Roger Fenton


Roger Fenton, The valley of the shadow of death. Dirt road in ravine scattered with cannonballs. LC-USZC4-9217. One of the most famous photos of the Crimean campaign. This photograph shows what seems to be two horizon lines merging in to one another and with this it leads your eyes to the almost hidden cannon balls that are scattered through out the road. This photograph has a very serious feeling.
