Vivian Maier Reflection 2

      I chose this piece to reflect on because I find it really captures the era in which is was taken. It reminds my of photos my family has of my dad and his three younger brothers sitting and looking out of a car window. I love the fact that they are all wearing the same shirt and they are also looking in three different directions. I think Vivian Maier was known for taking some provocative pictures of some of the more odd characters in Chicago, and this is just of three little boys sticking their heads out of a car window. I really enjoy Vivian's work as a whole because of the diversity of her photographs and the way her mental illness isn't really easily seen through her work. Its interesting that the way she was almost fearless when it comes to taking pictures, from photographing dead animals in the streets to the oddly shaped people around the rough city and more beaten down parts of Chicago. 

Finding Vivian Maier Reflection

After watching the majority of the documentary I find Vivian Maier very inspiring and incredibly interesting. I love the era in which she lived and all of her photographs are great at representing it.

Block Printing

I really enjoyed the whole block printing process, I loved learning a new media to work on and I think they turned out awesome. The rubber block was pretty easy to work with,but not very forgiving if you made a mistake. My first print is of an axolotl which is a type of aquatic salamander and then my second is a of a peace hand.
