This picture was taken by a guy I know named Jeremy Cavness who specializes in wedding photography. I find this picture visually compelling because the subject is not your typical model, but instead he is a very young child. This picture perfectly captures the eagerness of a small child in a setting and costume you would never expect a child to be in. It has a kind of old school feel to it with the sharp red bricks in the background and the retro popcorn box and top hat. In a sense it reminds me of the 1920's, which is also my favorite era. 
This picture was taken by G.O. Howell. I find this picture to be visually and meaningfully compelling because it seems to sum up an American mentality and mindset. You have an abandoned Christmas day scene with the crucifixion of Jesus on the television, neither of which no one is paying any attention to. We, as Americans, typically are trying to fly through life and we completely miss the purpose and lack the ability to appreciate things that others don't have.
This picture was taken by G.O. Howell. When I first saw this picture it affected me in many ways. What I like a lot about this picture is how it captures an innocent side to a country that can be somewhat wild and dangerous. This is really a picture of my future one day, in that I will hopefully will be working in India spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This picture is also eye opening in terms of how real the poverty is in third world countries, especially when compared to where we live.
