Joel Sternfeld, an American photographer best known for capturing memorial landscapes (places where something tragic occurred). Many of his photographs capture the emotions and severity of the events that occurred in these places. Sternfeld’s 1993 image Gibson Street is a prime example of an image that captures these things. In this photograph Sternfeld captures the spot where Christopher Harris was shot in 1991, and he connects this event other issues that were happening in America at the time. Through photograph’s compositional arrangement, the apparent vacancy, and the color pallet of the image, tragedies that occur in inner cities and other places of poverty are displayed.
