Blog #7: The Self
Who are you--raw, uncut, and unrehearsed?
Who do you pretend to be? What masks do you wear?
Who are you when no one is watching?
Reveal a different side of yourself for the viewer.
Illustrate these ideas in five self portraits.

Artist John Paul Caponigro's " Fumo"
The Fumo Collection by John Paul Caponigro's takes me into many different scenarios. The first thing i thought of was some sort of smoke that was brought to life for a short while and was trying to tell you it's story. In some of the images it looks to almost give shape like one that in my eyes looks like a skeleton holding something in the air. I looked on I could not help but notice the stick like object where the source was coming from, this make me think of a wand and casting a spell. Great images check it out!
P.S. Expecto Patronum

Artist Critique: John Paul Caponigro's "Wake"
I was immediately drawn to the “Wake” series by John Paul Caponigro. I love that these images are both beautiful and thought provoking. They all make me wonder what created the movement and what it looks like the camera missed by only a couple of seconds. The use of color and symmetry is great and draws me into the photograph. I also want to know about the process and how he came up with this idea. The images are captivating and this is definitely a series I would hang on my wall.
Artist Critique - John Paul Caponigro's "Exhalation"
After looking through all of the artists we were given to chose to write a critique on, I decided to do mine on John Paul Caponigro's work "Exhalation". What drew me to these images was the fact that they all seemed to have a life to each of them. To me, they seem like two of the necessities we need to live, water and air, combined to create a very surreal and otherworldly feeling to them. Another thing that I really enjoyed about all of the images was that all of the light, airy, cloud-like designs all each had their own shapes and patterns to them in each image, yet they were all consistent because each of the shapes and patterns were created from the same objects. So not only did this keep it consistent, it kept you visually interested and curious. I felt all of the patterns made from all of these cloud-like objects gave a sense of awe and wonder because not only are they in interesting shapes, but the lightness of them all. In my eyes, they all had a refreshing feel to them, and that was something I quite enjoyed.
