Firemen, Eastside

I chose this image because it spoke to me the most. Here are three firemen which appear to be examining the remains of a burned out building. The firemen are dirty and covered in soot, they also look dead tired the one in the middle standing is using his hook as a rest as one of the other one takes a knee. When you first look at this picture one thing that did not pop out at me was the fact that the fireman on the far left is making a face. He appears to be frowning, but it looks almost exaggerated like he is fighting back tears. I think that he is fighting back tears here, which makes this a picture of three firemen in quiet desperation watching their city burning around them.
This really is a reflection of Detroit, with the city bankrupt they are literally at rock bottom with nowhere to go but up. Even though they are at the bottom they are still there and with the city collapsing these men have the hopeless task of saving it.
