What Becca had to say:
I’m a “photographer?”
I think I qualify as an artist in other mediums first- but the photo fairy blesses me with a good
photograph now and again. The real photographer in the family is the baby sis, which is evident
when comparing our work.
Self-abdication aside, I like taking pictures. There’s something magical about being able to capture
and isolate a piece of life… being able to reflect on moments lost in a pace of life that waits for no
one.
Drawing from photos is the real forte for me. At the risk of perpetuating a pompous, self-
proclaimed artist cliché… it’s profoundly moving to go about the work of scrutinizing life. Stare
into someone’s eyes, as you recreate that eye in pencil, you learn it’s completely possible to
connect with a stranger through a piece of glossy Kodak paper.
I love that. It’s the simple things I guess.

**Quick note to mention- the campaign is a work in progress!! Huge thanks to Rebecca for being the guinea pig on this project (as she has in many past projects)!!
I've been told I make a cute guinea pig as well ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is correct!!! Who knew guinea pigs could create such beautiful art? Do you have a site where you non-photo art is displayed?
ReplyDeleteI used to. I haven't made much art the past few years. I think teaching beat it out of me :)
ReplyDeleteI completely empathize with that. Though such a ridiculously talented guinea pig, such as yourself, owes it to the world to share your talents. Besides, I still remember a drawing you did back in highschool that was an assignment during which you could not take your pen off the paper. I remember seeing it the basement of your parents house. Do you remember that?? That kind of impression is amazing, Brazen Teacher. :)
