1. What attracted me and stood out to me about Klein's photography is the action and story telling behind the pictures. The raw faces and expressions tell a story. The way Klein plays with movement makes you feel like you are in the scenery and part of the photograph. The have an aura of elegance and poise that transports you back to a time surrounded by movement.

I see the stories of many different people. Some people walking slow with their shoulders hunched, others gliding across the sidewalk, bringing movement and speed to the picture. I see people leaning against grimy walls and shop signs flashing, as the sun sets over the silhouette of towering buildings.
I smell wafts of perfume washed out with the powerful smell of alcohol and cigarette smoke that overwhelms the busy streets at night. Smells of food leak from behind every restaurant door and fill the air with the smell of warm bread, fresh chicken, and warm desserts.
I hear the snips of conversation and the bustle of taxis honking. Over the occasional paper boy yelling, you can hear coffee sloshing in cups and purses jingling with keys and coins. The click of high heels over cement and metal grates rings through the streets and underneath everything there is a silence.
I taste the coffee that is sold from corner to corner, and the smoke in the air. I taste the pastries from the bakery down the street that are arranged delicately on my plate. The savory and rich flavors describe Klein's photography, savory, and bursting with flavor.
I feel the passion Klein had for his photography, and it's apparent through his pictures. The elegance and passion gives the picture an idyllic and romantic feel. Although the picture is cool toned with black and white, the pictures exudes warmth.
3. I'd like to do a poster about William Klein so I can really use hands on effort and create it the way I envision it, using his photography in a creative way to show it off.
