About that thing with the Obama's portraits...listen



Portrait by Kehinde Boykin


So ever since the unveiling of former President Barack and former First Lady Michelle's portrait there have been some mixed opinions. Some people like them while others are thinking what in the entire hell...

For me I will say that I instantly fell in love with President Barack because I was familiar with the artist's previous work. Yet on the other hand I wasn't loving Michelle's immediately but once I saw the artist's (Amy Sherald) previous work, I could see that this style was nothing new. Furthermore when I found out that Barack and Michelle had picked the artists themselves I knew that the surprise was going to be on us and not them.

Stain Colored Thoughts Photography: Photography 2 class




Well last week has shaped up to be quite something. I completed my first assignment from my Photography 2 class (FINALLY) which were making pictures from pinhole cameras that we had to make. I used 2 cigar boxes and did two different shutter type systems. At first I didn't think I would ever get an exposure. Yet eventually with much persistence and cussing I have been able to produce 7 negatives and 7 prints. My assignments for project 1 are complete. (insert praise dance)
