My last post reminded me that I wanted to say something about Sena Clara's exhibit in our campus gallery. I really appreciated that she took time to talk to us about her work. Although, I enjoyed looking at the whole exhibit, I felt most interpellated by Sena Clara's work, especially after she explained how and why she created her work. I found myself even more curious about the process of how she edited each photo to achieve the end result. But what I loved the most was her honesty about the embarrassment she felt using a cell phone camera to capture images. I can really relate to that! In my job, I take pictures of the houses I list and although I don't consider myself an artist, I do take pride in getting showings on a house quickly when my photos show the house in a positive way, especially if I'm able to make the house look better than it actually does, and even more so when I used my cell phone to take the photos! I used to routinely use it and I would always try to arrange a time when the seller wouldn't be there...so they wouldn't catch me using it. Occasionally sellers ask me if I'll be using a "professional" photographer to take the photos. Wouldn't it be fun if I said "yes, I will" and then brought Sena Clara over with her cell phone?
