This is a picture of members of the Mississippi community on their porch in the Mound Bayou in 1976. There exist a lot of contrast elements in this image. For example, the young girl and old woman are facing away from each other, creating a distinction between youth and the elderly. The mesh screen in front of the young girl and the old woman is in contrast with the small slit in the screen, which ultimately exposes the softness of the young girl's image. If one looks closely, one can view the wavy lines that the mesh screen consists of. This is in contrast to the distinct vertical line that the main column (right side of the image) creates. Overall, I liked this image because of its composition and contrast elements.
