Alright, so I didn't do so well at this last semester, so here goes another shot. Im going to try a different layout that works for me. Im going to post the links of the shows that I am interested first and then talk about the works. So here goes:
I went through and looked at many of the different artists showing at the Volta show, but this was the image that really stood out for me. I have always been a fan of night photography. I would think lighting an iceberg would be a very impressive feat.
I am really interested by the concept of Elahi's work. According to the curators statement for the show, he was falsely accused of being involved in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. Since then he has been documenting himself and his whereabouts. Check out this website: http://trackingtransience.net/
I haven't been able to pinpoint what it is I like about Navid Nuur's work. I think I mostly like what his concepts are based on. I am still having a hard time matching his concepts to his actual work though. Here are a few more links to some of his work: http://www.fridericianum-kassel.de/nuur.html?&L=1 and http://www.dehallenhaarlem.nl/tentoonstellingen/verwacht.
My Photos
I have been toying with the idea of doing a project using only my cell phone camera lately, so here are just a few photos I have taken with it. They are not the best quality and that's not something I'm used to working with, but I hope that in time I will be able to use it to my advantage.
This one was taken while I was listening to a 3 year old learning how to read. I was fasciated at how much the pictures help her to understand and contextualize the words she was reading.
This is the same girl reading the same book with her mom. I just really love how the act of reading (understanding words) she is. She looks so captivated :)
This photograph was used as a form of evidence that I was actually on time for work.... of course on the day my boss was out sick.
