Seven Artists

The seven artists I would've chosen for the show would be:

1.  Keith Lewis- I thought this work stood out because of how picturesque they were. The figure looked as though she was in a painting, not a photograph.
2. Erik Sumption- Sumption's use of color captured my attention. In some of the photographs it created an abstract object. (Beach photograph with the neon light pole)
3. Mitchell- This photograph was playful/comical. I thought it was ironic to place a way of private transportation into a way of public transportation.
4. Molly Salzbrunn- I liked that this artists seemed to have a consistent theme of innocence/life.
5. Harry Sandler- I really did not like these photographs at first, but the longer I looked at them the more I liked them. It's interesting that they have such a picturesque look to them, but instead of being like paintings they appear to look more like drawings.
6. Phil Hefferman- I was drawn to these images because they reminded me of the portraiture photographs I took of the homeless in DC.
7. Jeff Lipshitz- These photographs captured my attention because of the lighting that was used and the wide range of subject matter.

I chose each artist for individual reasons, but I overall I tried to pick a variety of styles and concepts.
