Photo by Kenn Reay              

Both of the photos above depict landscape photography  that also contain messages. The message in the first photograph would have to be a very somber message. It shows how cold and depressing it looks outside in the country of Japan. The photographer probably was trying to depict emotion in this photograph. In the photo below it, the photographer probably was trying to depict the significance of religion in a certain place. The cross gives away the fact that the picture is definitely trying to convey that message of religion.The second picture portrays more of a message when compared to the first picture.

Photo by Walker Evans

In this photo I can see  a graveyard and a steel mill in the background using objective analysis. While using subjective analysis, I can see that this photograph is portraying what life was like in the 1930's. Walker Evans made this photo very effective because it's not just a picture of landscape but it shows how depressing the times were back then. It can definitely be considered art because art is a form of expressing oneself's emotion so this picture could possibly show the emotions of a photographer during the 1930's. Also, it's considered art because it's a photograph that portrays a story or event.
