Men's shoes with camera hidden in heel
© National Museum of American History Photographic History, gift of The New York News

from the exhibition:

Exposed

Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera

Tate Modern 28 May – 3 October 2010

in London

I chose this image because it is beautiful. I like that the shoes are well worn. I like the way the shoelace falls. And I like the reflection in the black surface and the shine on the shoes.

Alfred Stieglitz (American, 1864–1946). Fountain (photograph of assisted readymade by Marcel Duchamp). 1917. Gelatin silver print, 9 1/4 x 7"

From the Museum of Modern Art NY exhibition: The Original Copy 1839 to today.

I selected this image because: Duchamp Rules! (despite what my mother says) and I like imagining the actual making of this image and thinking of Stieglitz and Duchamp having a conversation about this sculpture and this photograph.

Bernd and Hilla Becher, Water Towers, 1980. Nine gelatine silver prints.

from the Guggenheim Museum NY exhibition:

Why did I choose this image? I chose this image because it reminds me of a personal experience from my youth that I don't want to post to this blog.

NOW, three images that I made recently:

Ms. Moneypenny and Natasha, Saturday August 21, 2010

I selected this image because it seems like a personal moment shared between two people (but I don't know them).

I picked this image because my friend Lauren set it up and asked me to take the photograph, so when I look at it I think of Lauren.

This is a photograph / snapshot of Lauren. August 21, 2010. I picked this image because it shows her having fun.

Photo IV: Week One Due:September 9, Thursday

Your assignment:

find any three images from current exhibitions in any large city, anywhere except Denver, AND explain why you chose each of the three images.


The exhibitions MUST be in a physical space, and NOT just an on-line exhibition.

Also, link from the image or description of the image to the website where you found the image.

THEN upload any three brand new, recent images of your own AND explain why you chose each of the three images.
