HALF PAST AUTUMN

I finally had a chance to sit down and watch the documentary of Gordon Parks. I was blown away on how he had to face so many obstacles throughout his career. He had to face racism in Kansas and the lost of his Parents at the same time. Mr. Parks developed a new style of media. He found ways to communicate with his viewers in a totally different way. He took some pictures in Cuba, and it actually saved a poor starving childs life. He also brought front the hiden racial issue in America to the world. What he captured through the lenses of the camera were amazing. That is how powerful media is...
