Document Summary
5 soldiers looking out you have same pov: can"t see faces so it could be any 5 soldiers, must understand their pov to understand civil war. Waiting turns into anticipation: by sharing pov viewer thus gets seems feeling of anticipation, as if waiting for something to happen/ looking for something on the somewhat dormant camp. Tension: humanized by poses but can"t see faces, don"t have an identity, what they went thru just became a tag/soldier not a person during war. Well dressed as prisoners: dressed by union, take control of confederates, here are ur confederate brothers they are like us. Logs: destroying nature, taming it, mocking victory over destroyed land, rebuilding america, railway . Way they are all looking: directions of their gazes, none are looking in same direction, none looking at camera, what are they looking at, middle guy. 2 diff pov: way photographer wanted them to be seen. Orderly tents: sense of stability, but same time disarray.
