2- Me
“Finally, the most grandiose result of the photographic
enterprise is to give us the sense that we can hold the whole world in our heads.”
“To photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed.”
Viewers may not be able to see the
world outside of the kitchen’s walls, but her characters are trying to navigate
it all the same.
“I knew that I was making images
unlike anything I had seen before, but I didn’t know what that would mean,” she
told W.
Originally painters painted
self-portraits, and then she kind of blew it open with photographic portraiture.
I still like the idea of challenging
myself through the more hands-on methods, only because I think it’s more
challenging when you are limited.
Photography
is our new way to document our precious moments and everything we find it value
and want it to be remembered. Taking picture is not only for places or other
people but it can be used for selfies. Selfies are all about us, how we express
our feelings, mood swing. Our reactions and facial expression just change every
moment and in different situations, by selfies like Carrie Mae Weems.
I picked up one of Cindy Sherman because
she was having a deep look or maybe she was thinking about something important.
I can be just like sometimes looking into my life what it would bring to me and
what I am supposed to do with my future.
