Steve McCury

Steve McCurry is famous for photography. His photos are almost always showing the face but mostly the eyes. His photos show human struggle through wars. Steve McCurry was born in 1950 in Philadelphia. Before he wanted to peruse his dream of photography he wanted to be a filmmaker.



This is a photo of a boy working in a sweet shop. What stands out for me is how he is not playing with other kids. Kids have the right to play and run around and I don’t understand why he doesn’t have the opportunity to be like other kids. I think McCurry is trying to emphasize the fact that there are many kids that don’t get to experience their childhood like you and I. They work very hard. The boy is frowning to show that he is not happy working in the sweet shop.

Power of the void

The International School of Kuala Lumpur provides an exceptional education that challenges each student to develop the attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding to become (silence) a highly successful, spirited, socially responsible global citizen.

I feel that adding a silence after the word become creates the best tension. When you add a VOID after become the audience might think that we might say something intense and leave the audience in a state of tension. It is a good place to put the silence.
