Sign of the Times

This picture was taken from the Shutter Sisters photoblog. I think this picture gives viewers a good understanding of what Americans are currently feeling during these rough times. It isn't just the middle class or upper class or lower class, but rather everyone is facing difficulties during this time in history and everyone is in it together. This picture was taken of Occupy Wallstreet protesters. The first thing you see in the picture is the sign the lady is holding that says "We're all in this together". For this reason, I believe this picture could fit into the thing itself. Although the sign is not the only part of the photograph, that's the first thing you see when you look at the picture. I think this picture exemplifies Szarkowski's category of time perfectly. The photographer captured a moment of history. The woman with the sign and the man behind her are the two main objects in this picture, but the other protesters can be seen in the background. I think this picture does a good job of capturing an important part of history.
