yesterday My Photo History class went to the Art Institute for some private viewing of their photography collection.
I must say..it was quite the experience...
Basically we walked into a secluded room filled with photography books and tables.
Once we sat down the photography curator came in to tell us all the crazy rules on viewing the pieces. They were pretty crazy...for example we have to have our hands behind us, no sneezing ...no pens only pencils ect. I was so excited...i felt like a little kid in a candy store...
I was so shocked with how close i was to all these historical photographs...
They weren't even covered with Glass...
we got to see the photographs just as the photographers would of wanted us to see them...
it was pretty awesome...
I cant even describe in words how i felt as i looked at each photograph..
I was amazed with the different mediums...especially the pictorial photographs because of the gum bichromate process ( photographic printing process based on the light sensitivity of dichromates). I was imaging the photographers working on these plates individually...carefully...tediously...
haha i know im such a dork...it made me tingle...
I am constantly amazed with how far the photographic process has come...
learning about the history really makes me appreciate this art more and more...
after the private viewing my friend and i walked around the new modern art wing of the museum...i must say....its pretty beautiful...
I have a feeling im gonna go there every Thursday and Friday night...
im thinking about taking Changmin there for lunch next Thursday...I cant wait til my sister comes back so we can just waste time and go sip on our coffee at the cafe... man i miss her...
Its hard because my boyfriend and i are so different..sometimes its hard to talk about what im thinking about when it comes to my work and just the art scene...
When my sister was here it was nice to just ramble on and on about whatever was in my mind with school and stuff. Even though she doesn't make art she still thinks like one. She understand my quirks and passions...i miss it alot...
My boyfriend is a good guy so he listens but doesnt always understand. He is a bit conservative in his thinking...which isnt necessarily a bad thing...but sometimes we just end up arguing because we just think way to differently...
but then again...i have to admit...i tune him out when he talks about the human body..nervous system and all that stuff he does..haha
hmm, on a more serious note....
for the first time in my life i feel content with what i have...
i mean..dont get me wrong...the situation at home is pretty bad financially..emotionally ect
but im going to think positive...
im starting to realize how good God is...even in the darkest times...
he still shines...
so...im going to have faith...focus on what i need to focus on and press on...work with what i have and do my best...
R.I.P Michael Jackson...
he was indeed a true artist in ever sense...
his legend will live on forever....
thank you Michael jackson for the memories...and the music...
you've always made my time in the darkroom and digital lab alot nicer with your music...
i will leave you guys with my all time favorite Michael Jackson song...
