This photograph of a Superman action figure has tremendous power in evoking childhood memories. The angle it was taken depicts the enormous presence that toys can take on in a child’s imagination. The toy, while small in real life, takes on a larger than life feel in the photo as it fills the entire frame. His superpowers gain life as viewers of the photo can easily imagine him flying away on an important, confidential mission.

This view is rarely seen by humans. Usually we are on the ground in a natural landscape setting looking up. This gives a vast view of treetops which contrast sharply with the brilliant blue sky. Seeing tall trees as tiny objects within the larger area of the photograph’s range suggests the feeling that we must be incredibly tiny parts of such a grand world, despite the self-centered focus human life usually has. With such a hectic lifestyle that most people in our country have nowadays, it is refreshing to see a little bit of the natural, undisturbed beauty that rural landscapes still hold.

The black and white composition of this photo sends a message of stillness, days gone by, and a past moment frozen in time. However, the content and subject of the photo-Times Square in New York City conjure up feelings of a hubbub of life, work, and endless action as a main part of the city that never sleeps. In addition, the news scrolling across the electronic marquee as well as the football play in action on the jumbotron add to the busy feel of the shot. This stark contrast of content and presentation is powerful in comparing present day life to the relative calm nature of much of our nation’s past.
