EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Toya Sarno Jordan, participants gather in solemn remembrance at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D. C. during a special Memorial Day Observance. The image showcases a close-up of an unrecognizable woman wearing a hat, standing amidst the urban cityscape and concrete surroundings. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of tribute and collective participation as people from all walks of life come together to honor the more than 400,000 servicemen and women who sacrificed their lives during World War II. With creative use of depth of field, the silhouette-like figures stand out against the backdrop while others remain out of focus, symbolizing both individual reflection and unity. As sunlight filters through the air, casting an ethereal glow on those gathered, it serves as a poignant reminder that even within bustling city life, moments for contemplation and reverence can be found. The composition offers ample copy space for viewers to reflect upon their own connection with history and pay homage to those who have fought for our freedom. Toya Sarno Jordan's skillful capture not only portrays a memorial event but also evokes emotions tied to remembrance and gratitude. This photograph is a testament to how nature meets human-made memorials in order to create an environment where we can collectively collect memories while honoring those who made ultimate sacrifices for our nation.
