John Wood, The "Quiet Protest"
Submitted by hlee on Sun, 09/20/2009 - 11:11I didn't expect the photographs to be so raw and powerful. John Wood showed how a "quiet protest" could speak volumes louder than any other. Each of his photographs touches upon a variety of subjects including violence, tragedy of war, nature, and the environment and conveys a message. The first photograph we looked at of John Wood was that of the gun surrounded by daisies that were made to look like it could be splatters of blood. My eyes were immediately drawn to the gun because of its placement in the center. It had an air of gloominess.
