This is a photograph captured by Richard Lam in Vancouver after serious riots spread throughout the city as a result of the tragic loss of their city team in the Stanley Cup. This image portrays a moment or serenity and passion while surrounded by utter chaos and tragedy. At first this picture looks pleasant simply because of all the bright colors and lights. However, that is not the case. After closer analyzation of the image, it becomes apparent that all those lights and colors depict angry rioters and police officers that are trying to control the scene. Additionally, the fact only the subject in this photograph is in focus but not necessarily in the middle makes it more private but prominent in capturing the essence of this special moment shared between this couple. This image illustrates the idea that even though there is all this fighting surrounding the couple, it does not stop them from loving each other. I feel as if the image is trying to explain that when you are in love, nothing else matters around you.
