Double/Triple Frames

Name Poem

Name Poems

For this project, we had to take our names and write an adjective, word, or anything for each word that we felt represented ourselves as individuals. These could have been something that we were interested in, to a word that portrayed us. Approaching this project I tried to really look for things around me that showed the whole definition of the each word, but yet connected to myself and who I am.

SFMOMA

Exposed

In this exhibit, it portrayed pictures that showed people's lives in reality. Instead of having a

photo gallery in a large room, the images were seen in a video. The slide of photos really focused on

the what seemed to be the transsexual and gay community. It somewhat showed me who they are as

people in the world today. When I entered the room, it was pitch black and I thought that as the slide

began, it brought the audience into the picture. It really emphasized the scene that was captured.

Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson was one of the first photojournalists and he helped develop the art of

documentary photography. In his exhibit, his pictures really captured the idea of war and the problems

people faced from the world. One part of his exhibit that really caught my eye was Gandhi's funeral and

the announcement of his death. In these photos, I felt what the people of India felt because he really

brought the feeling of depression and sadness. The one photo I thought that caught my eye was the thousands and thousands of people in India trying to get on the train for the spreading of Gandhi's ashes. I felt the pain that was displayed in the image.
