Martin Parr Images

So let's start with the Switzerland one first. I think this image is a seriously moment. There is maybe one of the most beautiful scenes behind these people in the world, and they are choosing to look at scarfs. Humans, its awesome how stupid we are.

So I like the mohawk image a lot as well. It is a mother and a daughter. I like it because the mother has a bit of look of disdain on her face, but is isn't to the point of hate. It is just a look of yep this is my crazy daughter. And I really like that.

So bald man, how much do you want to be friends with him, I do. Parr said he followed this man secretly to get this shot. It is hilarious. I mean what else can you say but hahahahaha, bald people.

Last the dress picture. This is one of my favorites. I love it because there is a stain on her dress. Let it be known that this happens to me at every event where I wear a dress. It is a nice dress. I doesn't fit her, and there is a stain on it. But she is there and wearing it. And I get that feeling right as I the image.

Alright we shall start with hamburger over here. I think this image is interesting because, 1 i am instantly attracted to bejeweled nails,and 2 she king of gives this gross feeling when I look at her. I feel like, even thought I can't see her face, that, that isn't her first hamburger. And from what I can see of her face, I think it is interesting that a woman would eat like this. I also love that it is in color, because it adds to the image of this woman. I like the the picture because it is a portrait without the face.
When I saw the tanning woman for the first time, I could not stop laughing. I mean it is hilarious. I love that she is tanning in full makeup and jewelery. I love that her eyebrows are drawn on. To me this image makes me feel like she is pasting on a tan, like everything else on her body. And it is also hilarious

Alrighty hello friends,
So I am writing this and I am extremely ill, the doctor has no idea whats wrong with me, god bless modern medicine. Anywhoo, I am trying to do work over here, and I want to do photo things, so here we go get excited.
I found Martin Parr like 3 years ago. I find his work to be brilliant and absolutely terrifyingly odd and hilarious at the same time. I feel like so often we look for deep images. The type of image that has that wow effect the moment you see it. I never really get that feeling with Parr's work. This tern I have seen beautiful demonstrations of pure horror in photography. Some shots stick with you, and some shots have with me. They have so much emotion, so much depth, and so many of them will never let me forget them. And until seeing Martin's photography I felt like that is what photography was to me.
Martin Parr take a very different and strong stance against this type of one raw shot photography. He shoots things, such as nudist conventions, people ignoring beauty and shopping, food, food consumption, people tanning, and his newest project, the last parking space. Its different, it is incredible odd, and I love it. It makes me laugh, and I find my self asking, are humans really like. I find his work to be awesome. Here are some of his images, and even more of my comments. By the way he is the photographer that makes me say seriously more than ever before.

1 Shot

At first I thought that this assignment would be very easy. And right to the point of where I fell taking the picture I thought it would be easy. That's right folks I fell in the cooled snow, it was miserable, and I lost the shot I wanted. Ahhhh 1 Shot why Slade.

Lot

Lottie Elizabeth Wall was born on October 7th 2001. Her favorite color is pink. Her favorite food is pumpkin cheesecake frosting. She likes crocs, Barney, and Elmo. She loves water, hugging, and Eskimo kisses. Lottie was never supposed to walk, yet alone walk with crocs on. She was never supposed to go off her feeding tube, yet alone eat pumpkin cheesecake frosting. And she was never supposed to hug me, because Lottie wasn't supposed to live. 

There are many memories that I don't and will never had. I never held my sister until she was 1 month old. I never was able to take her and see my room, her O2 tubes didn't stretch that far. I never did all the things that I was promised that I would do. But as I think back on it, I mean all of the things that I "missed out on," I wouldn't change anything about the events for the world. I have a sister who truly will love me until the day she dies. She has no concept of hate. She is purely innocent. She is a person that I will and would do anything to protect from anything that might hurt her. 

I wake up day by day wishing I could do more with her, spend more time. But time goes by, she gets bigger, and grows farther away from needing me everyday. But I will always love her, and she will always be more than a miracle in my family and my life. I am a lucky person to be so blessed with Lottie. And I hope that through these pictures you can see, that she was supposed to die, and today she greets me at the door and say, " Hi Emma how are you?"  And that is better than any memory that I was told that I would create.
