I can see the finish line

I will include my own images once I have a chance to get them downloaded.

Unknown, Supporting the team: Well-dressed English lads yelling support for their team, 1930s
Unknown photographer:
Associated Press, London, England, Supporting the team: Well-dressed English lads yelling support for their team, 1930s, gelatine silver print, 15.2 x 20.4 cm.

Kids are great to photograph. They completely ignore the camera and go on with whatever they were doing. And they are so expressive. Not to mention this is black and white, and you all know how much I love black and white photography.

One Figure (Una figura), 2000.
Resina, pigmentos y espejo. 110×60 x 50 cm.

I feel like this a lot of the time. I so wish I could vanish into an alternate reality like the one in the mirror. This seems to have a lot of introspection in it. Really makes the viewer stop and think.

The Portrait Of The Artist As A One Year Old Child

2005
Print on canvas
107 x 149 cm

This image appeals to me because I am very interested in working with images on canvas. I hope to experiment with it this summer. I find this interesting also because the image is displayed upside down.

and here we go again...

I scanned my images in, but blogger hates me and won't let me upload. I'll have to try this again later.


Nan Goldin
Ulrike, Stockholm, 1998
Cibachrome print

I love how the white of the clothing highlights the baby, and the background fades away, making this child glow.


David Salle (American, b. 1952)
The Coffee Drinkers, 1973
Gelatin silver prints with affixed product advertisements; 20 x 16 in. (50.8 x 40.6 cm)


I love the idea of several different people doing the same thing, and then the use of advertising labels is genius. What a great way to incorporate collage.

I love the idea of this kind of sculpture! I could walk around this exhibit for hours and come up with so many ideas of what this is trying to represent, or what the artist is trying to say.
