2. I responded most to the pictures by Weston. Even though they didn't personally touch me, I thought it was so beauty how Weston took close up pictures of the vegetables in their natural form.
3. I loved the picture of the old boot by Gedney. I thought it would be cool to do still lifes of different kinds of shoes, some new, some old, some for little kids and older people. I thought it could be interesting to take the shoes in their natural setting just as people threw them down or placed them.
1. i responded the most to mandoz, letinsky, and robert mapplethorpe.
2. robert mapplethorpe's close up pictures of flowers seemed so classicand pure and had a certain mood to them. out of the 3 his pictures "moved" me the most.
3.i really liked the dutch still lifes with the drapery and beautiful things, and i think i would like to play off that idea except using packaged food or fake flowers, something that represents our "modern" culture and contrasts with the beautiful dutch assortments of fruit. i also would like to use a medium format camera.
one. i responded to shore (the table at the diner), whaley (harvest: the fall, etc.), and fischli/wiess (improvisation, etc).
two. out of these, i liked shore's picture of a meal set at a diner. it was very nostalgic and reminded me of being a little kid.
three. i want to try to do some photograms that will emulate the classic still lifes using silhouettes, or use the camera where it has two frames per negative to chronicle a still life as it is created/rearranged/destroyed.
1. i most responded to Haxton, Schrager, dugdale, and Madoz
2. i responded most to Schrager. Each time pictures that he has done come up during slide shows, it makes me happy. i love the way he uses shallow depth of field and color to make books into abtract forms. i could continue talking about the literal way he composes pictures, but i think, ultimately, Schrager creates a mood that i am drawn to and that is what's important.
3. for my pictures i think i want to blue prints like Dugdale (if that's possible), but unlike him, get much closer in and take pictures of an arrangement of glass bottles with things inside, using water and natural light as well. I will foucus on framing to reflect the enclosed space of each bottle. This means that i will either need to borrow a telephoto or macro lense.
2.) I found William Penn's pictures of frozen fruit particularly moving. I loved the vibrant colors against the white background. Also I found Penn's modern approach to a still life intriguing.
3.) I really liked Davis' still life’s of office supplies. I was thinking of doing something similar to this by doing close ups of objects found in desk draws, and different things found around an office.
1. I responded to Madoz, Mappelthorpe, and sokolin
2. Sokolin's photographs with the old pictures and pebbles attracted my attention, with the idea and mood that it portrayed. The idea of remembering old memories, and putting them all together.
3. I would like to use a medium format camera, and capture the details of old objects that have important meanings to people.
I responded the most to the pictures that Madoz took. I thought they were absolutely histerical. I can't believe he found so many things to photograph.
I would like to do something along the lines of what Madoz did; visual puns. It would just be tough thinking of enough object to photograph, and to actually make it funny.
1. 3 artist i most responded to were Ueda, Mapplethorbe, and Haxton.
2. I connected most with Mapplethorbe because of the close ups of flowers that were classic and simple. When i saw them i thought "wow pretty".
3. My idea for the assignment will have something to with color. I was thinking of picking different colorful objects maybe fruit or flower and then using shape i will frame it. I was thinking of doing this digitally.
2. Out of the three, I personally connected to Madoz the most. Many of his pictures were almost deceptively simple, but it was clear that some of them took a great amount of effort to assemble. Some of the photographs aimed only to create beauty, while some were meant to be visual puns. The intersection of traditional themes of beauty and modern objects is something that interests me.
3. For my assignment, I would like to alter and manipulate familiar objects, as Madoz, Morrell, and Chervinsky did. I hope to take objects that people see everyday and change them to create an original and interesting image.
2. Out of these three, I responded to most to Goldes "Cleaning Water", "Almost Bubble" and "Puddle." The combination of water and minimalism was engrossing.
3. For my project I would like to incorporate the Hockney technique to create a chaotic, yet traditional still life.
1. I responded most to Ueda, Mapplethrope, and Robinson. 2. I especially loved the Robinson "light seeker" photograph, and the simple, pure, beauty and elegance of it. 3. I think I want to do photographs like these with the simplicity and purity. I like the flowers and fruit and classic still life subjects. I also really like that high key, very white light, and would maybe want to try and emulate that effect.
I liked Garber the most. His photos of people and the things that that mattered to them struck me as a great idea.
I was thinking of doing somethimg more like the Seven Communist Still Lifes... i'm not sure exactly what yet. I thought it would be interesting and amuising to do not-so-beautiful still lifes of public restrooms. ...yeah.
1. I most responded to Morell, Madoz, and the guy who took pictures of trash (forgot his name).
2. I most responded to the trash guy. To me, still life is about taking pictures of real life, and showing things in their natural form, even if they have been discarded or destroyed.
3. I wanted to go dumpster diving and find some interesting discarded objects. Then i would take pics of them close up on a white background, but make them somewhat spooky and ethereal using light, to show them in their natural form yet accentuate their flaws.
2. I found Madoz's work the most captivating. His photographs were extremely clever and I loved the way he was able to make everyday objects into visual puns.
3. For my project, I want to either alter everyday objects to produce an effect similar to that of Madoz or photograph objects with interesting shapes and textures.
1. i responded the most to Ueda, Madoz, and Mapplethorpe 2. I responded to the pictures by Ueda the most because the high key elements of the pictures which make them very simple but very pretty 3. for my project i would like to do found still lifes and just use stuff i found in the road or where ever -Sean Kostka
1. I most responded to Madoz, Berman, and Man Ray.
2.Of these three Madoz creation of "visual puns" stuck out to me the most. The pictures were strange but fun. They were more interesting then traditional still life as you are able to draw your own conclusion.
3. With the influence of Madoz I would like to create a few of these interesting parallels myself.
1. I responded to Golembowski, Penn, and Chervinsky. Their photographs all incorporated elements that I didn't easily understand (drawing on the negative, etc)
2. Of these three, I connected to Golembowski's photographs. I love surrealism (things that aren't obvious), and I love how he experimented with the printing process, not just interesting angles and such while taking the pictures. I connected the most with Ralph Steiner, though, because his types of still lives are the kinds that interest me to make.
3. I definitely want to experiment with the printing process. I would like to use a larger negative camera so that I could draw/scratch the negative. I love eggs, also, and even though I've used them a couple times before I'd like to use them (maybe with black string if I don't end up working on the negative), or something else with high contrast. Shadows would also be fun to play with.
2. Ueda's photos touched becuase it showed off the simplistic beauty of the flowers
3. I loved the pictures by Garber becuase i thought it was really original. People have objects that remind them of certain people, and my idea is to take pictures of those items and then the person as well
1. I really enjoyed Madoz, Robinson, and Goldes. Each found simplicity in something more complicated.
2. Madoz's visual puns kept me thinking about the piece longer than I originally intended, which is why it gave me a deeper impression.
3. I thought I wanted to attempt this with my projec, by taking relatively mundane things and making people think about them by inversing their purpose. Naked pants and soaking wet paper towels could be some examples.
i responded to Madoz, Letinsky, and Weston. the photographs by Letinsky had a very nice feeling to them with the natural lighting and the photographs done by Edward Weston were so beautiful and peculiar. He is one of my favorite photographers. I think for my project im going to still lifes of flowers but using some key themes from Letinsky and Goldes. :] that is all.
1. I responded most to the photos by Letinsky, Morell, and Penn.
2. I really enjoyed looking at Letinsky's photos because of their complexity. They had no central point of focus, and the backgrounds and perspective were strange, making you look twice to figure out what was going on.
3. For my assingment, I am thinking that I will either take photos of people with their most "valuable" object, or do something with color, like take all red objects in my room, put them all in a stack, etc.
1. I responded to penn, letinsky, and mapplethorpe
2. Most of the pictures i responded to were by Penn. I liked how he divided himself from the beauty of vogue and took something ugly like cigarette butts and turned them into an interesting piece.
3. I would like to try to do some Found photographs like Penn's cigarette butts. Mostly things that are rotty and old, like Penn's picture of the glove that had been run over by a car. I find that very beautiful in an odd, different way.
-The artists that i realated and responded to the most were Mike Robinson, Garber, and Whaley.
-The artist that got to me the most was Whaley, specifically "Harvest: The Fall". The picture was personal in that it made me feel anxiety and stress with all of the clamps holding up a tree.
-For my project i am still deciding between the violent still life (eg. broken glass, things that make certain feelings arise) and simple, everyday objects in points of view that that would make you look at it twice, seeing one thing than another (eg. school suplies like notebooks, or 3-ring binders).
1. I responded most to Sudek, Strand, and Chevinsky.
2. I responded most to Sudek's work. I love his photographs of eggs nestled together; I loved the absraction. Also, I believe I have seen work of Sudeks of flowers which I was emotionally touched by.
3. I was thinking I could do a humble still life, possibly a single rose on a totally empty background. This was the most emotional picture for me when we saw the slideshow (the one rose alone in the glass) and I would love to re-portray those feelings in my own work.
1) I responded to Carlies, letinsky, and Waley's work.
2) If I remember correctly, I really connected to the strange yet almost carefree feeling attached to Waley's photos. Pieces like "Cross Pollination," and the "Almost Bubble" were very entertaining and witty.
3)The nostalgic/rustic feeling of Carlie's work definitly drew me in. Still, for my project i would like to go in a kind of strange/ beyond beauty mixture for my assignment.
2. I responded Letinksy's pictures the most because I liked that she took the idea of the simple destruction of the "after lunch" classic photographs and updated it. I loved the use of color and light in the pictures and how the objects were simple but placed in positions (almost falling of the edge of a table) the gave the picture a disalarming almost surreal feel.
2. I would like to play off of Letinksy's idea of using lighting, color, and lack of a central focus in pictures to make a scene that would usually be simple and modern, interesting.
1. I most responded to Irving Penn, Mapplethorpe, and Goldes
2. Out of those three my, and the whole slideshow, my favorite was definitely Mapplethorpe's pictures of flowers. They were not only breathtaking, but I feel like I could honestly look and admire them for very long periods of time without getting bored or distrated.
3. For my idea I was thinking of doing a solitary item type of deal with a rose, using lighting in different ways etc. I was also thinking about using eggs or something else with interesting shapes and lighting.
2. I responded most to the pictures by Madoz because they were very well thought up and quite entertaining. They were just fun to look at and captured my interest more than the others.
3. My idea was to try and do something like what madoz did.
The three artists I responded to were Mike-robinson,Maplethorpe and Leger. My favorite was Mapplethorpe. I liked looking at his pictures because they were filled with purity and simplicity of the flower. They also looked very classical. For my idea, I would like to do close ups of flowers. After I was thinking of cutting them out and rearranging/ making a collage.
1. The 3 artists I responded to the most were Penn (cigarette butt photos/found objects), Barer (books with pages crumpled), and Davis (office photos).
2. Of these 3, I most responded to Penn because of the way he took found objects that would normally be considered disgusting and put them in a posistion of reverence.
3. For my assignment, I wanted to go with the idea of photographing books. This would include old books vs. new books, many books all together, single books by themselves, etc. The best place to do this would be the library where the supply of books is practically limitless.
1. I most responded to Hoflehaine(sp?- the guy who photographed Shakelton's house in Antarctica), Cunningham and Modica. 2. I was most struck by Modica's pictures of the insane asylum skulls. It was so interesting how these are not just objects, they are all that remain of forgotten people, they have stories that come with them, even if they are indecypherable. 3. As it seems unlikely that I will be unearthing any human remains in the near future, I would love to do something similar to Hoflehaine(sp?)'s pictures. I want to photograph someones life without them in it, as if they had vanished and their stiff remained as if would, aging with time. I would set up a house or rooms that wook lived in and as if someone didnt return, and make it look somehow off, and aged.
1 i responded to Evans (tools), Barer (manipulated book pages), and Cass (scribbles on a tea cup).
2 i really enjoyed Evans and his pictures of tools on a plain white background. the sharpness of the images as well as the silhouettes allow you to see the beauty in shape in form.
3 i like the idea of found objects as still life, and because i am moving, a lot of things that are normally hidden in my house are out in the open. it would be cool to take pictures of these forgotten/previously unknown objects and see what they reveal about my family/past.
2. I connected most with Weston's photos. The vegetables in his pictures were beautiful- almost erotic, with a certain human quality.
3. I want to take photos that look like classic still lives, draped cloth, bowl, fruit etcetera, but I will have the fruit floating around the bowl, possibly orbiting it in a surreal way.
1) I responded the most to Irving Penn, Garber, and Evans.
2)I personally connected the most to Irving Penn because he took objects that we over look in normal life as trash and disgusting and made us re think about our past assumptions and see them as something beautiful. His picture of the frozen fruit also not only evokes beauty but again makes us that a second look at our current life styles.
3) I'm thinking that i might want to photograph something that people normally over look but can be beautiful. im not quite sure what that is yet because i probably overlooked it myself.
1. I responded to Madoz, Mapplethorpe, and Schrager
2. I found myself extremely interested in the visual puns of Madoz. Especially the picture of the drain inside of a teacup.
3. I was thinking that I would explore the artistic and literal meaning of "still life." I will photograph dead creatures, mainly roadkill, in an attempt to combine the elements of found still-life and beauty and beyond.
1. I responded most to Sudek, Dugdale, and Gedney.
2. I responded most to Sudek because the pictures of eggs were eligant and in that sense beautifule. I also thought the pictures of random things piled up was interesting to look at because of the framing.
3. I would like to take pictures of things found outside. Much like those of Gedney.
1)I responded to the pictures by Weston, sokolin, and Garber.
2) I mostly loved the pictures by sokolin with the pebbles on top of the old pictures stacked. I thought the idea was very interesting and original and made you look at the picture and think about it's meaning.
3) For my project, i want to take objects that no one pays attention to and dont care about and make them seem important...by placing them alone wiht a white background and having a light hitting the object.
2. Of the 3, I liked Penn the best. I thought his use of frozen fruit was really cool in a modern way.
3. Even though I liked Penn's pictures the best, I really liked the idea of doing found still likfe's so I'm going to pick a focus, and take "found" pictures of that focus.

1. I most responded to Penn, Weston and Man Ray.
2. I connected most with Weston's photos. The vegetables in his pictures were beautiful- almost erotic, with a certain human quality.
3. I want to take photos that look like classic still lives, draped cloth, bowl, fruit etcetera, but I will have the fruit floating around the bowl, possibly orbiting it in a surreal way.
1) I responded the most to Irving Penn, Garber, and Evans.
2)I personally connected the most to Irving Penn because he took objects that we over look in normal life as trash and disgusting and made us re think about our past assumptions and see them as something beautiful. His picture of the frozen fruit also not only evokes beauty but again makes us that a second look at our current life styles.
3) I'm thinking that i might want to photograph something that people normally over look but can be beautiful. im not quite sure what that is yet because i probably overlooked it myself.
1. I responded to Madoz, Mapplethorpe, and Schrager
2. I found myself extremely interested in the visual puns of Madoz. Especially the picture of the drain inside of a teacup.
3. I was thinking that I would explore the artistic and literal meaning of "still life." I will photograph dead creatures, mainly roadkill, in an attempt to combine the elements of found still-life and beauty and beyond.
1. I responded most to Sudek, Dugdale, and Gedney.
2. I responded most to Sudek because the pictures of eggs were eligant and in that sense beautifule. I also thought the pictures of random things piled up was interesting to look at because of the framing.
3. I would like to take pictures of things found outside. Much like those of Gedney.
-sheera-
1)I responded to the pictures by Weston, sokolin, and Garber.
2) I mostly loved the pictures by sokolin with the pebbles on top of the old pictures stacked. I thought the idea was very interesting and original and made you look at the picture and think about it's meaning.
3) For my project, i want to take objects that no one pays attention to and dont care about and make them seem important...by placing them alone wiht a white background and having a light hitting the object.
1. I liked Penn, Mapplethorpe, and Weston.
2. Of the 3, I liked Penn the best. I thought his use of frozen fruit was really cool in a modern way.
3. Even though I liked Penn's pictures the best, I really liked the idea of doing found still likfe's so I'm going to pick a focus, and take "found" pictures of that focus.
