This particular photograph is titled "Contrast &
Clarity." As you can see it is a portrait of a small
child holding a handgun to his head. The child
is crying and appears to be deeply troubled by
something. He is also dirty which may imply that
he is out on his own or in a very poor family.
Possibly no family at all, which could be a
reason for such great sadness. The photo is very
sad and even disturbing but this may be what
McCurry was going for. If so, he has done a
magnificent job of creating such emotions in a
viewer.
