Best Showing of Unity in NY Times Lens: Documenting the Blues in The Mississippi Delta

Unity is best displayed in photo 22 which shows Joe Cole in Coahoma County holding a guitar. He is standing in front of a long empty road with a large amount of plant life on one side and just a few bland looking ones on the other. Joe Cole's solemn look along with his posture creates a harmony with the long barren road and the plant life on either side and makes this photo look complete.
