Why Are Walker Evans Polaroid So Impactful? Personal Reflection  Sources: https://www.anatomyfilms.com/walker-evans-polaroids/ https://www.mutualart.com/Artwork/Selected-Images/42CE97E9136E86DC https://www.moma.org/artists/1777 Walker Evans (November 3, 1903 - April 10, 1975) was known primarily for his work during the Great Depression documenting the severity that the Great Depression had on the working class. He was hired by the government to document the moments of the Great Depression and he approached this very unintentionally with the shots he took but just to capture the moments. In 1973 he bought a Polaroid SX-70 and described it as how 'New Toy' which opened a new light into photography striping it back to the basics of capturing what you see. I love this philosophy of photography and so often I am bogged down by choice fatigue when it comes to settings, composition, and gear. Styles like this make me want to be the new Fuji x100v that uses film presets that are highly...

Exhibition Reflection Kort Woycheshin This was my first ever exhibition here at my time at the University. It was an incredible experience and opened my eyes to a lot of the intricate parts of setting up an exhibition. Generally I had never considered the layout of the exhibition other than gallery standard height and spacing. The formation we used for this lent itself to the wackiness of pinhole photography and the trial and error methodologies that imply themselves onto pinhole photography. We tried many different formations and near the end of it we started getting to the point where we would look at a print and decide where it fits based on natural intuition; I love this style of art when you make objective choices based on a gut feeling and doing things just because they look 'nice.' Overall the feedback I heard from the whole gallery was very positive and it was tons of fun to here peoples comments. I had lots of people texting me and snap chatting me pictures of my portr...

  Pinhole Photography Assignment Reflection Overall I enjoyed the assignment and felt that I learned a handful about the photographic process and gained a new appreciation for photography. My mind was blown by how simple yet complex a pinhole can be and that essentially anything can be a pinhole camera. The photos you get when using a pinhole camera have such a unique look, and I think that's what I like most about pinhole. The grunginess of the photos really leans itself to my style of photography; people often will use photoshop to get this look, but though trial and error, pinhole just does it for you. In conclusion, I would happily do pinhole again and think I could vastly improve upon my previous designs and photos with the knowledge I gained during this assignment.  "Where my eyes cannot go"  For this photo, I was inspired to try and replicate what it might look like if you could see through the world and everyone walked on glass. I had my subject on a ledge with on...
