Artist 9

Walker Evans
American, 1903–1975
 Gelatin silver print
I really like this portrait photography with the dark background bring out the foreground focal point individual. He’s white t shirt and complication bring out the photo with the background. The wooden on the right makes it look like a hardworking American
man. The black and white photo is right for this picture.

Reading 3

The End of Firpo in the World

Cody rides his bike around his neighborhood thinking he’s unstoppable and I think that he is two different people like ying- yang- Good and bad but bad is a very dark kid. A lot of profanity in this short story. It’s an amusing and funny at the same time but I also think of a sick sense of humor of grotesque images of Cody’s dark side of his imagination.

Yesterday's Sandwich
A creative project by photographer Boris Mikhailov living works today. Mikhailov images are of sex and beauties of plates that are stacked together. Pretty bizarre of how much he obsessed about his photography and art. However yesterday Sandwich is today’s soap opera of photography art because the story is pretty crazy and mist up of how it ended.

Artist #8

Andreas Gursky
Gursky's May Day V
(2006)
@ Matthew Marks.
About 20 floors filled with light. The longshot view is interesting because of how he ended up getting the whole point of his view. At a still shot of busy people all in a geometrical setting that show how small we really are. It's very puzzaling but very creative at the same time

Artist: Pierre Et Gilles

What I got out of this is emulated the Virgin Mary. I like how the focal point women image pops out like its 3D. The background of of pinks and blue with the the brown cave-like border motif. I really like portraiture photography and how this artist can make it look fantasy like. This image appeal to me because it looks very artistic and beautiful as well

Artist 6

Adam Fuss has some manupulating photography I think relates to some of my graphic art that I integrate with my photography. It looks like an e-ray motif of how the dress the looks like with the bright white with the dark black ground. It also reminds me of todays demo of scanning the hand when we turn off the lights. The hand scan ended up looking like this because the dark versus the light.

Artist 5

Matthew Barney

Descending Order : The Cremaster Cycle.

1994-2002  ( Series I think)


This is actually my favorite photo, I seen so far in this class. What it seem like its a series, but this is the one that caught my eye out of the set. I like how the focal point, or the man is wearing a grey suit that matches the background and foreground. It reminds me like an optical illusion motif. It also looks futuristic and the lighting is awesome that brings out the dark.  What also looks cool is the reflection looking g like a mirror image or when someone takes a picture of someone by the water to see both views upside down and the opposite. I never seen his work, but I remember one time at the UNM Museum I seen and awesome photo art that said CREMASTER,  so his name appeal to me out of all the other artist. I’m glad, I look, because Matthew Barney has a lot of interesting and eccentric work.

Artist #4

Artist: Todd Hido
Title: Fall Creek in Winter
2009
Todd Hido thought that it was strange and a wonderful kind of freedom.  The snow silenced all sounds; the air was still, with no wind.  With this image the light was warm and decorated on the new snow. Hido was walking with his camera, his feet were numb, and his cheeks where frozen and hurt. The joints on his tripod were hard to move, and when he touched the tripod with his bare hands; the metal was, so cold it burned that introduce this bitter cold motif of photography.

Wes Naman-
Tape Art:
Photographs Show Terrifying Smashed-Face Effect
So forget special effects, and makeup; all you need is to turn a loyal friend into a monster by using little scotch tape like photographer Wes Naman. Naman used the unassuming office supply to transform human faces into bizarre flesh mashups, creating a unique series both amusing and looking scary.
Naman stumbled upon the technique while wrapping Christmas presents with his assistant when the two began toying with the sticky medium, deforming the shape of their faces to the point where they can’t be recognized.  When Naman started, as a side project it turned into a photographic adventure as Wes Naman took on by capturing his friends in truly silly manner.
