BUSY BUSY BUSY
It has been a while since my last post because I have been busy busy busy!
The good news...MY SITE IS NOW UP!!!!
please visit it and let me know what you think - allisongrant.com
The bad news is that I made this picture yesterday morning at sunrise, and I think I am going to need to reshoot with the umbrella out further in the water. (Please excuse the poor image quality, I pulled it from a contact sheet.)
I also went to see Jeff Wall speak last week. He had several interesting ideas about photography, cinematography and artifice and spoke a great deal about the power of constructed images to draw on and pull forward ideas from past images, photographic or otherwise. I was quite disappointed that he didn't address his work from a stand point of social significance. Many of his images, as well as many of the images and artists he draws inspiration from, involve poignant social interaction that seems to have a social significance that Wall simply passed over as unimportant. In spite of this, it was overall a worthwhile trip to The Art Institute.
My new job is going well. Come visit me at The Viet Bistro on Devon. The food is amazing!
