Reading Response
Nan Goldin page 199
Nan Goldin has officially become one of my favorite people. Her subject matter is so real and so interesting. And none of it seems forced even though its all intentional. The fact that her and her friends made the conscious choice to live a fringe life style is so inspiring. The way she photographs everyday life, that isn't anywhere near everyday life for most people, makes me regretful that I haven't carried a camera with me everyday of my life. The article has inspired me to try and photograph outside the norm.

Reading response #5
Marco Maggi
Page 270
This guy is awesome. First of all, who thinks of petrifying an apple. That s an amazing and awesome idea. I love the humility this guy shows, which explains why it is one of the subjects of the article. The writer did a great job of explaining just how much painstaking work went into his pieces. I think my favorite part about Marco Maggi is that he achieved success at age twelve and immediately denied it to work on other things. I appreciate that a rejection of the modern world is the basis of his work however he takes the complete opposite approach I do. Like him, I try to reject the the basic outlook that society now shares of bigger is better and newer is better. However Maggi chooses not to get angry and instead of rejecting it or making a rejection of it his theme or motif, he simply chooses to ignore it. I cannot do this. I believe that there is a basic process:
Rejection
Destruction
Reflection
Reconstruction.
Most of all I would like to emulate the way he does exercises in the morning to always further hone his skills. That, to me, is just awesome.
