Brock Minnich Assignment #2

The ArtWalk-in at the Bloomsburg Moose Exchange was one of the best was to spend a Thursday night in downtown. The ArtWalk-in featured several local artists and students, all of whom were incredibly talented artists which made it hard to just stand or even keep your eyes in one place. After venturing through the multiple rooms and floors that made up the ArtWalk-in, I eventually found an artist whose artwork aligned with the very artwork that captivates my own interest.

This artist is Michelle Yost, a member of Photo Stop- a photographer's cooperative whose artwork captures nature and children. Michelle started photography after having a bad experience with a cooperate photography branch, so she picked up her own camera and began taking her own photos.

Michelle's artwork captures scenes that evoke a feeling and mood inside the onlooker. The photographs in her collection that most captivated my interest were the more ominous ones that she took of landscape found around her home and those that were taken Eastern State Penitentiary. These photos capture a very mysterious and spooky side of our world, and continue make the onlooker think about the composition.
