The poem-War Photographer has certainly invoked feelings of sympathy and anxiety towards the innocent people who were dealt with the negative outcomes of war.the tone of the poem has certainly invoked this feeling in me as the tone of the poem is rather solemn, and heartfelt.this tone is rather consistent throughout the whole poem, thus it allows my feelings to be established een at the start of the poem.in the first stanza of the poem, we see how the photographer who is responsible of taking especially war photos, and how he feels upon seeing them. 'in his darkroom he is finally alone, with spools of suffering set out in ordered rows. this first two lines gives me the impression that he seems to be want that quietness that he is experiencing. it seems to me that as he takes the pictures on the war-torn ground, he's surrounded by the badly injured soldiers and the innocent civilians dying on the roadsides. yet, once he is in his darkroom, it has somehow become a place where he can slowly analyse the picture, yet feel the emotions the pictures invoke in him.'ordered rows', somehow tells me that the photographer is trying to brings order to everything that he keeps a record of, or what he interprets from the photos that he takes.the similie that is present in the fourth and fifth lines is that he treats his develpoing of pictures a job equal to a priest preparing to intone a mass, which is off high seriousness. thus,in this case i find out that he treats his job very seriously.in the second stanza, i find out that the photographer hands' "which did not tremble then though seem to now'. the 'then' refers to the time where he was taking the picture. the imagery that is portrayed here is a photographer who at the scene of the battlefield, who has to maintain calmness and his emotions as if he is overwhelmed with emotions, his hands will most likely shake, and he will not be able to take a clear, focused shot of the scene. however, in his room where he is able to express any emotions that he feels upon seeing the photo.thus, his hands start to tremble after seeing the magnitude of the damage caused by the war.the imagery portrayed here is a sense of calmness versus a strong wave of anxiety.in the third stanza, the photographer recognises the man in the photo. i feel a sense oif pity as the photographer recognised and remembered the cries of the man's wife. i feel very sad as i can imagine how the photographer had to use his camera to capture all the vivid feelings during the times of capture, and yet once he washes the photos, he has to deal with the emotional trauma once more.lastly, i feel that in the fourth paragraph, the editor picks out from the hundred pictures, also known as agonies five to six pictures. it seems very much as a matter-of-factly thing.'he stares impassively where he earns his living and they do not care'.the imagery portrayed here is somewhat a 'heck-care'attitude, impassively refers to "without emotions". thus,the editor does not sympathise with the sufferings that is portrayed using the pictures. as the saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words. thus, these people treat all the photos with an indifferent attitude, choosing to notcare about the people living somewhere out in this world, yet suffering due to the consequences of war.the whole poem is in the present tense, thus it signifies and allows me to feel that the passage is very real due to the fact that i feel that the war is concurrently going on at this moment of time, and yet we are living in such a comfortable environment, free from senseless killings and continuous explosions.this just enables us, the readers to be overcome with grief and sorrow and anxiety for the people and what they are going through now.though this poem was written int he year 1955, we, as the reader somehow feels that the poem is very real. thus, all in all, the tone of the poem is very solemn. and it's aim is to allow us to look at the perspective of the photographer,cause many a times we are all so interested and overly-exposed to the victims themselves.we are never asking ourselves, about how the photographer was feeling or how it felt after re-viewing all the pictures. this poem clearly shows us all the emotions of the photographer. thus, i can say that this poem is highly successful in invoking our sense of anxiety to how the photographer must be feeling, yet we feel sorry and pitiful for we see the painful final moments of death.
