Our assignment was to reread an article written by Patrick Cox. The article was "America 24/7" In it, the author mentions how Rick Smolan and David Elliot Cohen captured remarkable series of images of the lives of everyday Americans during one week in May 2003. They decided to use a digital camera instead of taking videos. The author then goes on about how photos are sacred to families and treasures to us. The photos that are captured in "America 24/7" are not a glitzy version of a Hollywood personality venue that is often promoted as the image desired by Americans. The photos capture the true essence of American character and communities. The photos that I expect to see in the exhibit would be unposed, children playing, family dinners, birthday parties, family gatherings, you would see different races and ethnicities. It would capture people from all age groups.
My assumption was true, the pictures captured people of all different ages and were unposed. It was great looking at the different kinds of pictures.
