From review this exemplar artist's work the photo that appealed to me the most was "Rat" and Mike with a gun, Seattle, Washington 1983. It appealed to me the most because of the strong message it sends showing a young man with a gun in an ally. This photograph relates to children's lives in low income areas like the areas that I lived in when I was younger. Not only did this photograph remind me of my childhood it reminded me of how other kids had to fight through for what they needed in life even if that meant doing something illegal. Mark does a great job in capturing the contrast between the dark back ground and the highlighted gun in the center of the photograph. Artwork Resources
