So I thought it was time I come back. Since I am done with the web certificate program I have decided it is time to get more serious about photography. I have moved "down" to the community college and signed up at Oakland Community College (that is a story in itself) - they lost my application, etc.
Have attended one class so far and he mentioned that we had some extra credit opportunities (that's me - already worried about my grade not that it really matters.) One of the opportunities was to see a movie this weekend at the Detroit Institute of Arts. The movie was a documentary titled "Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters". It was a very interesting movie. http://www.dia.org/auxiliaries/event.aspx?id=3612&iid=&aux_id=14&cid=100
Crewdson does large scale, elaborately staged photos. Ran into my photography instructor after the movie and he asked what I thought. Typical me, forgot to put my filter on and I blurted out that I didn't like his pictures. While I could appreciate that they might be very good pictures, I found I liked parts of them - but not the entire picture.
