Bebe and I - Nicholas Nixon





  When deciding which of these three pictures I thought was easier to talk about I was instantly drawn to the image of the couple, Bebe and I by Nicholas Nixon. The first thing I spotted that helped me differentiate the selected photo from the others was the coloring. This picture is in black and white and the other pictures have a bunch of other colors. Even if it was in color, it is the only picture that shows a mood clearly. It is easier to read the expressions on someones face than a lawn or a field.

  Bebe and I is a very interesting picture, to me, because it is a very hard picture to understand. The expression in the couples face shows many different emotions but overall happiness. Something that stood out to me was the lighting coming from the left side of the picture onto the woman, where it brings light to her wedding band. I assume that because of the title of the picture and the ring that the couple are married. Their facial expressions makes me believe that they have gone through some hardships, but their body language, where they both embrace each other, shows togetherness.
