Magnum: Mark Power

The funeral of Pope John Paul II, broadcast live from the vatican. Warsaw, Poland, April 2005

I find this photograph interesting because of the use of space within the picture 80% of the photograph is given to the mass of wires and metal that make up the broadcast equipment. We as the onlooker have the opposite view from everyone else in the photograph, rather than Pope John Paul being the focus, the public is. Power makes the ordinary extraordinary just by changing the way we 'look'.
