Week 3 Post

 This week I went down to the “New Zone Gallery” on E 11th Ave in Eugene on Sunday the 28th. I originally went down because they had a train graffiti exhibit advertised but they didn’t have it up anymore because they were switching the exhibits for the next month. This is a gallery that exhibits art from lots of local artists. 


This photo shows a wall of different paintings from three different artists. Robin Marks-Fife on the left, Carolyn Bloom in the middle, and Joy Taubner on the right.  Robin Marks-Fife’s paintings are “Clouds over hte ocean” (Left up) “Baja Tropical Fish” (left bottom) “Sheep in the forest” (Big Left Middle) “Backyard on the coast fork” (Middle Top) and “May Roses”  (Middle Bottom). Then we have Carolyns Bloom’s painting “Sea of Dreams” (Middle ocean painting). Roy Taubners two paintings are on the far right with “In  silence we smooth the wave of thoughts” on the left and “Have a seat” on the right.


These paintings are down with Betsy Huffsmith painting “Love Rising” on the left and Steve Seals on the right with their two paintings “The art center in Springfield” in the middle and “ThistleDown farm market on the right.”


These photos are done by Barbora Bakalarova with her photo called “From the life of poppies” right in front. 


They seem to be changing up who their main artist is every month and have many different events that they do, the next big one is the “Zone 4 All” which is a Non Juried open to the public art show going on from March 1st through the 29th where artists with 2D pieces 36” that’s framed can pay $15 entry fee, per piece, that will be displayed in the gallery.  This final photo isn’t apart of the assignment but it’s the information for this event if anyone is interest in joining it.

PhotoStory

 My PhotoStory was at the Albany Carousel, primarily focusing on the stages of the carving process and how they create the animals that go onto the carousel. This is a long process that can take anywhere from 5 to 12 years to create a single animal. Since the Carousel project started in 2002 but carving started in June of 2003, they have put over 40 animals onto the carousel and it is still not filled up at this point. They have about a dozen carving projects that they are still working on down in the basement and they have two pieces that are finished and are planned to go onto the carousel this year. Each of the pieces have their own story regarding why they are on the carousel because all the pieces are sponsored by people or groups within the community. The out-most row costs $10,000, middle row is $7,500, and the inside row costs $5,000 per piece commissioned.  How they start the process of creating the pieces is that they sit down with the person sponsoring the piece and create a

Week 8

 This week I got to pick what I took photos of so there’s not much that connects all of the pieces except that I took all the photos on 3/2.  This photo i took is of some vines that we have growing on our deck. It was right when the snow was starting to met and was causing a small stream of water that captured the light from the sun really well. This photo I took outside the Albany Carousel. I think it’s a rundown train bridge that hasn’t been used in many years but im not sure if thats true but it made a really creepy photo in my opinion.  This final photo was taken at Thompson’s Mill State Historic Site which is located outside of Shedd. This is the oldest surviving Gristmill in Oregon. It was an old flour mill that was used during the pioneer times but other than that I couldn’t get too much information because it was really cold and windy.

Lynsey Addario Book Report

    I really enjoyed most of Addarios' early stories about her childhood and when she first started to work in the photojournalism world. My favorite anecdote of hers would have to be when she was photographing Madonna while she was filming Evita, and she was given a telescopic lens because I have personally been there at the beginning of my photography experience.      Her style is very unique as she both has photos of things happening mid-scene, but she also has portrait photos of people in places she has traveled. The photo that was a mid-scene photo that caught my attention was the cover photo that you see when you open up Chapter 9. It's clearly a scene she was witnessing rather than a photo that was a portrait like the photo of Khalid that's at the very end of chapter 9. But both of these photos share the same quality of that they are truly showing the reality of these places, leaving nothing to the imagination.      The idea that she is able to travel to all these hi
