"Change?"
This photo shows juxtaposition because it has taken the image of a person of peace and power (President Obama) and bloodied his face, which shows violence and some sort of conflict/disturbance. Furthermore , the fact that he and his family are enjoying a happy lunch together and everyone is smiling, yet his smile is bloody (which isn't exactly fun and cheerful; more disturbing), shows further contrast and juxtaposition.
"Crossroad Can"
This photo shows juxtaposition because the lines of the shadows cross in different directions, and are extremely contrasting. For the shadows are completely black, yet the line is white.
"Man's Best Friend"
This photo shows juxtaposition because the image of my father is rather "badass", and yet he is walking a tiny chihuahua dog; very opposite. The combination of the two is a bit absurd and rather funny.
"Roaring 2000's"
The juxtaposition for this image is a bit more complex than my last three images. The way that I saw juxtaposition in this image is that there is the image of a woman from the 1920's, which was an extremely prosperous era in our country's history, accompanied by the phrase "The Roaring 2000's". The phrase "The Roaring 2000's" is completely contradicting to the actual prosperity of the 20's, for the 2000's have been filled mostly with war, recession, astronomical gas prices, and large budget cuts. This view is taken further by the "out of order" sign on the gas pump, which additionally represents the recession in our economy and very high gas prices; the condition of our country.
