Muhammed Muheisen


 Muhammed Muheisen, a photojournalist that specializes in wartime photography, has made quite a name for his self.  His resume includes notable accomplishments such as working for the New York Times, the Palastinian Authority and many notable pictures of the Gaza Strip.  I relate to his photos because he mixes human emotion with color  to create amazing stories.  The picture above was taken at a bycicle vendor where the boy shown above was purchasing a new tire for his bike.  In this moment, seemingly meaningless to anyone else, he captures beauty.  The contrastting colors on the wall, coupled with the lifeless expression tell a story of hope.
