January 25th 2011

Paul Strand, Wire Wheel, taken in 1917. Located at the MET.

I chose this image based on line, form, contrast and my own fascination for automobiles.


Wang Qingsong, When Worlds Collide Located at the International Center for Photography.

I went with this image based on the interesting messages that can be interpreted, the "business" and interesting lines moving the eye around the image.


Damien Hirst, Lycaena phlaes, 2009-2010. Located at the Gagosian Gallery.

I was drawn to this image based on the sharpness of the subject matter and the nice use of depth of field illuminating any distractions in the background, creating nice soft colors.


For my own images I chose three images from a current on going project. These three images were taken in December of 2010. The series is "There Just like us".
Ty Giebel, Love in the Park, Dec. 2010.
This image allowed me to deal with the humor of two stormtroopers and the fondness they have for one another.


Ty Giebel, Break Down, Dec. 2010.
My vision  allowed me to interpret how they get down in the "hood".

Ty Giebel, HitchHiker, Dec. 2010.
People are willing to do almost anything if there having a hard time in life...
