A Photo That Stood Out To Me

Among The Seafaring Nomads Of Asia



Assignment Requirements

• From the images above, select one photo that stood out to you. Prepare to tell me in class why you chose the photo, how it fit in with the other images and how it added to the text.  

My Opinion:

The pictures of the seafaring nomads of Asia had the best captured photographs.

 The 5th photo with the child grabbing the shark and playing with it as if it was a normal pet stood out to me the most. It was just unusual to me because it added an explanation to part of the text where they said “They learn to swim before they walk, legend says.”

It clearly represents how they are in touch with the sea and how it is considered part of their normal life behaviors. It clearly shows how they can dive deeply into the sea so bravely and confident as if it was their second home. The child looks only 6 years old and he is so brave enough to dive down there and grab a shark that is larger than his size.

Really nice captured picture by James Morgan, and I really liked the strong visuals in the photos it attracted my attention a lot. Especially in this photo that told the story quiet clearly before reading the text under the photos about their lifestyle.
I wish I could be such a great photojournalist like him one day.

  1. This photo is extraordinary because it captures the moment of man bonding with nature, not against it. Another thing I like about this photo is because average kids would jump out of the water if they saw a shark. I know I would.
