Elliott Erwitt- Jeanne


This is a photograph taken by Elliot Erwitt, titled "ARGENTINA. 2001. Valdes Peninsula."  I like this photograph because of the juxtaposition of the crucifix next to an advertisement for Pepsi.  It shows how consumerism is taking over every part of our lives, including religion.  I like how the sky is dark in the background, and these are the only two objects in the frame.  By showing this in a desolate area it evokes more thought and emotion.
