I'm struggling to get started on Exercise 4, that of writing an analytical account of one of four images. It would be easier if there was only one picture to choose from, but four make it far more difficult. I'm also struggling with having to write to Her Majesty's Customs and Excise over an unpaid tax bill back in 2010 which is affecting my mind set at the moment.
I must decide which picture to choose; I'm more drawn to people portraits than landscapes so can narrow it down to either the Don McCullin 'Shell Shocked Soldier'
or Steve McCurry's 'Afghan Girl'
I can see the merit in both images but I have to research and analyse the background and that is making it difficult to decide.
I saw a Don McCullin exhibition at the Barbican, in London, back in the mid 1990s and was shocked and disturbed by what images were on display. It makes you wonder what seeing continued violence does to a person and how they keep going.
