Mark Menjivar is a local Documentary who's project was to shoot the contents of a house hold's fridge. When listening to him speak, he would go into details about a few of the images and the "Behind the Scenes" stories with each person. I would like to see some of those stories set up next to the images as they added a dimension that what as already there

Dominic Macias presents Ejen Chuang's Cosplay in America
Cosplay is a simply costume play. People dress up in these costumes based on anime, video game and even comic book characters they seem to fancy. Eien's project, "Cosplay in America" is a documentation of people who partake of this hobby at anime conventions across the nation. This collection is a great start to getting past the feeling of seeing a grown person, dressing in costume outside of halloween but it fails to answer why people dress in costume to these events. Perhaps an interview with the person could really give this project some depth.

Brianna Cristiano Submits Mark Osterman
Mark Osterman is known for his knowledge of historical photographic processes concentrating in Ambrotypes. Osterman is a very eccentric guy I was watching a video about his processes and he was talking about how dangerous it is and how he likes Ambrotypes because you can tell it is hand made. I find that interesting because people now days want things that are easy and fast and I felt a connection with this guy because he wants to kind of preserve the past and the past processes. He was saying how film is in its last years and that made me really sad. Everything has become digital and accessible to the public it doesn't have the same charm as old photographs have. I really enjoy his work.

Brianna Cristiano submits Vivian Maier
Vivian Maier was a street photographer in the 1950's. Nobody knew about her work until after she had passed away a young man bought a box of her negatives and was amazed by what he saw. She had over 100,000 negatives and a box of undeveloped negatives. This story is really what made me take a look at her work. Maier's work is stunning there is very much thought that has gone into each photograph. Her work captures the true essence of the city life. there is something
very captivating about her work. She seems to make the most public moment intimate. It is a glimpse into the subjects world. If you are interested in street art and traveling photography you should definitely check her out! http://www.vivianmaier.com/
