The image above 'Last few Days' is very ironic like a lot of the images in the project, catching an elderly man walking past a run down shop saying 'last few days' is also quite comical, he's managed to catch the man at the right point as well as you can see clearly the words written on the window. The focus of the picture is the words and the man but your eyes are instantly drawn to the words first and then the man i found. The black and white tone gives the image a boring 'this is everyday' atmosphere. A good use of juxtaposition.
This image 'Jack In The Box' is well executed as he just caught the mo-ped at just the right time, and even though the image has motion it still works just as effective because the text in the background is in focus, making it the main focus of the image. this image is high contrasted due to it being a black and white image.
In this image 'Ahead' there is a play on the word ahead, 1) the mans head, 2) he's going ahead, 3) theres something ahead. Gibson has composed the image so theres more road in the image, which i think was the best decision, because if there was more pavement or it was taken landscape i think the image would have a different overall atmosphere and feel.
This image 'Why?' is quite though thought provoking, maybe the cleaner is looking and wondering why? why is it there? why are they there?
