Lenscratch Review - 09.24.2015

Lenscratch Review 

When I first opened Lenscratch, the very first article I saw piqued my interest. The article is titled "Meryl Meisler: Purgatory and Paradise: Sassy '70s" and the photos included provoke a feeling of mystery and certainly shows the familiar chaos that was Meisler's life. Throughout the article, Meisler discusses growing up and mentions purgatory, working as a GoGo girl and detailing the adventures of The Mystery Club couples. The entire article revolves around her life and it's interesting because to most, her life is very chaotic and she obviously has a lot to tell through her photos ans her book, but in her own eyes, there was nothing special about her life; when questioned by her professor, she replied, "This is where I come from" "These are my family and friends."

Glasstire Review - 09.17.2015

Glasstire Review 

Glasstire had many articles to choose from, but the photo from the article titled "Pauline Oliveros to Present Deep Listening at the Blanton" really caught my attention. In the article, Oliveros explains that "deep listening" as "the seemingly impossible task of listening to everything all the time." Her artwork in the photo seems somewhat chaotic and very "in your face." There's so much to look at that it's almost impossible for one to register everything in the piece, much like how we can't listen to everything at once. I love the idea behind her artwork and personally I would love to see more of it.

Favorite Photo - Scavenger Hunt - 09.04.2015

My favorite photo from the in class scavenger hunt! The photo is to represent the "something blue" and while it is several different shades of several different colors, the blue in the subject stood out very clearly to me. Furthermore, I love the way the light rests on the subject, which allows the photo to feel more "alive."
