The title of these photographs taken by Mike Brodie is called "The Cost of Freedom." The photographs were made from 2004 to 2009. These years have a lot of historical events, such as, the longest wars in the history of the US, the Patriotic Act, Hurricane Katrina and more. This was a phase where America and the economy became desperate and in despare. Brodie's photographs capture the economic hardship and the resection that the US went through during these times.
These photos look like something that would have been captured back in the 1900's. This just goes to show that America still hasn't gotten that far from its past. Compositionally, the images are rough, angular and uncluttered. They are straightforward illustrations for the most part. The pictures are primarily about hardships, however, there is a thrill and wit in the pictures.
