Santa Anna

This photograph seemed to really capture its subjects feeling. When I looked at the picture it was like i could feel the two mens emotions flowing from the paper. The photographer, Paul Strand, also depicted the filth and grime of Mexico as seen by the decrepit walls. The man squatting seems as though he is upset with the photographer while the man standing in the sombrero just appears confused. A desolate feeling comes forth from the photograph and a sense of depression can be felt.
