I chose to analyze HONY because I liked the intimate look at individuals. Stanton, the photographer, does not discriminate when he takes pictures, but rather focuses on the passed over, like the homeless or refugees. He posts portraits of a wide variety of people who all have unique and individual stories. I like how he captures the distinct look of all who encompass the vivid streets of New York. In a city as large as New York, most people are invisible. Stanton finds these invisible people, and he gives them a voice on HONY. I also picked HONY because of the write-ups under the pictures. It gives people an outlet to tell their story. These stories are thought provoking and insightful on how remarkable people are and how perseverant people can be when facing adversity, especially seen in Stanton's most recent emphasis on refugees.

Have you decided on a time frame to focus on, since he has so many photos, or some other way to decide what to focus on? I would recommend that you use some photos and captions, not all photos have captions. Because, you said you like how he gives voice to the overlooked
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree that Brandon tries to empower the individual by giving them a voice and is very inclusive, I think you could focus on the rhetorical appeals surrounding the captions and the composition of the photos to show how Brandon empowers the people of New York and avoids discrimination!
