I'm on a hunt for interesting photographs, paintings, drawings, PSAs, images in general, and, perhaps, even short YouTube videos that I can collect together and give to my 101 students as choices to write a rhetorical analysis on. (If you're not up on your Aristotle, this is essentially a 1,000-word explication of what argument you think the image is making and how it's making it via subject matter, composition, color, pathos/ethos/logos, etc. etc. etc.)

Anyone got some favorites I can add to the list?

Current ones I'm considering are:
- this photo of New York, New York in Las Vegas
- Lange's "Dust Storm at the War Relocation Authority Center..."
- at least one William Wegman photograph
- Tim Davis's "Searchlights"
- one of Layla Essaydi's Converging Territories series
- Roe Ethridge's "Great Neck Mall Sign"
- #2 (both images) in Yeondoo Jung's "Bewitched" series
- Florien Maier-Aichen's "Untitled (2005)"
- others I can't find online, but which are in a book called New Perspectives in Photography (I particularly like an Anna Gaskell photograph that's sort of a modern take on The Wizard of Oz)

Yay! As soon as I read the description of your assignment, I thought of the stats pics. Then I just had to find it! Thank goodness my mom keeps all the "interesting stuff" she posts at school!
