"Flags Of Our Fathers" - A Photograph's Ability To Shape Popular Perception Of An Event
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Perhaps no other photographic image represents the inherently painful conditions of political and social upheaval than that of Joe Rosenthal's famous photograph of Marines raising a U.S. flag over Iwo Jima during World War II. The historic image - which "derives its power from a simple, dynamic composition, a sense of momentum and the energy of six men straining toward a common goal" (Macy, 2006) - illustrates just how popular perception of an event revolves around considerable randomness and unpredictability inherently associated with the historic impact a given photo might embody. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
