Matt Mahurin, Day 1:

Gays In The Military was taken by the artist Matt Mahurin. The photo shows a soldier walking in a graveyard. He is showing respect by visiting his soldier friends that have died. Matt Mahurin uses  foreground, middle ground, and background. In the picture there is a tombstone in the front closest to the camera, which would be known as foreground. He also puts most of the focus on it by using aperture. The middle ground consist of the soldier, rows of tombstones, and part of a tree branch. The background is the sky and a tree. Mahurin uses the tree and part of a tree branch as framing devices to help the audiences' eyes move smoothly around the photo. The photo is also kind of dark. This is because it shows the darkened state that the soldier is in because he has lost friends.
