learning the ropes: old Havana 2009 david laFevor

              I find this work of art inside the art building on the second floor at Tennessee State University. Its black and white photograph taken by Dr. David LaFevor. “learning the ropes” is interesting work of art. The photograph size is small. It taken on old town for man teaching child boxing.

              Dr. David LaFevor uses his photographs to connect with the viewer emotions. He want to show struggle and strong in the same way in “learning the ropes”. The way he took the pitcher of the old man and the old fissure walls shows poor. But when you see to the child eyes and the old man teaching him boxing viewer will feel strong.

              I really appreciate this work of art. It make me feel it in my hart even though its not talking its just photograph. I feel sad when i see the struggle in the face of the old man and how its hard to be poor weak. also I feel positive when I see the look in the child face like he telling his father all things will be good.
