obama by peter yang
13/11/2008
i like this photo a lot … it was taken in june by photographer peter yang. there are a few reasons why i like this picture. firstly, i like the blue hues. the colour is really nice. the image also has good sharpness. but the devil is in the details: the sharpness around obama’s eyes, the guy in the background and the pacman chasing the apple logo on his computer.
the photo isn’t straight, which i like too. it’s a big ’screw you’ to pedantic perfectionists who are nitpicky about photos … but mostly i like the directness. obama is staring straight at the viewer … it’s quite an engaging image.
