Last week, my Professor Deborah Small showed a series of different artist and websites. I took a liking to the Visura Magazine and the different artist that it had. I liked the magazine because it informs you of different artist around and workshops. I ended up staying on Visura’s website for a while and was navigating around looking at different artist. One artist that I took an interest to was Joseph Rodriguez. He is an artist that works within social documentary, taking photographs of everyday life. He photographs people to tell their stories, so that we society can have a better understanding. He works a lot with the News America Media website, which is a website that is expanding the “News Lens through ethnic media.” The website lead me to stories on what my documentary project is about.
I love when I informed of new websites or new work. It allows me to see whats out there in photography and how different social mediums are being used. I enjoy being informed of new artist and new techniques. I feel as though it helps you as a person and as an artist. It helps me to become a better artist and really be in touch with what I can do. Sometimes school can be so overwhelming, but its classes like these that make me enjoy my last year in college.
