This photo, though semi-simplistic, provides the viewer with a family, and their story of survival. The focal point in this photo is clearly the people and their carts; it appears that their fleeing from Russia, in which the photo was taken. There is depth found within this photo as well, to the left of the family the viewer finds a long, empty pathway; this path gives the impression to the viewer that these people have a long, unfamiliar road ahead of them. The individual's faces in the photo are found to be shadowed, which contrasts with the brightness of the path. This is meant to illustrate the idea that these people are "every"people; this photo is to document the lives of specific individuals, but to illustrate the hardship the fleeing Russian's endured during the Soviet take over. Returning to the long, empty road; it seems that it is much brighter than the rest of the picture, specifically the people. This is to indicate that the road ahead is brighter than the turmoil they must leave behind.
