Huie's Photography
This photo by Wing Huie posted on his website, www.wingyounghuie.com , is a photo of two young boys sitting next to each other. One is white, one is black. They are leaning up against a tree with their bikes sitting next to them, looking a little worn out, but smiling. The kids look happy, the feeling you get as a kid being around friends. This photo looks a little older, considering both the cars in the background and the clothing on the kids. This could also be an indication of the socioeconomic status of the kids, and the neighborhood they're in. Just because the things look a little older, doesn't mean that they are necessarily in the past. It's definitely a possibility that they are just hand-me-downs from siblings or relatives. I n the photo that I chose, Huie presents the concept of "othering" through the use of two boys of two different races. He makes us feel nostalgic for our own childhoods riding around as kids on our bikes and being around friends....
