  1. The first thing i notice when i look it these photographs is that they are all taken in black and white. The second thing i notice is that most portray sadness, especially when reading the captions below the individual photographs nearly all talk about the person in the image dying of aids or fighting aids, including images that themselves look fun or happy. The black and white images may try and represent an older time, when sickness and poverty were prevalent, it is showing us that even in places today this "old world" idea is still very real. The images clearly use pathos to effect the emotions of the viewer. Each picture seems to in itself represent an emotion, some are hopeful, others are desperate, and some are simply saddening.

  2. The photographer uses his photos as logos to make his audiences impressive about the life in Swaziland. It's very interesting that these photographs used black and white style. Even though these photos are colorless, it can be indicated from the pictures that the people live there seem enjoy colorful lives. Thus, the photographer may try to make his audiences concentrate on the content of the photographs, which tells the life in Swaziland is various, instead of how beautiful these photographs are.
