I just finished doing a presentation on some of Eugene Richards' photography for my class. I have found myself still very interested in viewing more and more of his images. He has immersed himself in a subject matter and style of photography which greatly interests me as a phtographer and the kind of images I would like to capture and share with the world in order to bring about a new way of thinking and focusing on our environment. His documentary style of photography brings an emotional connection with the scene that other images cannot. I admire the steps I know Richards had to have taken in order to capture the images as he did. In this particular photo, Richards has taken a scene from a protest against war in which a young man has a blown-up image of his dead father after fighting in the military.
