Comparing Orville And Wilbur Wright

104 Words1 Page

John T. Daniels captured this image of Orville and Wilbur Wright making history, flying the very first plane 120 feet. This image portrays a very clear distinction between positive and negative space. Although it is in black and white, it does not lack features. The Wright brothers and their plane are the clear feature to this image. They are surrounded by boundless, bare, open negative space. Orville is hunkered down on the lower wing of the plane as Wilbur watches his brother take flight in shock. This is truly a “one of a kind” image that captures a moment that changed our society forever.
