Gordon Parks

By:Gordon Parks
Malcolm X Addressing Black Muslim Rally in Chicago1963

This picture is formal and informal because he is dressed up but then hes not posing or looking directly into the camera. This is a hard lighting portrait; the light is shining on the right side of his face. To create this effect you would have to have your subjected in the dark and have a powerful light in a cirtain area of the room or in some sort of angle?!

Langston Hughes Poems

Merry-Go-Round

Where is the Jim Crow section On this merry-go-round, Mister, cause I want to ride?Down South where I come from White and colored Can't sit side by side। Down South on the train There's a Jim Crow car। On the bus we're put in the back—But there ain't no back To a merry-go-round! Where's the horse For a kid that's black? Langston Hughes
