I picked this picture because I was curious about why the solider was jumping over the barbed wire and was interested in why there was more than one camera there.
2. Summarize what you read. How about 2-3 sentences explaining the photo.
It was after World War II when Berlin was split into 5 sections, and many people were leaving the Soviet district. In order to keep them in they leader built a mini wall out of barbed wire, but it didn't work, the photographer got news of it and came to take pictures of people leaving. A solider was standing trying to decide to leave or stay, he ultimately decided to leave and he became a icon of freedom, but he did't want to be and in 1998 he committed suicide.

I was interested to know what caused the Airship to explode and what it was. What caught my eye was the big explosion.

I learned that they called them Airships and that the hydrogen caught fire and caused the massive explosion that killed 36 people and ended the Airship craze. Every photographer headed to the crash so they could document it, while a radio speaker was telling the world what had just happened.

1. Why did you pick this image? What caught your eye?
What first caught my eye was the blurriness of the picture, I wanted to learn why it was blurry and why the solider was in the water.
2. Summarize what you read. How about 2-3 sentences explaining the photo.
The soldier was shot down and was stranded in the water for and hour and a half and when he made it to shore and saw the photographer he was frustrated. The solider didn't see the point of him being there, the photographer watched as people died around him. When he sent the pictures he took home they realized there weren't very many pictures, and this one showed the most action and was the best representation of war.

No one really knows who he is, but he shows the difficult choice some people had to make, die by jumping out, or die by waiting. The picture was published and the days after the 9/11 attack people had an out cry about the image. The picture was taken and wasn't seen for many years, but has now resurfaced.
