When i first stated looking at Brent Stirton's pictures i though he was trying to capture the difficulties of war and what people ga through. However, as i looked deeper into his work he shows the different sides of distress. His images range from people in war to people with disease and whose lives have changed from a tragic event in their lives. One image that stood out to me was of a jockey who lost his legs, staring at his horse looking almost sad. But the next image shows him on that horse racing down the track. To me that shows me that you can get through anything if you have determination.

__**#2**__ //The Death Penalty:// This series of pictures really stood out to me in that not only does the artist capture the death sentence but it shows all sides of the issue without showing a bias or opinion. It plainly shows the facts. Where they go, what they do, and how different people react in different ways to this subject.

//Romance and Ruin, All in the Air:// This piece captured the history of aircraft from its early days up to the fateful 1937 crash of the Hindenburg over Lakehurst, N.J., which killed 36 and put a quick end to the age of the air ship. It managed to tell the story of what people went through and how glorified it was at one point.
