The object that I chose to study is a board for the game of “Pegs and Holes‚” which I found at the Museum of Fine Arts.

In “Willy Covari (Brazzaville)” photographer Daniele Tamagni shows a very interesting character in the streets on Brazzaville‚ the capitol city of the Republic of the Congo. Tamagni created a series of images all depicting men in Brazzaville who dress up in eccentric clothes that contrast the grey poverty stricken world they live in. The photo itself is very aesthetically pleasing. The photo shows a crowded street‚ with decrepit buildings and people in regular every day attire. The man who is the
