An-My Le

Her picture of the military were founding interesting. It is nice that we are able to see what they have to go though in training. Then to see the aftermath of the military people come home and to see the faces of the families who are waiting for them. Another is the way she was able to capture the images of the reenactment of the Vietnam War and the way it made her feel. Since she was a small child when that war happen she really could not see that much of it.

Robert Adams

The way he is able to bring out the life from the dead trees is very moving. You in a way feel for that tree or the forest of what the beauty was before the destruction of it. To see that there is life even after death for a tree or forest is interesting. The best way is to see this by having it in black and white like Mr. Adams has done with his pictures. I think in color you would not be able to see the beauty of death. The landscapes that he took were nice and it does show a different point of view that is seen through the camera.

Music Video

The video was great and very visual when it came to what we have gone through in just not the Native Americans, but the other people as well. Listening to the song there were a lot of meaning with the word that was sung. From the Native Americans and what they have reached, but have they really reached the potential that they should be at right now. Is that the way the west was really won, by destroying what was and to be where we are right now. Is it really a good place to be at.
