from the met

looking at photo schools in NY finds

By Grace Yang.

this looks like a hotel tv. i feel like i am in a hotel. by c.g. watkins.

When I was little this is what made me happy. This is how I imagined my ceiling. Photo by: Grant Emhardt.

This is by Sarah Morhaim. I am drawn to this because that "yes" is so definite, so sure of itself- which is the opposite of how I am lately. If I could find big red letters that spelled out, "I don't know" or "I have no idea" then I would take that photograph. But never "yes", not right now. Good for her though.

A lot of the time I just want to build a fort and get away from everything. That's why I like this picture by Alexis Grise.

I like eggs. I like eating them, I like looking at their texture, I like their colors, I like how symbolic they can be. You can throw them at things. I think they are really cool, so does simon berg to some extent because this is his picture. I think I'll cook eggs tonight or tomorrow and take pictures while I do. They will be over easy on toast. mmm.

Two words: Tania Leshkina. She does some really beautiful intimate shots of people...like the ones I found on her flickr. (The last four I posted) But then she also has several lovely shots around her parent's house(The first four)...like I found on the We Project's page. I love how white so many of her shots are. I might buy a simple set of white jersey sheets soon, goodbye stripes.

At first this isn't that cool, but he(andreas till) had a whole series (shown here) that had that EXACT same horizon line. And I don't know why, but I really fell in love with that- how it continued throughout the pieces even though they were such different places. It made me think. Beautiful.

This is by Joelle Workman. I've been really interested in doing a piece like this for a long time and it was womderful to see someone I know do it really well. I guess I will have to get on that.

These are by iseloom, yet another flickr find. Clearly I am a sucker for windows and beds. Clearly. But this one is especially nice because it can be very hard to get a good exposure of what is beyond the window and what is indoors at the same time and she does it well.

These are by Les Brumes. I think they are all heavily photoshopped...a lot of his images are created only using a scanner, but I really like it anyway. The first one looks like all those German expressionist silent movies made right before WWII. I just wrote a paper on Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and it reminds me a lot of this. I'm into it.

These are by Tracey Emin. I'm pretty much obsessed with Beds, I think. And text.
If this blog has taught me anything about myself, it's that.

These are by Huger Foote, he studied under William Eggleston and I think his work is very nice.
The color and light look dead up like Eggleston, but he has a lot of images using reflections...although I don't think I included many (if any) here.

These are by Erin Roddy, she has pretty light and interesting subjects. She's pretty young and I like how her website is set up. When I get around to making mine, I think I like the idea of having the cameras linked to flows of pictures from that camera.

Those two are by Kelly Burgess, I stumbled across her and many others on http://www.theoneswelove.org/home.html . It's a cool project. The color is nice in her photographs, although the first seems a little bit too set up to me.

i love this comic so much.

I can't decide if I hate this or love it. I love the colors, the light, the aged scratches and things, however a lot of it is photoshopped....obviously....but she does a good job. I don't know how I feel. It's by Rosie Hardy.

These are by "krisatomic," a girl a couple of my friends showed me about a year ago. She lives a terribly glamorous life and is always posting pictures from fashion photo-shoots and tea parties. Her pictures are beautifully color-balanced...always nearly perfectly color-balanced and sharp. Every time I see her pictures I wish that I would always carry my digital SLR with me so my silly pictures of friends would look classy instead of like bad myspace shots taken with someone's mom's point and shoot camera.

by the lovely kerry griner.

Another flickr find. Please stop snowing.

These are by erin jane nelson's collection Girl's Don't Cry Either. She said, "Girls Don't Cry, Either" is a series of pictures made about the interim between adolescence and adulthood. Specifically, they deal with dreams and expectation of an impending new life. The majority of the images were made in the first person, or rather, were shot in the midst of these feelings and ideas from the time I turned 17 until I moved away from home."

This is called "Diagram #1: The gum I chewed every time I thought you might kiss me while your parents were in Ohio" I absolutely love the title, it really makes the piece. This is by Aaron Fowler, a boy who went to Manual. His Senior art show was awesome, but I haven't seen it online ever.

This is by tierney gearon. My good friend DJ Corney, who makes awesome things on his blog (check him out), showed me an article about her today. I hadn't been looking at anyone's double exposures for a while and it was nice to see a few good ones again.

I've been looking at asofterworld.com for years. I love it so much. Please look at it if you haven't already.
