Well the spencer art museum visit was very chaotic in the beginning, I had to rush down all across campus to make it to class on time. I actually forgot that we were visiting the print lab that day and I was not really excited for it. I have been to the print lab at least 20 other times during my year and a half experience here on campus. Yes I am aware that they house over 8000 different prints and photos which is really impressive. And I know that preserving each one is very difficult and takes skill which I applaud the professors and associates that work in that place with having the delicate hands needed to keep them clean.
I was not really interested in what the young woman lecturing us had to say, I have heard it countless times before. It was the same information of how photographs are a way of communicating and each one has a different way of speaking to the viewer. I understand the style and work that goes into each piece but I was really bored with the concept. Art in general is communication and connection not just photography. I really wish that she could have talked about how a photographer makes decisions based on the design and aim of their picture instead of just giving us a general tour.
Other than that we spent the last couple of hours down in the library so we wouldn't have to cross campus while it was hailing outside. As a whole I understand the concept and the need for photographs in the world. But does every single lecture of photography have to be the same? I appreciate the information and the art in general but I wish there was more to offer than what I have heard before.
