Ari Marcopoulos, Still From Detroit, 2009

I chose this image by Ari Marcopoulos because it is very interesting to me. After reading about him and his work, he likes to document American life (he is from Holland) in an untraditional way. He said he likes to show rebellious skaters and snowboarders and show underground musicians. He photographs the rebellious youth.





Kate Gilmore, Still From Standing Here, 2010







I chose this image from Kate Gilmore because it is a loaded image. In the reading about her, it says she does work showing female struggle and displacement. In this work, she is wearing very feminine clothing (a dress, heels, ect.) and she is kicking and punching holes in the sheet rock and climbing it.







Tam Tran, Battle Cry, 2008











The composition is what caught my eye about this work. In this work, Tran photographed her nephew acting as a super hero, acting out childhood fantasies. I found this interesting because childhood is an important time in our creativity, and she captures it in this series.

:::my Images:::















i chose this image of mine because i really like architecture. I love how the light is creating contrast in the beams and i like the pattern created from this.




















This is am image from my roadtrip. I love it because of the silhouette of my friend Zach is in contrast to the beautiful blue skies. This was my view for 15 hours, but somehow, this image makes my view seem better than i thought it was.



















This image is, you guessed it, from my roadtrip as well. I really am pleased with this image because it captured an excited moment in time. This trip was quite the experience for me because i had never been to anything like it before, and it was great to capture the people there, like this one of my boyfriend, in that one moment of utter excitement.
