In this essay I will analyse each of these images, i will identify the binary oppisitions, the ideoligy of these two photoes and also their semiotics. i will also be notifing the true meaning to these two images. 
Image one looks like it was taken in India, the reason I think this is because in the background it looks like a praying house.. It is a focused photo, as you can most probably tell because in the distant there is a full image of a destroyed building with what i belive is a praying house for the indians, but right near the camera is misty leaves, this tells me it is a focused photo, which proves that the photo is a shot of the destroyed building, really looking into this photo and putting two and two together I think this photo is trying to tell the viewers a message, there is a religious church for the Indians, so there may be a religious message behind this, as the main image is of a destroyed building, so if you really think about it can be quite fascinating, the church and a building being smashed just shows that their god is trying to say something maybe. The weather seems dark and demy, bad weather represents sadness, so it could be that the people are/were forced to move out of their building/home or be destroyed with it. The crane proves that this wasn’t a natural disaster and it doesn’t mean at all that it wasn’t meant to happen; this photo to me is an image of nothing but greed and emptiness. The binary oppisitions of this photo are; high and low, because the crain is up high. another binary oppisition is religion and anarky because the church in the background, also natural disasters and man made disasters, because the building is being destroyed, which i like the most is diserted and populated,the reason i like this binary oppisition the most is because the building that is being knocked down has been deserted, and the town around it is really populated. i really feel that the semeotics are very effective, i mean looking really into it, you can see a really clear clue about what the photo is trying to tell us as a target audience, the fact that the prayers home is in the back ground, can mean that god is praying that we stop with destroying the world and smashing homes that used to belong to people. the editers of the photo could have taken out the players church in the back ground if they only wants a photo of the building be smashed, but they chose to leave it in.. the ideoligy of this photo really to me is that 'god' is trying to send a message his home being in the background represents a sign of help.
The second image was obviously taken in New York; the fact that the Statue of Liberty is the main image of this photo proves this. I think this image is very effective because the idea of the whole city being in black smoke to me is rather scary, and may consist of many stories behind the photo, looking at it very closely I feel one of the stories could be to do with danger and the idea of the whole big apple being destroyed. The binary oppisitions of image two are; smokey and clear, because the city is really smokey, danger and safety because the photo consists of danger, and the smoke conotates this. another binary oppisition is overpopulated and deserted because the Big Apple if overpopulated. the semiotics of this image is really is quite clear, i personally think that this photo was taken on the day that the twins had been forced down by airoplains, because that was a huge disaster as we all know and when they fell down there was a huge dust disiaster, this spreaded all round the city, so it took over the clearness of that day, i feel that this image is very effective to its audience because the fact the picture was directly taken of the statue of liberty, and the facty the image of the statue of liberty is clear and the rest has been destroyed, can nearly be a sort of miracle in a way, i mean these two are to me and many other residents the best two places of the city, that being the statue of liberty and the twin towers. so when the twins were knocked down, the only destinations well known for new york left was the statue of liberty.
Both images I feel share a few of the same denotations, they both consist of danger and population, also they both are high destinations, for instant the praying place for indians and the Statue of liberty. and they are not caused by natural disasters. and they are both extremely sadly effective...
