I understand we have already seen this photograph in class. However, seeing it the second time I knew that I wanted to elaborate further on this image. I am already informed that Mr. Slovik had to position himself very high up from the ground and literally drenched the pavement in water to obtain the certain image he captured here and had two men lie flat on the ground with a heart in order to get this shot. I can honestly say I am impressed and very intrigued by his creativity and by his work. He takes these images of black and white content to a whole new level.
The message given by the photograph speaks strongly and is tied exactly to the title. It seems as though the men in this image are running either away from the figure or towards the figure with his heart. It can be seen as either they are stealing his heart, saying that healthcare has a negative impact, or that they are replacing his heart conveying the message that healthcare is healing.
I still find this picture fascinating looking at it a second, third, and fourth time. This is what I think composes of a good photo. My hats off to Mr. Slovik.
