Dimitri Baltermants
Born May 13th, 1912 in Warsaw, Poland
Died in 1990
Attended Moscow State University.
My third picture that I chose is by Dimitri Baltermants, and the photo is titled "Grief".
1. I chose this picture, because you cam clearly see that someone has captured a very emotional moment. I think what caught my eye the most was the reflection in the wet mud. There is also a lot of light for such a grim scene.
2. The photo shows the scene of the aftermath of some brutal battle. The photo is taken of the moment when family and soldiers search for their comrades and loved ones. The picture manages to capture peoples whole worlds crumbling around them as the deridingly find that their loved ones have died.
3.When looking into the information on this photo, you find that "Grief" is only one of many that a young  Russian photography took during World War 2. The pictures were originally kept unshorn, because the Soviet government did not want people to see their people portrayed in this manor. They were later released when Liberalism was spreading throughout the Soviet Union.

The Story

When asked which photo out of the Academic activities category has the most displayed story I chose the photo Sparks Flying.  When I first saw this photo,  I immediately thought of the hard work and dedication I saw in the persons face,  while working on whatever project she was working on. When I see this picture I see someone's pride being crafted into something 

Lines

I think this photo displays lines because of the lines in the building it really catches your eye, but the gash in the building's side really draws your attention, that it was something all parell but now it something broken, and out of form.
