In Search of th Hero JORGE DEUSTUA

I really enjoyed this. At first i didn't like the way he had done his printing ( the pixels). But then the work started to grow on me. The more i looked at it and the help of the photographer him self Jorge Deustua, telling us all about the work and why he shoot it in the way he did, made me look at the work, through new eyes. (So mental note to-self, that you can't all ways expect your viewers to no exactly what you are showing them. You can use this in many different way, to hide some thing and hope they find it or you can help them with a brief text about the image). I found it really help me understand his work, the more the spoke about the reason behind the image. Then i could enjoy it on a better level then, when my first thoughts. When i had finished talking to him i had forgot about the frame and was thinking about hoe i could use some ideas in my work, and that it was a great exhibition. Oh and that i need to get a 6x6 medium format. I really enjoy the format size of the 6x6. I think that it really added to the image and spoke boldly to you as the viewer. The idea of the two images together was a fun idea and got the view involved with the exhibition. This would be a great way for people to remember your exhibition. You are giving them a visual and active stimulants to remember you by. Over all i loved the social doc by Jorge and really enjoyed his talk.
