In Class: playing with pictures "Johnnie and Zeek"

I think this picture of Johnnie and Zeek is taken out of either Louisiana or New York. The way this picture looks makes me thing that they could work at the Yankee's or Mets' baseball stadium. I feel like they are both content with life judging by the way they're standing and also the hint of smiles on both of their faces. I think it's funny that Johnnie's jacket is so tight on him. It kind of makes me sad though, too, because I don't know if it's because he didn't have money to buy another suit or if he just likes that one too much to replace it after all these years and pounds. I really like Zeek's bike in the picture because it makes it feel more personal. The bag looks like it could possibly be a mail or paper bag. It just makes me feel good. Both guy's overall appearance makes me think they're both pretty awesome guys. I think this picture has a great story behind it. It reminds me of a couple of best friends who work together and live in the same town. I can imagine them grabbing a couple of instruments and sitting on the front porch of a house just jamming with their friends. This is just their usual trip back home from work. They're just two good buddies who hang together and whose families are always together. There is a mischief in Zeek's eyes that makes it seem like they're planning one of those front-porch jam sessions once they make it back home in time for dinner. The black and white hue of the pictures makes it seem old and authentic. It also gave the picture a more "homey" feel to it, and made me feel like I'd met these men before and that this was a picture a relative took of them. The more subdued colors of the picture make it less striking and simpler. The simple look makes it more relateable.

The frist thing I see about the picture is Johnnie and Zeek standing in front of this building, and as well as Zeek's bike. The clothes and the bike make me think that this picture was taken in either Louisiana or a smaller town in New York. From the way they're dressed, I think it was taken somewhere within the years between 1950 and 1970.

This picture is trying to make me feel like I have a relationship with these men. It makes me feel like I've lived down the street from them and their families for all my life. Part of what makes me feel that way is the black and white color and the smiles on their faces. The way they are posing for this makes me feel like they're just really great guys who I actually knows. At the time it was taken, I think the picture appealed to only a black audience, but I think the audience now has grown to include everyone, black and white.I think this picture of Johnnie and Zeek is taken out of either Louisiana or New York.
