Martin Parr

I chose these photos because I think they are so interesting.  This is not the type of photography  I am interested in, nor is it something I would ever purchase, but I love looking at it.  I think it is funny that some people would look at these photos as art.  The pictures below present a common theme, people at the beach.

In the first photo, you can see horiziontal lines with the chair, the ladies arm, and her leg.  I do not see very many vertical lines, but possibly the bracelet and the watch on her hand.  Tere is also a triangle that develops with her swimsuit and in the bottom right corner with the chair.  The second picture also has more horizontal lines than vertical lines.  The horizontal line are created with the woman's neckline, her eye goggles, and her hands abover her head.  The vertical line could be her head and the towel.   Looking at this artists other work, I do not believe that there is a continual theme and style with the pictures.  Instead, I think this photograph likes to be different and kind of switch it up a bit, because all of his photographs are so weird but entirely different.
