John Wood Exhibition
Submitted by Ross Meneses on Fri, 09/18/2009 - 14:21I was captivated by John Woods' art. The first thing I encountered upon entering the exhibit was a quote "maybe the time has come for creative photography to encompass the large problems without propaganda or journalism. I was intrigued by this, and wondered how that concept was going to become realized through his art.

International Center of Photography :)

There was an exhibition of Avedon Fashion from 1944-2000 and it was really amazing. The photographs captured the style of each era it was representing. I was looking at all the photographs and I really loved the series of Mike Nichols and Suzy Parker.
John Wood Photography Exhibit
Submitted by Michelle Ranello on Thu, 09/17/2009 - 19:53The photography museum was a lot more interesting then I thought it would be. I think the exhibit was very unusual. The first photograph that we looked at really got me to see that a photgraph is worth a thousand words. When we first looked at it I was like ok its a photo of flowers with a gun in the middle. Whats the big deal with that? It was really cool that the photgraph was more then that. Once we started talking about the photograph I realized how reflective of the time period it was. The whole Vietnam era is one of my favorite times in American history.
