This photo was taken in Waterloo Iowa and you can see a Fallout Shelter sign marked and stocked for 246 people. I chose this as one of my images because while reading Fat Man it mentioned that there were hundreds of these signs in the United States during the cold war that were put up by the Kennedy Administration.Site: http://www.civildefensemuseum.com/coreng/waterloo2.html

This is a photo of one of the many propaganda posters that were put up during the cold war. I chose this one because of the explosion and the bold colors. It has all the elements of a poster that would catch someone's eye and make them want to read which is exactly what the people who made these posters wanted.Site:http://faculty.umf.maine.edu/%7Ewalters/web%20104/104%20outline%2010_08.htm

Stephanie i like your pictures, they all were very well focused on our topic and they seemed to be high resolution. One thing i did however notice was that they are a wide choice of pictures and not many seem to relate or have a connection. I don't know maybe you have a game plan as to how you will go about putting them together but you might want to choose pictures that can be easily put together. You might want to think of it as choosing pictures that could be in a collage.
