Photojournalism assignment

 Famous photo, The Plight of Kosovo Refugees



      This picture can tell more in a image than it can in any amount of words. This picture shows a 2 year old boy being passed through barbed wire to his family. These Kosovo refugees were reunited in Albania and this picture shows that there were people of all ages and sizes stuck as refugees. This little child, who probably has no clue what is going on, is being passed through borders of a refugee escape and through it all has a small smirk on his face. This is just to show what goes on around the world and is touching to see little children being a part of this and be in the midst of war. Some children are not as lucky to survive and cannot handle the refugee camps. This picture shows people the action of what happened and it displays the emotions of everyone around compared to the baby who is clueless enjoying being tossed from one side to the other. It goes to show that there is no dispair and people would do anything to save their children. This picture has thousands of different interpretations and no amound of words can describe the full feeling of this picture, especially to someone who has children and has been through a situation of trying to save your child.
