This is a good photo because books are spread out all over which shows how much he has been looking. The photographer creates this by making him at the top of the picture and the books are just all around him. It uses leading lines because the books on the shelfs makes lines that go towards him, and there's also framing because shelfs and the books in front surround him.

This is a good example of simplicity because of how the fire fighter stands out in the picture and it's focused on him. It draws your attention to his face and you can tell he's devestated.

This is a good example of lines because of how the rubble is piled together and it makes lines. The fire fighter is in the center of it so it makes the him look small compared to all the wreck.

This is a good example of the rule of thirds because of how the windows each have something different inside of them and the fire fighter stands out because he's in the center of it all.

A young girl from Afghan has to carry water from a well to her family. Having it in black and white creates a type of sad mood for this and the angle that it was shot shows the surroundings she lives in.

A 1962 Cadillac drives down a street in Washington during a rainy day. The color of the car and the roses really draw your attention to it.
