Library Assignment

(1)Peter Hujas - "A Retrospective"

-Leroy Street, 1983

-It feels like you're walking the street by yourself and it feels a little scary. You feel very isolated.


(2)Arthur Tress - "A Retrospective"

-Telephone on Bed, New York, New York, 1982

-Another feeling of isolation and lonliness. Feels like someone had left the room in a hurry.


(3)Edward Weston - "Portraits"

-Jose Clemente Orozco, 1930

-He has piercing eyes, it looks like he is looking right through you.


(4)Diane Arbus - "An Aperture Monograph"

-Child with a toy hand grenade in Central Park, NYC, 1962

-The boy looks crazed and you don't know its a toy grenade until you look at the title. You have know idea what the little kid is going to do.






(5)Julia Margaret - "Cameron's Women"

-She walks in Beauty, September 1874

-I don't really like her photos, they look too old and they ovbiously are.
