The picture that I chose is from the new york times about the flood that occured in Swat, Pakistan on August of 2010. I chose this picture picture it depicts the entirety of the situation and the ray of light that shown from above for me represents hope for people who lost everything. What makes this picture influencial is the scenery shown in the background and it illustrates what these people have lost, not just a home but a home in such a beautiful place and they stand queued in line waiting to be rescued while the militarty officer stands infront of them. Even though huge damage has been done, this photo represents hope and beauty in a uniquely defined way.
I like the perspective you have of this photo. I personally saw the contrast between beauty, happiness, and sadness, but the fact that you saw hope is, I guess, an optimistic point of view :). I also like this piture.
