Extra Credit

I went to the Annie O'Neill talk last Thursday and it was pretty cool. Annie made her away the room and talked about each portrait. The portraits as are just have a little tag that says the persons name and how long they've been working in their profession, but with Annie as a tour guide I learned so much more. One of her subjects was a survivor of the Hiroshima blast and lost his eye during the explosion went a pipe went through it. This man spent the rest of his life as a peace keeper and tries to prevent nuclear weapons from ever being used again.

It was also enjoyable to hear how she finds a lot of these people, and plain and simple she just asks. She was saying she would go somewhere to a town or neighborhood and just say, "Hey do you know anyone who has been working 50+ years at their job?" and then she would go where ever people told her. She said a few of the portraits were taken while she was on a vacation and a good bit of them were very spontaneous. She talked about getting the recommendation to go to a restaurant in LA where a waiter had been working there forever, when she got there the waiter agreed to have his portrait taken but by the third frame was over it and insisted he be done. I found this very amusing because the picture of the waiter was one of my favorites in the exhibit.

At any rate if you haven't looked at it yet walk upstairs and check it out before it is gone April 17th.

3 New Ones

Here are three new pictures I took over this past weekend. I think the least successful is the Astronaut but maybe someone will pleasantly disagree.

Copy Cat Assignment

For my copycat assignment I tried to match the style of Len Jenshel and his aquarium project with a pictures I had taken in aquariums. The first two images are mine and the second two are Len Jenshel's. I mostly just tried to make the water look as green and alluring as Jenshel does.
