Cornell Capa "Adlai Stevenson at his Illinois farm"
1952

The photograph I selected is called "Adlai Stevenson at his Illinois farm" made by photographer Cornell Capa. I chose this image and was inspired because when I first saw it the first thing I could think about is peace. I like this photograph because in this image you can tell the photographer invested his precious time and put his passion into this masterpiece. This image is black and white but, if you look at this image closely you can see the contrast of the light beaming from the branches of the tree and the shadow it reflects in the bottom of the grass. This image spoke to me because life is very messy, it's like a roller coaster you have your ups and downs. However, reflecting at this image you can't help to take a breather and feel relaxed. Sometimes we forget that we're human and we need to relax.
