ARTICLE 9
"Yes, looks do matter"
Susan Boyle- Scottish sensation.
Most of us have heard of Susan Boyle. Before we heard her sing, we perceived her to be an older, cat owning, very ordinary lady. After she sang, we kicked ourselves for being so shallow. This article describes how stereotyping is something that is impossible to avoid. In earlier times our brains used this mechanism to decide whether a person was dangerous or not, whether they had good or bad intentions. We still do this, but today it seems we use this survival trait for more shallow reasons- to decide if someone is worth our while. Are they pretty? Are they popular?
We even use stereotyping to decide who will or will not help us in attaining long term goals.
All in all, stereotyping is not something we can help... or should help. We are born with it.

ARTICLE 8
"Stubbornly Practicing His Principles of Photography "
Danny Lyon is known for his hippie-esque lifestyle and photography. He was born to a an upper middle class family and always wanted to get away. By the time he was twenty he did so. He spent time in jail with protesters next to the cell of Martin Luther King junior. He was a bike rider, a rebel. He's always wanted to photograph things or people who seem to be unwanted by society. For example he spent a year photographing from inside the Texas prison system befriending criminals, making relationships with these people. One close tie he made was with a rapist. It is because of these types of projects that he has been known to "idealize" people who are not "good". To this, Lyon says... who cares. Basically. He is known though, to have a huge heart, a good conscience. He's received many awards and written many books. His down to earth lifestyle remains as he turns down almost all paying assignments and keeps to himself...
Good article. Read it!

Article 7
" The Pop of Warhol (Jazz & Rock too)"
This article describes how the unique style Andy Warhol displayed in his popular works is reflected in the early album covers he designed. He disigned covers for different bands from different genres including rock, pop, and jazz. The famous banana we see in his recent works is based on a cover he did for the Velvet Underground. This article basically tells of his transition from "commercial illustrator to museum artist. "

Self Portrait Influences
I want to emulate Van Gogh's use of color. I think it would be fun to include a lot of intense color yet maintain a simple self portrait.
I know this one by William Klein isn't a self portrait, but this photo attracts me so much because of the intense contrast and use of line. I want to include this style in my self portraits.

I absolutely love these leg portraits by Jena Ardell. Each one tells a lot about the subject. I want to emulate her style of using parts of the body.
I had never heard of Nicole Cawlfield before this assignment. I found some of her work at bluegalleryonline.com. I love these portraits because of the quirky positions the subjects are in.

"44-year-old Indie Film Distributor Closing"
Mr. Talbot's (didn't see his first name mention anywhere...?) company, New Yorker Films, "one of the most influential distributors of foreign and independent films", is closing after 44 years. This economic crisis is affecting every single aspect of American society. It saddens me that people are auctioning off their valuable art, New Yorker Films is closing, and well... it seems like everything is closing. Mr. Talbot had to let his company go at 82 years old. He considers these films "babies". He explains that he nurtured these films. He is responsible for introducing Americans to SO MANY foreign and independent film makers. And after all his hard work and effort to culture this society.... this is how it ends. Sad.

Article 5
"The Cellphone, Navigating Our Lives"
The cellphone. Bringing people closer to the ones who matter most.
The cellphone. Creepy.
(cellphone... one word?)
This article compares the cellphone to a map. More and more, cellphone users are using their devices as maps through use of mobile GPS and other map technology. Google has very recently produced a program called Latitude: used for finding the location of old friends, family members, etc. This may seem normal to us, but most of the elderly population would find this an invasion of privacy. Why don't we? Probably because our generation is accustomed to sharing personal information (at the entire world's desposal) through Facebook, MySpace, and other like sites... we even call these things "communities". It's really strange when you start to think about it. We are the first generation of 20 year olds who accept and even prefer to use a machine as our main source of information. We love our iphones. We love our TV. We love love love technology.
But when will it stop? It makes me feel uneasy. What if in 10 years I'm sitting at home and my neighbor runs over and says, "HEY! While I was on vacation in Italy I noticed those mashed potatoes you ate for dinner two days ago at 6:07-6:25 p.m. Can I get the recipe, they looked SWEET." You know? What's coming?
I experience extreme contradiction with myself when I think about it. First thought: technology freaks me out. Second thought: what am I talking about? I freakin' LOVE technology. (Really, I do.) Third thought: It doesn't matter what I think.

Article 4
"Artist Sues The A.P. Over Obama Image"
What a mess.
Long story short:
Freelance photographer, Mannie Garcia, took a picture of President Obama for the Associated Press (AP). Then, artist Shepard Fairey (who is a very cool artist, based on artwork and character) used this image as a basis for a now very famous creative portrait of Obama. SO. The AP has taken Fairey to court because they claim they own Garcia's original image by copyright. WELL. An astounded Garcia caught wind of this and claimed that HE owned the picture and was proud of what the image has become stating, “I don’t condone people taking things, just because they can, off the Internet, but in this case I think it’s a very unique situation. If you put all the legal stuff away, I’m so proud of the photograph and that Fairey did what he did artistically with it, and the effect it’s had.”
So, who's right here? Sounds like the AP just wants money. If money weren't involved, I don't think there would be any problem. I mean the photographer of the original image doesn't even care and is actually happy about the way the image was used.

Article 3
"In France Ads Aim at Heart, Not Wallet."
This article was SO interesting for me as my major is Art Direction. It included a bit of advertising history from different countries and explained how ads all over the world are different based on culture. It mainly focused on French advertisements and Parisian culture.
President Nicolas Sarkozy banned commercials from four stations to improve programming. If OUR president were to ban commercials, we would all be thinking, "WHAT?!?!" But as this article explains, "American commercials go from the head to the wallet, British ones from the head to the heart, French, from the heart to the head." Commercials didn't start airing in France until 1968 because the French felt that ads were sleezy and corrupt. They were seen as tools of manipulation. There, it is forbidden to bash competitors and those "CALL THIS NUMBER NOW" are illegal (except in very special situations). Commercials in France are extremely liberal and really do seem to target the free spirited hearts of French citizens rather than their wallets.
In France, ads are seen as a true artform and in this article are compared to literature and music.
Another reason why I should move to Europe after college. =]

DISASTER
I went to WalMart to print out pictures. I had 1083 pictures stored on my memory card, including the pics from Cooper. Somewhere, somehow between the camera, the memory card, and the machine, I LOST ALL MY PICTURES. Yes, yes I know, doesn't that make you sick? I'm hoping it was just a setting that got switched or something. But last night I put my memory card in my computer to check and it said "0 files". So for now, I have no pictures to post.

6... or more.
I checked out a few books at the library and would LOVE to post the artists' names, but I left the books in my mom's office at school. =/ So I'll be posting those tomorrow. Some of the photographers I learned about and liked through the internet include:
Duane Michels-love his series type work where a subtle difference is made in each frame, resulting in a totally different picture.
Martin Kollar-his series "Nothing Special" contains pictures where the buildings in the background (very geometrical) are taking up most of the space. Other pictures in the series are very ironic and humorous.
Michael Kenna-reminds me a lot of Ansel Adams. Very dramatic yet simple. Extreme value difference.
Richard Avelon-was a photojournalist. photographed elite government, media, and labor officials and juxtaposed these images with counterculture activist, artists, etc. His pictures are full of familiar, sometimes awkward facial expressions. I like him more for his creative ideas.
I'll add the others tomorrow!

News article 2
This article wasn't about any current events. More like a "here's a few tips" article. Very useful for shooting in the cold weather! Interesting I found this b/c the other day I left my camera in my car and when I took it out to snap some pictures, it read, "camera temperature too low".... I thought to myself, "WHAT!?"

News article 1
So the switch to digital has been delayed to June 12. Thank goodness, because there were so many questions about the whole thing on so many different levels it was making ME nervous, and I don't even care!
What will the elderly do? Will station ratings go down because of the confusion? Why did Hawaii already switch to digital last month? What about the coupons, the converter boxes, etc.?
The Nielsen Company estimated that about 6.5 million households still don't have TVs equipped for digital. But, will this delay confuse people further? Despite the extension, will people still be confused. I'm getting confused just writing about the whole thing.
The point is, whether we like it or not, THE SWITCH IS COMING. June 12.
