and like a regular ad, we won’t pay close attention to what it reads. Animal Cruelty has melted into society, we stopped noticing what isn’t important to us. It is more than just an animals life. it is ours too.

“The poor image is no longer about the real thing—the originary original. Instead, it is about its own real conditions of existence: about swarm circulation, digital dispersion, fractured and flexible temporalities. “
i chose this quote because it resonates with me as a person in society currently. we are constantly putting out what we want the people to see and the content we put out is what is most important and paid close attention to rather than the original thing. we build an image of ourselves for ourselves.

This archive series by Keith Calhoun and Chandra McCormick, spoke to me in many ways. These artists, both colleagues and life partners (married) collaborated on this series. After hurricane Katrina, these negatives were found. Though they were damaged, they decided to develop them. The overall feeling of the pieces themselves has a very nostalgic approach to them. Both feelings of positive and negative, they tell a story. The location of these collected photographs were in New Orleans. and although the main focal point is that these images are damaged, what takes place in the photos have deeper meaning. They dealt with a history of racism, neglect and shame. This goes hand in hand with the neglect of the hurricane that recently happened in Puerto Rico. Society has problem with neglecting what they truly don’t care about. It is rooted by racism, and the overall lack of equality. will it ever change? or will the neglect continue until it involves something society chooses to care about?

uncomfortable
When i was younger, i had this strange fascination of the dark and the unknown but i believe that was steamed from my fear of it. I was afraid of dingy, and dark places. Specifically the basements of everyone’s houses and closets that were open in pitch black rooms. I never understood what that feeling of fear was until my sister ripped off the hair from a brush and threw it at me yelling “SPIDER SPIDER SPIDER” and i cried and screamed at the top of my lungs and she laughed at me and called me a scaredy cat. That was the day i wanted to feel fear and watched multiple tv shows or horror movies with jump scare scenes. It’s addicting i guess.
While taking these photos, i tried to imagine myself in very uncomfortable stomach turning/heart dropping situations. Such as having my best friend wear my sneakers to make it look like i was the one dangling my feet off of the ledge of the studio which gave me severe anxiety to upload because of how much it looked like me. Or exploring quiet, very poor lit studio rooms with no students at 2am. This gave me multiple ideas of exploring what makes me feel uneasy. The feelings i had and the thoughts that were going through my head gave me goosebumps and made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I can understand why photographers and people in general have boundaries.
Putting this into perspective, being in uncomfortable positions is a part of being an artist. Sometimes you either have to take risks and create something beautiful out of it or put your foot down and not explore through your fears. This made me appreciate the fact that i understand what is and isn’t comfortable for me. Even though i was uncomfortable, it’s alright to step out of my comfort zone for certain things. What a great experience.

This photo in particular, did extremely well capturing the “Frame” tenet. Capturing both him and the setting, this photo gives a nostalgic feeling or as if i’m sharing that moment with him in that room again and to viewers, giving the sense of comfort and warmth. The photo’s warm greenish tones help give the illusion of an old photo (maybe from the 1980’s) and isn’t exaggerated in color. The setting isn’t too cluttered but is perfect for bringing out the object (him). This photo was taken in my grandmother’s house and it is very fitting on capturing emotion. The expression on his face shows he is comfortable and content. Although, i should work on taking different or wider angled shots to try and capture better frames as well as the other 5 tenets and also work on focus and exposure more, i captured the object very well in focus and tried not to take away from the background. The environment was detailed and helped to frame and the tones helped understanding and feeling the setting. I did not have to edit this photo at all, leaving a raw shot, this photo did extremely well from all 5 tenets, in my opinion.
