Our third student exhibition featuring the travel photography of Whitney O'Brien:
When I take a photo, I am stopping time. I am capturing a memory forever with a click of a button. A single frame can capture more detail than I can remember. My photography represents how I view the world, what impacts me and what I want to look back at. They record my life in a way that is fun and rewarding.
France:
France was full of famous sights and fictional monuments becoming real in my eyes. The ancient architecture juxtaposed to the bustle of the modern city is a photographer's dream canvas. The noise, the lights, the language, the food, the culture is what I try to capture so I can take the people who look at my photos back there with me.
What I really enjoyed here is that you moved the focus upwards and away from the masses of people. By doing this, it is like a nod of respect to the structure and is also a knowing 'wink' (or clin d'oeil!)to everyone who has ever tried to take a photo 'above the maddening crowd'. Felicitations, Whitney.
