Blog review 3

3) The pictures are what really made me select this article. The first one with the man jumping out of a window really got my attention because it was intense and, well, surprising. This article was about a visual/video exhibit in Dallas that has an undertone of "Call and Response"the music that's played and in videos that are remakes iconic videos. The article made me feel a bit confused, like I had to have been there to really understand what they're talking about or the author just knows something I don't. Reading it I just felt out of the loop.

3) This article was about Meryl Meisler and her friend Judith DeLong taking pictures while they went clubbing to capture the night life of New York in the the 70's. What got my attention for this article was the title A tale of two cities: Disco era Bushwick. The reason it got my attention was the words "disco era", I knew it would be something interesting. Interesting was exactly what I got. I found it interesting because when I was reading it I felt like I was reading a movie about the adventures of two friends in New York.

Blog review 1
The name of this week's blog is Flak Photo. On this blog one particular article stuck out to me. It was called [hyphen] Americans http://flakphoto.com/content/keliy-anderson-staley-hyphen-americans. What got my attention was the title, not only was it the only one in brackets, but I felt like I could relate to the title. Like it somehow represented me.
This article was about how this artist would take photographs of people of various race, age, and gender then turn them into tintype portraits. The article gave some background information about tintype in how it's an American invention that's been around since 1855, but phased out in the 1930's. Ironically, the very reason it fell out of popularity was why photographer Keliy Anderson-Staley wanted you use them. It takes longer to develop because the image has to literally grow into the tintype, it also distorts the image, and everything is a reverse from it's original image. The purpose of doing this, as the article explains, is to not show "the truth, but a desire" and to "live their way" into the moment. I found this article to interesting because it really take photography to a different level of art, literally because it actually has depth, and also in an abstract way in that it alters reality into something more than what a regular camera can see.
