For Allison And Anyone Else Who May Want To Give It A Look: Heidegger's "The Origin Of The Work Of Art"

Now, it's heavy and difficult to read, but if you want it, HERE is an online version of Heidegger's essay "The Origin Of The Work Of Art".

Click HERE for some "cliff notes" of Heidegger's "The Origin Of The Work Of Art" that I found online.

For Sara-Lane: Leonard Nemoy

Leonard Nemoy (yes, Spock from "Star Trek") has launched a quite successful career as a photographer in recent years. One of his series is called "The Full Body Project". In this series, he focusses on nudes of plus-sized women. I know this doesn't related perfectly to what you're wanting to do with your series of 50, but there are similar concepts. Nemoy wants to show us the natural beauty of bodies that are usually excluded from fine art nude figure study photography. Rather than posting a bunch of nudes here, I give you this LINK to his page dedicated to "The Full Body Project." You can even read his artist's statement there.

For Caroline: Daniel Kramer

These are a few images from documentary photographer Daniel Kramer. This is a series he did called "Prized Possessions". He went out and found homeless people on the street and asked them to show him their most prized possession.






For Allison: Bruce Gilden


Here's the guy I mentioned in class. His name is Bruce Gilden, and I love his work. Above is an image showing his stealthy and surprise approach.
