Nan Goldin was born In Washington, D.C, on September 12, 1953

 Nan Goldin claimed her fame, “earlier by using her lens on her drug-using and transvestite friends to create shocking images that saw personal reportage re-born.” (www.artnet.com)

A web cite article states, ” As a teenager in Boston in the 1960s, then in New York starting in the 1970s, Nan Goldin has taken intensely personal, spontaneous, sexual, and transgressive photographs of her family, friends, and lovers. In 1979 she presented her first slideshow in a New York nightclub, and her richly colored, snapshot like photographs were soon heralded as a groundbreaking contribution to fine art photography. (http://www.matthewmarks.com/new-york/artists/nan-goldin/)

Im a sucker when it comes to the eyes of a person or animals, even though some may scare me. It so intriguing that there are so many shapes, sizes, and color that a human or animals. The eye is capable of a lot of things , “they say its the door way to  a human soul.” The different contrast, shadows and how the eye is formed and concave is amazing!!!  Especially,how you can contour and manipulated it, with just about anything… Have you ever wonder what was the stuff in pupils that made it shine, dilate,wetter, or even seem gloomy?

I say this the because are current project we are working is fascinating and intriguing. It is a pick of Beyonce made out of tasty chocolate drops!!! Which we first transcribe in to a pixelate image of her, then about 5 hours later she was completed. I would post a pick of the finish product but that would spoil the finale presentation!!! Lets Just Say, “You never really pay attention or even appreciate at the small minor details of how some something is made until you stare at it for several hours…” Her eyes where the hardest thing to imitate. We would have been done early, but if know or like Beyonce you know how she thinks or feels about certain by eyes which adds to her expressions.  So we as a group said it was valid to get the eyes right.

Born on February 20, 1902,  in Western Addition, San Francisco,CA.

Ansel Adams images are so well known that photographers and tourists, who have the same techniques, but try to fill his shoes almost 60-70 years after  his most famous images were made. His web cite talks about some of his greasiest accomplishments, like Inventing the zone system,  environmental conservation efforts with the Sierra Club that led to creation of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks among other areas, the art education institutions that he helped to create, and also you can view his amazing photos in his gallery. For me, what makes him stand out from other photographers , is that he not only takes photos of the extraordinary place but tries to become one with nature in them. He gives back to the community because his love for nature and landscape.

Games that are pixelated

1 Commentby   |  11.18.14  |  Announcements

Pixilation has been around for many of decades, you may remember playing classic games like:

Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, Street Fighter, Ninja Turtles, or Zelda

Back in the day they didn’t have very good graphics for some of their entrainment, so a lot of the gaming systems produced disappointing products.

Do You Remember these Systems:

Its crazy how they use what they had back then to create entertainment for the children, because now days ever thing is so high tech. The games they are producing now are less pixelated with better graphics to where the fridges almost looks real…

They even have a game today that is very pixdelated it is called “Minecraft”

maxresdefaultWhat is Pixilation?

  • Pixilation: is a image that is enlarged as far as it can, so that the viewer can see the individual pixels that form the image. Also the enlarging the image will have no further detail which gives it a distortion effect.

For Example:plix

Photographer who might have the camera slighty out of focus or  any angry person who try’s to  make a image small or larger might run in tho this problem.

This is also a technique that can be applied and unapplied by programs like Photoshop, GIMP,Pixelmator,  and etc.

Like the “Fujiya & Miyagi: Ankle Injuries” music video  that Nil showed us in class , it shows pixillations and found objects throughout the whole entire music video.

This video is a great example for our upcoming project, building portraits out of found objects.

An American street photographer named Vivian Maier was born on February 1, 1926 in New York City.She spent most of her youth in France,where she then begun to like the art of photography. Over time she started a hobby that consisted of her taking multiple pictures over 5 decades, which later on sparked her interests to be a photographer. She has traveled all the world documenting some of the most amazing and interesting photos i ever seen. I just look at some her photos aren’t they stunning!!! One of  them reminds of what paige’s idea ,that she want to do for  the next project in class. You should check out her website…

Well, I suppose nothing is meant to last forever. We have to make room for other people. It’s a wheel. You get on, you have to go to the end. And then somebody has the same opportunity to go to the end and so on.” – Vivian Maier

    I love these images, a lot!!!when you think of it, building portraits out of found objects sounds crazy when you stop to think about. His style is kind of urban hip hopish culture like. He made these amazing project out of some else stuff which they consider to be trash. I guess another mans trash is a another mans treasure!!!

    I’m so intrigued by the underwater photos, i just love them!!! Especially, the second one, didn’t know that the camera could highlight the detail of water so well… Also its amazing how none of the subjects are bother by their surrounds, such as the water hurting their eyes.

    First of all is that my girl Sandra Bullock?!!! Dang, this a more soft and elegant side of her that i haven’t seen in a long time… Second man you were very lucky to meet this guy Dan,dude his work seems incredible.. I think he captured a different side of her that not to many people knew existed.

    I find this image very creepy but yet fascinating!!! Diane’s work is amazing to me, having two identical twin girls stand next to each other, can see the similarities and the differences. Because everybody knows how hard it is to tell a twin fron another twin!!!:)

    I can see why Paige, I notice just about all your photos kind catches a special moment in time, as the viewer I feel like I can feel the emotions of the subject.
    It basically freezes it so the viewer can see what you where trying to capture, which good!!!

    I agree with Jennie this are very beautiful and kind elegant picks…. especially the one with women dance you can almost say, they where taking from a video of her and made in to a collage storyboard.

    Actually the more I look at this pick, I kind like it!!! I kind of agree with Michelle it does capture a old timing moment, also I feel like the viewer can get a fill for what it was like to live back in that time, it tells a story…

    This type of camera reminds me of the project we did in class with creating our own camera. I didn’t really like this project it was very confusing and frustrating,because it was hard to produce a pick at all. But I also remember Nil talking about it and showing us how it works,which I thought was cool. The technique behind it was very interesting to me especially how they try to figure out the image so small was produced by this box…
