• Choose one photo essay from his gallery to look through:
• What was the photo essay about?- I did the Deeds of War
• What was your favorite photo in the essay?- I really like the photo of the clergyman going to Pop John Paul II's funeral during war.
• Why was that one your favorite?- I think that it was interesting because even though there were all of these sad concepts (war and death) this one man is still going to a funeral. I also like how this picture, like the others aren't posed and are a moment in time.
