My Final Project
My final project for Photo 1 was on abandoned houses. I decided to take photos of abandonment because I have always been intrigued by places that have been left. They often tell a story by the condition they were left in. Sometimes its foreclosure or a business that went under, but there is always a story behind why a building was left by inhabitants. I used to go to Kings Park Psychiatric Center frequently, and last year in my film photography class I shot a roll of film of the buildings and the ruins. It was one of my favorite rolls I had shot, so I decided to continue that in a new way, and with a digital camera. Overall, I am really happy with the outcome of my final project, and with the work I have done this semester. I have really improved with my photography throughout the course of this semester, and I am happy with the photos I have thus far.

Reaction Paper 3: Gallery Visit
Last week I went to visit the faculty art exhibit at Gallery West. It was a really cool exhibition because there were so many different kinds of art. I really enjoyed seeing a compilation of paintings, etchings, and photographs, all by the professors at Suffolk. It was really interesting to see what our professors work on in their outside lives. We tend to forget that our professors have their own careers as artists so it was awesome seeing what they do outside of the classroom. I thought Professor Naideau's print of an old car on metal was super unique and interesting to look at. I also thought Professor Cyr's abstractions were really cool because they were all different next to each other. There were so many different aesthetics in the room, with paintings on pieces of wood and photos on metal. All in all, I am very glad that I went to the gallery because I really liked all of the work.
