William M. Vander Weyde (American, 1871-1929)
The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia
Weyde took photographs that were strong and exciting and show traditional ideas and composition, content and style. He was willing to photograph things from baseball to executions, and they offered a fascinating look into the past.
The photo interested me because it reminds me of things people used to do to others in the past. The boys facial expressions make him seem like hes not worried and that he just wants to get it over with, and being electrocuted is such a scary thing.
This photo is significant because it shows a real thing that used to happen to people in the past when they thought or found out people did something bad or wrong, or maybe they even done it because of his color..
