Kylie Stillman carves books into things. Or things into books.

Ridiculous Car Photos

I found this article with a bunch of strange cars covered in things and made like things.  This one is especially relevant to this blog, I think.

Barry McGee

Garth mentioned him today in class, and I found a site for on eof his exhibitions.  The work he does is neat and I really like this one.  More images here.

Best of National Geographic 2011

These images are really neat and very powerful in their own way.  Also, animals are cool. Here are a bunch of them.

Awesome Shadow Art

This is some really cool art made with random objects and glass with shadows. Link here.

The Whimsical Street Art of Nomerz

This artist Nomerz does some really crazy and creepy things with old and decrepit buildings and structures, really inspiring and would make for some neat Holga photos I think.

More here.

And his site is here, all in Russian!

Reading Response 3: Holga

I really enjoyed learning about a specific type of camera and seeing that we were all going to use the same one to create projects seems like a really neat idea to see how everybody handles our similar cameras.  I like the idea of basically going with whatever mistakes my camera might have and seeing what I can turn out using those to my advantage.  The Holgas seem like a really cool platform to teach from and I am excited about developing and making prints with the 120 film and its image quality.

Reading Assignment 2

The reading was again quite informative and I really liked what it said about the perspective portions of photography.  The whole lighting aspect of photography has begun to enthrall me recently so this was a great read and I really enjoyed it.
