"Michelle's commentary struck my attention because it was also the piece that captured my interest when visiting the Howard Greenberg Gallery. At first glance, you are immediately engaged as the subject of the photo's piercing eyes seem to tell a story. They say the eyes are the windows to a person's soul, but in this case the phrase rings true. So I like how she touched upon that aspect of the piece and also noticed its impact. I also appreciated how she spent time going through how the photograph was developed and how it played a role in the ultimate result of the artwork. For example, she picked up how the primitive methods employed by the artist enabled him to control and manipulate the effect of the photo as opposed to digital photos that are all developed similarly. Because there are unique and different ways to develop photos using these primitive methods, it also gives the photo unique qualities. I also liked the reference to another artist (Leonardo DaVinci). Overall this commentary of the art was informative as it covered a spectrum of aspects regarding the piece."
