This photograph is of Derek Fisher, the president of the NBA Player's union and 15 year NBA veteran. One feature is the puzzled expression in Fisher's eyes, which are almost cross-eyed, reflecting the confusion and ultimate uncertainty behind the NBA Lockout. Another aspect of this picture is the visible wrinkle on Fisher's forehead. Despite only being 37, Fisher reveals a wrinkle, revealing the stress and tension that the players undergo on a daily basis. Finally, there is the contrast between the light in the right and the darkness in the left. The light represents the hope of the season and the fans being restored, and the darkness shows that the future still looks grim.

ReplyDeleteFine analysis. Next step--integrate photographyer's (or image's) purpose. Does this appear to favor the lockout? Noting the uncertainty is a good start.
