ICP
A Different Kind of Photographer
Submitted by maxilia on Wed, 09/16/2009 - 22:20I must say I underestimated our trip to the International Center of Photography. As it turns out though, it was time quite well spent, since it became a complete new learning experience for me. At first glance, the images seemed simple and undeserving of second glimpses; but boy was I wrong. As my classmates began to discuss the photograph with depth, offering a variety of interpretations, my eyes were soon able to grasp the ideas they described with such detail.
International Center of Photography - a new meaning of "art"
Submitted by deborah.sebrow on Wed, 09/16/2009 - 22:16At the International Center of Photography we I saw many photographs and collages by John Wood. John Wood played with photography to send a message to his audience. His collages and pictures were a little controversial and political. I saw one photograph that immediately caught my attention and I knew immediately that this was the photograph I wanted to analyze further and write about. I thought about what the picture represented and what John Wood was trying to say or ask his viewers.
Thoughts about the ICP
Submitted by whitney.porter on Wed, 09/16/2009 - 18:57Visiting the International Center of Photography was incredibly exciting for me because of my love for photography. I had trouble, however, with the questions about each photograph's meaning. I recalled what I read in Camera Lucida about Barthes' "desperate resistance to any reductive system." I do intellectually understand "how" to interpret a photograph, but I don't always feel that analyzing and dissecting each image is a beneficial or necessary process.
