With everything in the photos being so clear and bright after an overwhelming situation such as a natural disaster it feels as if the photographer wanted to encourage those effected to take a stand do whatever they can to get back on their feet.
After a disaster there's only two options, to sit and do nothing while wallowing about all that's lost or to stand up, move on and appreciate everything that is still around. I feel these works very accurately show both options of respecting and remembering what has past but moving on and pushing past as well.
