Be sure to buy the book so you can answer these questions for Thursday. If the bookstore is still out by Wednesday, let me know and I might be able to give you an alternative (but I won't know unless you reach out). Read the first 150 pages or so, and then answer TWO of the questions below. Bring these questions to class on Thursday if you can, but they're not technically due until 5pm on Thursday. Then answer TWO of the questions below:
Q1: Whose aesthetic in these pictures immediately grabs you or interests you? What do you think makes it so striking or unique? Does the story add to this aesthetic or change it in any way?
Q2: What seems to most interest Stanton as a photographer or as a fellow human? What kinds of people is he most drawn to, or what aspect of people does he like to focus on? Give a specific example.
Q3: If you didn't know anything about New York, what impression might you walk away with after reading many of these pictures and captions? What might Stanton want you to think about the "humans" of New York?
Q4: Somewhat related to Q1, which story changes the picture the most for you? Why is this? Would the picture be as powerful or meaningful without the story--or vice versa?
