Hiroshi Sugimoto

Earliest Human Relatives, Hiroshi Sugimoto 

This photo may be a simple interpretation but non the less, an awesome photograph. This photo represents evolution. I like how Sugimoto combines family/love with the idea of evolution. I do not know if this was his actual intent, but it makes me think, that just like humans, love has evolved. Some of his other works have included animals, and most of his photographs, if not all, are black and white. The sharpness and lighting in his photos are remarkable. They are all so clean and have incredible details. I was drawn to this photo because I have been thinking about society lately. With the evolution of humans, also comes the evolution of society. These two animals in society have the "natural" anxiety, the worry and desire to survive. Now days we have people taking their own life. As hard as life was back then, was it as hard as it is now?
