DOCUMENTARY IMAGE BANK 

I love this photo because of the emotion and memory that is shown in it. It shows a couple with a new born baby which is an important moment in someones life. Therefore documenting it in this way shows the proudness and happiness that the child has brought. 

I think this photo is very powerful in documenting society's changes over time (especially for children). This image shows three young boys who cant be over the age of 12 all smoking on th street which isn't as common now, However this shows that this kind of behavior was accepted at that time. 

This photo shows the bond between a granddad and his granddaughter. I think this is an important bond to document as people learn a lot from their grandparents. In this photo the granddad is teaching her to tie shoes this shows the help he offers her.  

This is a very powerful photograph that shows a man crying holding his two sons. I am not sure on the story behind the image but I can only guess that he has to leave them or has been reunited with them after a long amount of time. The fact that this moment has been documented means a lot as it appears to be a very important memory. 

I like the composition of this photo as it is three women all crossing the street but at different points. This is a well timed photo which reminds me of the 'decisive moment' whereby the women who are all wearing similar things are almost showing a sequence of events.
