Last week in the visit to the library I chose this book to read it because it seem pretty interesting. I actually did not have the chance to see a photographer's work in a book so for me reading this book and looking to the photographs was very exciting. The name of this book Japan 1945 and the author is Joe O'Donnell. This book is about how Japan was after the Pacific War. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Fukuoka, and Sasebo where the main cities he photographed in Japan. After reading this book I was shook of how Japanese people were leaving after the war. One of the photographs below shows a young boy carrying his death little brother the power that this image portray it really fascinating. Looking at the other photograph for me there are no words to explain how I felt after seeing this image. It was really hard to image the pain and suffering this fourteen young boy was passing. Of all the photographs I saw in the book these two were the ones that make a huge impact in my life because I really like Japanese culture, so seeing how much Japanese people had to suffer after the war was really interesting.
