For my first Campus Safari blog, I attended the "Amygdala" photography by Emily Denaro show in the Lyman Center Lobby Art Gallery. The photographs on display were of old buildings and things that normally people would overlook, and the point of her photos were to make people wonder. She said: "Perhaps it was drives past the Gilbert & Bennett factory as a kid; or stints urban exploring around CT; or solo train rides in Europe, concocting stories about the inhabitants of long-empty structures, that built my excitement for the dilapidated and the vacant. These photographs are not meant to be beautiful. They are meant to make one wonder. The real picture is what their subject's mystery creates in the mind." Even though these pictures were not meant to be beautiful, I thought that they were. They were very interesting and modern and made me really think about what I was seeing.
Very interesting. Make sure to tell me which # item Campus Safari you are completing here. That will help me know which to check off in my grade book and help you keep track of which ones you still need to complete.
