Blog 3: Photo Analysis

In this image some of the things that I see are Nancy Reagan wife of former President Ronald Reagan, officers, and people. Nancy Reagan and the people look on as former President Ronald Regan’s casket is transferred by the officers onto a horse-drawn. This image is taken to show the emotions of the people and Nancy Reagan as Ronald Regan’s casket is being transferred onto a horse-drawn. The setting of this image is taken at 1600 Constitution Avenue near the White House. The season this was taken place was in the summer time. This image is candid because this was taken place on June 9, 2004.

From my point of view, I see depressing and downhearted. This makes me feel depressing, but at the same time I feel great that a lot of people were there to honor Ronald Reagan. This also makes me feel that this is how everyone should act to honor and help others, instead of violence and hating one another that is happening around the world.

Some of the things I know about this event is that Ronald Regan died of pneumonia on June 5, 2004 at his home in Bel-Air, California. After the state funeral in Washington that drew leaders from around the world, he was buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

I think the photographer intention was to let us see from a distance to see the emotions of the people and Nancy Reagan. By taking this image from a distance the photographer was able to show a wide image of the things that was happening as former President Ronald Regan’s casket is being transferred by the officers onto a horse-drawn. I think when other people see this picture they will feel the same as I do, depressed.
