The Old News show opening by Jeff Sprang was interesting on many levels. It captured a time within a certain period of history and also the era of film photography. The one photo that stood out the most to me was The Editor's Desk. Sprang describes facts about the photo but I would describe the photo as being an envelopment of chaos and a hint of wonder about the life of an editor.
My interpretation of this photograph was that Sprang wanted to show everyone that being an editor is not always just writing but it is about going through so many different ideas and the need for more space in more than one way. The setting sun that shines on the papers creates a sense of beauty that expresses the end result of a successful article and how hard work can truly pay off.
Some questions I have for Jeff would be what brought him to the idea of Old News, what is his favorite photograph, and why did it take him until now to want to do an exhibit?
Thanks, Kelsey. "The Editor's Desk" is one of my favorite images as well. To me, the image is a metaphor for the abundance of information the editor deals with...
ReplyDeleteYour last photo is nice. If has so many lines that go in different directions. It has your eye looking everywhere, from the bikes to the siding of the building.
