Assignment #2

The artist I liked the most was a photographer. I liked his work because he had a wide variety of photographs. His range was from prom and senior pictures to elegant buildings in different countries. I think he was looking for work because he came up to me and asked if I knew anyone that wanted a family portrait done.



The photos I was most attracted to were the ones in fields. Some of the objects, such as a couch, shouldn't have been in a field and some, like barns, belonged there. I thought it was interesting to find such strange things there. The strange things, such as the couch, looked as though they had been in the field for a while and had even growing with its surroundings. The field photos and the other country-feeling ones reminded me of my home in Lancaster. I could easily see those woven chairs and old water pitchers in my house.

My pictures won't load from my phone right now but I'll keep trying...



The photographer I talked to said he did a lot of portraits mostly as a regular job just to make money. However, he really enjoys to travel and find these unique buildings and landscapes to photograph. I was going to buy one of his pieces as a present for my mother, but they were too expensive. I think she would have really enjoyed them also because she and the artist seem to share the same taste in photographs.
