His work is very simple, which is why I see a definite link between his work and Don Hertzfeld's. Hertfeld's cartoons are very simple in their graphics, but they certainly do not lack in content. Using stick figures he creates hilarious story lines which could be read into in quite a few ways. <br /><br />Sol Lewitt also creates very simple looking art which is very conceptual (hence the minimalist and conceptual influences). He is the main artist I am following these days due to his studies of white spheres and cubes. It was a grid of his sphere studies that pointed me towards trying that out before working with a more complex object. He is also known for his geometric sculptures and installations which are equally simple and yet very interesting. I remember when I first learned about him in an art history class last year, it was the sort of art that I thought any old person in the world could make... because it seemed so bland. But upon further exploration, I learned that his work is far from ordinary because it does pack so much meaning if you only take the time to notice it. In this way, I think my work is drastically different from Sol Lewitt's, because I have no intention of having social meaning behind my photographs. I plan to make work that in simply about aesthetics, sensuality and formal lighting.<br /><br />I really like this artist because of his brilliant use of simple geometric shapes in both his photography and sculpture. It is also very refreshing to see such formal works that still have lots of depth, and make you think.<br /><br />I would have LOVED to post pictures, but for some reason I cannot figure out how to make that happen... so if you go to these links you'll see some AWESOME examples of his work!

I'm sitting here at the gallery alone, with my notebook full of at least 10 names of photographers I have written down throughout my time in London, and each name I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">google</span> is feeling less and less inspirational. Perhaps I'm just in a sour mood... and honestly I wish I were back at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">clark</span> where Frank or Stephen could name off 30 artists (each) who's work would give me hundreds of fresh ideas. It is so hard to keep moving forward and pushing myself without any one to guide me or give advice, but I suppose that is one of the main lessons I have learned here. I have learned to photograph for myself, rather than for a weekly critique; and I have developed a sense of motivation which in the past was completely based on weekly deadlines. I want my photographs to be great (and I want them to improve) not for a grade or to attempt to prove to myself that my work is at least not the worst hanging on the wall. I want my photographs to be great for me, so I can be proud of my work despite the fact that no one may ever <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">critique</span> it or talk about it. I think <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">that's</span> an important lesson that I've learned while I've been away, because I think it will help me feel more comfortable shooting whatever makes me happy... and not just what will impress my professors and fellow students. <br />Being here has given me a sense of what life will be like after college, when my photographic endeavors will be completely in my hands. It's a terrifying thought that once I graduate from Clark I may never 'make ART' again, and without this experience I hate to admit that it quite possibly could have happened. Not now though, now I know that my cameras (all 6 of 'em) are permanent fixtures in my life. Even if I don't <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">pursue</span> a career in the field and I do become a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">high school</span> math teacher... I know that when I go traveling I will still feel compelled to have <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">both</span> a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">film</span> AND digital camera (and maybe my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Polaroid</span> as well.. just in case) in tow, just so I'm prepared for whatever may come up. I know now that photography is not just a phase.. its a part of my life and no matter what I will keep taking pictures and they WILL keep getting better.Jessica Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17053540237539598951noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938277297674000819.post-7910858095895490252008-04-14T15:18:00.000-07:002008-04-14T17:24:47.965-07:00Today I learned a valuable lesson in photography:<br /><br /><em>If you think your camera might have a light leak... do not assume it will just go away and shoot two rolls of film with it anyway.</em><br /><br />Yes, I was dumb enough to do just that. And yes, almost all of my pictures are ruined. To be honest, I'm not sure any of them were very good to begin with (My "Tree Portraits" idea fell a bit short of expectations). Well anyway, now that my film camera is basically out of commission for the rest of trip I dont so much know what to photograph...as all of my planned projects were going to be in film. Not exactly the inspiration I was hoping for to push me forward in my photographic adventures here in London. Suppose I should just take it as a lessoned learned and stick to digital (for the time being).Jessica Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17053540237539598951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938277297674000819.post-12794929134711237672008-04-13T13:07:00.000-07:002008-04-13T13:26:42.665-07:00A month or so ago, I deemed it necessary to take poloriods of all the major London attractions... I figure it will make a nice little side (night) project, as almost all of them look better in the evening. (Plus it's an almost legitimate reason to take breaks from photoshop). Anyway I finally got off my bum to take a poloroid of Picadilly Circus tonight. Not the most exciting news ever, but I just wanted to share another of my London photographic endeavors. I'm hoping that I can scan them all once I get to Clark.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRSLDu4db4N6tHpuvshpWp9IrFqcBFrBnaRz24GHNrbjSC7C0hv3iZUWAlWzb-Jv7nLHaaTRSxENvCGargMDgSyKjAnKHterZPvxb4R8WE97p1nnSwX1chbwtCi8HTUFi5HN5KEJK-C5La/s1600-h/IMG_2081.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188828637772281266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRSLDu4db4N6tHpuvshpWp9IrFqcBFrBnaRz24GHNrbjSC7C0hv3iZUWAlWzb-Jv7nLHaaTRSxENvCGargMDgSyKjAnKHterZPvxb4R8WE97p1nnSwX1chbwtCi8HTUFi5HN5KEJK-C5La/s320/IMG_2081.jpg" border="0" /></a>March 24, 2008: Prague</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCrUY0CgDsMdlB_qi_JE8YpFN36MGtqmzplsVYAvONv3wY5A2AxMVcoAoML-22kX27Eal7vXAuHe6ivLt4lWNVVpID75DBxrZV4KL2OCfd79TRPhwxQnZdaxhcPaYPbx3vkw1kGEsdprWG/s1600-h/IMG_2121.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188828405844047250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCrUY0CgDsMdlB_qi_JE8YpFN36MGtqmzplsVYAvONv3wY5A2AxMVcoAoML-22kX27Eal7vXAuHe6ivLt4lWNVVpID75DBxrZV4KL2OCfd79TRPhwxQnZdaxhcPaYPbx3vkw1kGEsdprWG/s320/IMG_2121.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p align="center">March 25, 2008: Prague</p>Jessica Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17053540237539598951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938277297674000819.post-18478014583588832582008-04-12T01:09:00.001-07:002008-04-12T01:12:37.358-07:00Just plain pretty<div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipwmRI0WNQ78fA5HzczVc0npJKLSvpDSytwZG1m5zFsNtqyKn7B8w3F8Zng9_fU68WpwqDHhcyJ4e3EVx9WOhXcvsxeKUCAMwPbDx99KvzCcInVd5sXrB2NRCRnkW7jxhYu4KmDZ6ggXtr/s1600-h/IMG_2056.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188268075356139778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipwmRI0WNQ78fA5HzczVc0npJKLSvpDSytwZG1m5zFsNtqyKn7B8w3F8Zng9_fU68WpwqDHhcyJ4e3EVx9WOhXcvsxeKUCAMwPbDx99KvzCcInVd5sXrB2NRCRnkW7jxhYu4KmDZ6ggXtr/s320/IMG_2056.jpg" border="0" /></a> March 24, 2008: Prague Vltava River on a cloudy day</p><p><br /></p><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188268071061172466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-qLHcZDmgWm3kTU45nfbQ7pJndH32v7AmDbndZ3erc_XvNk3wZB4vLeGyhu00O2VlwLxOeZqZZo_Rzpsrh4d1WwylT7xIjQUpi1yOq8kEmIDzm2JrKisHPQIIH3aoGIxLSKYIYjKnoXBU/s320/IMG_2095.jpg" border="0" /> March 25, 2008: Prague Vltava River near sunset</div>Jessica Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17053540237539598951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938277297674000819.post-56543880647694190432008-04-10T14:52:00.001-07:002008-04-12T01:09:04.452-07:00<div align="center">When I first got to London I felt completely lost about what to photograph.. some days I would go out with my camera for hours and barely take a single photograph. I honestly did not enjoy a minute of walking around alone. Today, however, as I walked along the Thames on my way to St. James park (yes it was another day of photographing a London park), I realized how at ease and even HAPPY I felt to be out on my own photographing. Actually, I shot almost a whole roll of film on my way there (I was attempting to follow Warhol's lead and just photograph ppl and signs that I found amusing without thinking too much about each shot). I feel really proud that I've been able to become so much more comfortable and confident on my own.. and I really think it will carry over and help me in lots of ways at home. Maybe I will even feel more confident next semester at school to scout out more interesting models. Without rambling on too much, I guess it just feels good to be able to enjoy photographing again because for a while photographing had become a chore. Days like today make me remember why I love photo so much... </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">On that note... heres some more pictures from Prague, ENJOY!</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs2oGbGnPTqXyqUR5rr5q6lFuc0fo_L1PTTC_AGJ-z-AdQW1syFgyazGgWs9aEFB-sAEk_h2-L4UhCjrTEAVUK3_8W-tO3GgNbnDXwC1rtIEuWuiFCS6fWX7bmVqW_dv_c-xy401GEPlUJ/s1600-h/IMG_2071.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187738222420701378" style="DISPLAY: block;

Being so close to the end of this "journey" is making me realize all the things I wish I had done, especially with my photography. I feel like it took me so long to settle in that I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">sorda</span> forgot to set any real goals for myself in terms of specific projects and places and things that I want to photograph. In light of that, I have set for myself a couple of specific projects I wish to complete before I leave.<br />1) Photograph <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Portobello</span> road at least a little each day (I realized how much of a jerk I am for NOT doing this all along, as I do work there 3 days a week).. I want to shoot at LEAST one roll of film and 100 digital photos. Actually I came up with a really cool idea of photographing every store front (in order) and then printing them out individually and hanging them as a border around my room next year.<br />2) Tree portraits.. let me explain: As some of you know, I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">sorda</span> have a thing for trees. And since I've been here my love has extended WAY beyond old oak trees because the trees in the UK are ridiculously cool. On my free days I go to different parks (Hyde is by far my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">fav</span>), <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">trip</span>od and all and scope out cool trees. Probably sounds <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">kind of</span> lame in this explanation but hopefully the pics will prove otherwise (I've been doing this in film so I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">dont</span> have the pics quite yet)Jessica Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17053540237539598951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938277297674000819.post-77479742625136735192008-04-06T15:20:00.000-07:002008-04-06T15:43:32.505-07:00<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqdQkQwOLanUIl-ONp1ZwAiubPTaKwiQkETQw0mDjpIjKUDgdyDo4KxKyXRq_8hU7qi4Mgc9DoMQkm-SoFhim4wLQhlI1TPWZDE5OdHsCnUevDsIY4u_-1BUaLYCa9GfCpT-QvKK6QzdCI/s1600-h/IMG_2019.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186262659061347554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqdQkQwOLanUIl-ONp1ZwAiubPTaKwiQkETQw0mDjpIjKUDgdyDo4KxKyXRq_8hU7qi4Mgc9DoMQkm-SoFhim4wLQhlI1TPWZDE5OdHsCnUevDsIY4u_-1BUaLYCa9GfCpT-QvKK6QzdCI/s320/IMG_2019.jpg" border="0" /></a> "Viagra?"

I was lucky enough today to meet with the editor of a photo magazine which is completely for/about freelance photographers. To be honest I was very nervous about the situaion because it was really the first time showing my portfolio to anyone who would give me any real feedback. Also, I know I'm not usually very good about talking about my own work and was very worried about having to explain it to someone who knew nothing about me or what I've been doing. In the end I think I did a rather good job (or at least they seemed to at least not be disgusted by my work or what I said), and I really learned a lot. We actually had a very relevent conversation about doing what you WANT and not just whats convenient. This is an issue I've been thinking about quite a bit lately as college is quickly coming to an end. Unfortunately at some point I'm going to have to decide whether I am actually going to try and pursue some sort of career in the arts rather than simply following my original career path of highschool math teacher. This decision is something that I think about on a daily basis, and quite frankly it scares me to death. I've always sorda thought that attempting to pursue a career in photography would be as pointless as trying to become a supermodel, because it would never happen. However, I was given a thread of hope today with a bit of interesting advice that if you have an ounce of talent (which apparently I do?) and work as hard as you possibly can (day and night, NO excuses), then you make it.. because theres no other option. I dont know if thats true or not, but I sorda like it so I'm going to believe it.<br />Not sure where I'm going with this exactly, and I dont want to ramble too much...<br />All in all I think today was a really good experience in contact making, talking about my work, and taking critisism on it.. and yea, I still have NO idea what I'm going to do when I get out of college but I DO know that I have to do whats going to make me happy. Hopefully I can figure out what that is.Jessica Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17053540237539598951noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938277297674000819.post-16429656133642645662008-04-01T17:10:00.000-07:002008-04-01T17:29:08.302-07:00Yesterday I finally went to the Vanity Fair exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery, which showed photos <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">featued</span> in the magazine dating from 1913 to the present. It was really interesting to see how photography has advanced and how the quality of the photos has changed so much. I was mainly excited for the show because I knew it would contain a couple of my favorite artists: <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">annie</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Leibovitz</span>, Irving Penn. Annie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Leibovitz's</span> work was absolutely incredible, as always. I love how she can capture A star's personality in just one photo, and the incredible statements she makes with single shots (i.e. the iconic nude, pregnant photo of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Demi</span> Moore).. she never ceases to amaze me.<br />What I'm most excited about though is the new artists which I had never heard of prior to the exhibit. One photographer in particular Herb <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Ritts</span>, really caught my eye at the show, and when I looked him up after I was even more pleased. You can see a bunch of his photos <a href="http://www.herbritts.com/images/">HERE</a>. What I really like about him is his use of male nudes, which can be surprisingly hard to come by. I love how he <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">intertwines</span> two people (or more) together to create a beautiful sort of statue that simply becomes about the beauty of skin and bodies, and the lighting in all of his shots is phenomenal. There is also one photo in particular that has made it onto my list of <em>favorite</em> images, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Neith</span> with Tumbleweed, Paradise Cove, 1986 (it can be seen on the link I posted above). I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">haven't</span> had time to do nearly as much research on him as I would like.. but I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">definitely</span> look forward to finding more of his images.Jessica Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17053540237539598951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938277297674000819.post-34392233467136950882008-03-31T15:56:00.000-07:002008-03-31T15:58:50.062-07:00<div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghmUZVyuvWCi73pYa5Sdo84Bh-SkFysZJGNmb8ei2YnhRLLsYmmoXP1qZyL3P0q0YukU8ZspQjtCHZ_NdD09BaaJrb0hkHtUL-nBNjXOPnFGxlH-XW6t1WTHTHaGRDYu-mhhb8KBv30W4Y/s1600-h/IMG_1960.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184043677092770914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghmUZVyuvWCi73pYa5Sdo84Bh-SkFysZJGNmb8ei2YnhRLLsYmmoXP1qZyL3P0q0YukU8ZspQjtCHZ_NdD09BaaJrb0hkHtUL-nBNjXOPnFGxlH-XW6t1WTHTHaGRDYu-mhhb8KBv30W4Y/s320/IMG_1960.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div align="center">Blue Window</div><div align="center"> March 18, 2008: Paris<br /></div>Jessica Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17053540237539598951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938277297674000819.post-45421132488180113882008-03-30T14:39:00.000-07:002008-03-30T15:10:26.924-07:00Currently at the Tate Modern there is a wonderful exhibit on Duchamp, Picabia and Man Ray (I HIGHLY recommend it). I was lucky enough to get to go with my Modern art in London class, which meant we had our professor there to give some extra information. I was SO excited to see all the Duchamp work that I had learned about last semester (Nude Descending a Staircase No.2, Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors Even, The Fountain.. etc.), but when I got there it wasn't Duchamp's work that blew me away. More so, I was very intrigued by Man Ray's work, his nudes in particular (surpise, surprise). At first I really couldn't understand how I could've missed studying his work the past few semesters as they do EXACTLY what I've sorda been trying to do with some of mine in terms of playing with light and how it looks on skin (Google Image: "Man Ray nudes" and check out the one of the woman looking to the right with her hand on her head and the incredible little spots of light on her breasts). More specifically I've become really interested in his use of solarization in combination with his nudes. I've always sorda thought solarization was a bit too cliche, and to be honest I had basically written it off as ever being an option of something to try (especially with the nude work I've been doing). Man Ray's work, however, has totally changed my mind on that. What I learned is what the process of solarization can do to nude skin is absolutely beautiful.. I still can't really get over it. Everytime I google his work (which is pretty often these days), I'm just blown away by the beauty if his nude shots, especially the ones of Lee Miller. I definately want to give solarizing a chance next semester and try to imitate some of Man's work.<br />All in all, I think I learned a couple really important things by way of going to that show.<br /> 1) Try not to only look at the work of artists I already know about, because it's usually the ones I've never heard of that really inspire me.<br /> 2) Never stop researching new inspiration because there are so many artists out there.. and I've barely cracked the surface of them (and inspiration can be found in all sorts of places).<br /> 3) Don't make any conclusions about an artistic process until I know the entire extent of what it can do.Jessica Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17053540237539598951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938277297674000819.post-47829448674393707272008-03-29T15:11:00.000-07:002008-03-29T15:26:08.277-07:00For those who don't know, a couple weekends ago I spent three nights in Paris. Unfortunately, it rained pretty much the whole time, but I still managed to shoot 3 rolls of film and a bunch of digitals ( yes, I carried both cameras around the whole time, it was not fun). To be honest I think that the film work is probably much better, but I'm currently getting it developed and have to wait another week until they're ready. So, in the meantime I'm sorting through the digitals and finding ones I think work.<br /><br />Here's two I chose mostly because I like the colors and the simplicity...<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQeEMbPbZvlJv-WoGCk1BIU613E4obpzVbADn3ztfc9c84pDQ_hgId_8trXyvGakBBKdlvl5u-pe_TsqjXkt5jCkYcF-JwdRy34wwzbmeI7qbSVKGtuWB16wNF5JZFaLyxM3sJaeVi8lV6/s1600-h/IMG_1923.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183291078563427394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQeEMbPbZvlJv-WoGCk1BIU613E4obpzVbADn3ztfc9c84pDQ_hgId_8trXyvGakBBKdlvl5u-pe_TsqjXkt5jCkYcF-JwdRy34wwzbmeI7qbSVKGtuWB16wNF5JZFaLyxM3sJaeVi8lV6/s320/IMG_1923.jpg" border="0" /></a>Green Doors and Wet Cobblestone</div><div align="center">March 17, 2008: Paris </div><div align="center"><br /></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183292431478125650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoBs9RQRKu2nM1cwgghBZ9CSUFX4cRwIczJGf_JqjBYPJv1a-_GC9UqRLwGCvZh0J4rjErl7fzl-FgOL9Wtqd7Hm6Kc6QaWhbd6FdEGy_a5-b24WY5-DZHQjJsMfwi7HspOolKKUTDBWYS/s320/IMG_1962.jpg" border="0" />Graffiti</div><div align="center">March 18, 2008: Paris<br /></div><br /><div align="center"></div>Jessica Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17053540237539598951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938277297674000819.post-30066780859798561952008-03-28T14:22:00.001-07:002008-03-28T14:52:38.558-07:00<span style="font-size:85%;">For the past 3 months of my life I've been living in London, working in an art gallery and seeing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">lot's</span> of museums/galleries, and yet I barely wrote a word about it. To be honest, I usually <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">dont</span> like to write/talk about how I feel about art, mostly because I'm a bit <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">embarassed</span>. That is now going to change.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">To be completely honest, being so submerged into the 'real' world of art has made me a bit cynical about it all. Whenever I go to show and see work hanging on the wall I have to question whether it's up there because the artist is really talented, because they have the "right personality" and talked their way in, or simply because they're popular and someone wanted to make some money off of it. Sometimes I just get plain annoyed that some <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">else's</span> work is hanging on the wall while mine is stuck (probably forever) in my portfolio in my closet. This brings me to one thing I truly enjoy about the gallery I work at (East West Gallery). David and Jill, the owners, pick artists to represent simply based on <em>talent</em> and how much they believe in the artists work. They don't care if the artist is popular at the time or if they're going to make them super-rich; they just want to show work which they believe in. I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">didn't</span> really know it was possible to encounter people in the art world who functioned on such a completely unselfish manner, because so many other people I've met just seem to only think about themselves.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">On a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">sorda</span> different/ <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">sorda</span> similar note: What I find most confusing about art is that it's supposed to be about creating something beautiful and expressing oneself (cheesy, I know). But then all this business comes into it, and suddenly your art is being judged and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">criticized</span> in a million different ways. And then you have to figure out how to make living off of it?!? It all seems so confusing to me. To say what I'm thinking rather bluntly, sometimes I (and I'm sure you all do to) just want to say "screw the art world, I just want to take pictures", and I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">don't</span> want them judged and I don't want to explain why they're good or why they're not.. "I just want to take pictures". </span><span style="font-size:85%;">Why does it have to be so damn complicated?</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Anyway, I have TONS of pictures from Paris and Prague to touch up / even more to still take in London. I am determined to come out of this trip with something that I actually like... I must show myself that I am capable of more than just take pictures of naked people and oak trees. So please stay tuned...</span>Jessica Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17053540237539598951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938277297674000819.post-51826550029656514032008-03-12T13:03:00.000-07:002008-03-12T13:27:45.408-07:00<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-vxjorGV6ShQnQHKYbociCCsr9EMgyQuXnZK-i0SMdyktW1UjVvjoDW1hf0HYVw7TRPsGpI6m0fzP-12a-tBtr0XqAgrd6wnYpHh6toZxu8VmXStwfhprRwOYeVw-MIaJwh8HHZxYewVi/s1600-h/imm020.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176954281064101362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-vxjorGV6ShQnQHKYbociCCsr9EMgyQuXnZK-i0SMdyktW1UjVvjoDW1hf0HYVw7TRPsGpI6m0fzP-12a-tBtr0XqAgrd6wnYpHh6toZxu8VmXStwfhprRwOYeVw-MIaJwh8HHZxYewVi/s320/imm020.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPGU_Pbq7u7neQXWpKcSLtumkTMvQ60PiThbuZ4Z7UbL51LHP02Xi9Wvxumho6bB-LHFPrIzlGFJmscCHVIkJlOi-epwNXT_QEefxyz2zCAhghREu-D_XLhRZshg-kq12ggWK30Terx4s8/s1600-h/imm023.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176954285359068674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPGU_Pbq7u7neQXWpKcSLtumkTMvQ60PiThbuZ4Z7UbL51LHP02Xi9Wvxumho6bB-LHFPrIzlGFJmscCHVIkJlOi-epwNXT_QEefxyz2zCAhghREu-D_XLhRZshg-kq12ggWK30Terx4s8/s320/imm023.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOXRrQKrEfKbM2xuAoIM-lMBR3gsN4_ZB4iSy5uyFAdjghaALEJk5cpVRH5W4R7TLDR357Y997SIjRpUz2vs_Jl4jxu5yGVQstbcFtldveqMNlQJ0NEftKTMNc98U6CMjTLt3tjYuxNoaU/s1600-h/imm032.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176954289654035986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOXRrQKrEfKbM2xuAoIM-lMBR3gsN4_ZB4iSy5uyFAdjghaALEJk5cpVRH5W4R7TLDR357Y997SIjRpUz2vs_Jl4jxu5yGVQstbcFtldveqMNlQJ0NEftKTMNc98U6CMjTLt3tjYuxNoaU/s320/imm032.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div align="center">More film work, this time shot in Camden Town<br /><br /></div>Jessica Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17053540237539598951noreply@blogger.com0
