Title: Hitler Moves East

This photo displays troops on the move replaying WWI when Hitler moves East on his rise in Europe.  David Levinhal reenacts the war scene with little toy action figures which looks like actual people.  The Black and white also brings out how real the photograph looks and David also takes all of his photographs with shallow depth of field.  In my opinion it is pretty awesome that he could make these little toy figures look so real and create images that could fool someone who did not know about his work.  He also uses dramatic lighting to bring the image to life and also portrays movement with small toy figures.  
I enjoy his work and i think its pretty cool that he could use small toy figures to create every series of his work.  I also enjoyed this series because of the black and white that he uses to resemble the time of WWI and the reenactment of these troops.

Title: Too Much Photography

I think it's pretty hilarious that while they are taking pictures of things around them Martin Parr is taking pictures of them.  This image was taken in Barcelona on April 26th, 2012.  The image consist of tourist taking pictures while on a tour and Martin Parr's statement was "The question i keep asking myself is what happens with all these images? i assume most are loaded onto Facebook or other social networking sites."  The image to me is trying to say that no matter where our photographs go to whether it be social networks, personal portfolio's, or even as a profession; photographs are all taken the same way from our attractions to what we take in the photo.
