After reading quite a few articles from the After All magazine, i've found quite a few interesting articles. The one i have choosing for this entry is on the artist Haris Epaminondar this was writting by Sonia Campagnola. In this article it discussed some of Haris's newer work, she tends to take alot of photography and publish books. But, however she has been working more on contemporary short films lately. Since july of 2007 she started living in Berlin, She is very well traveled so her she is known pretty internationally. Most of her work has magnified colors, repetition, and symettry. Depending on her works subject matter will impact on how she goes about working with it. If you want to go and see her work you can purchase one of her books, go to a gallery, and if you look hard enough you could probably find most of it still online.
One interesting fact on her work is that uner each one of her images she usually will have a caption or a quote on the bottom.
The thing that attracted me most to this story is simply for the fact that someone incorporated photography into film.Anf right now with me that tends to be the hardest thing to do. Believe me your head can definantly get lost. But at least with Haris you get the best of both worlds.

Samantha -
This is good, a good start. I like the fact that you are working to be thorough in your coverage of the article about her, and that you found aspects of her work to be of interest.
What I'd like even more would be to see you go further. This here remains a bit general, on the surface. What is of most interest to me is your connection to the work, the aspects of Epaminondar's work that intrigue you. The use of text - captions and quotations - the incorporation of photo into film. It would have been fine - preferred even - if you concentrated on either one of those aspects and told me more. About what Epaminondar was up to specifically, how these technique works, how you think it involves the viewer, how/why it so engages you, why it attracts you.
Again, I appreciate the effort and time to provide a survey. A sense of your engagement with the article is for sure felt. In these posts, I'd like to see you extend your thinking, delve a little deeper into the topic. There is a lot to cover in these articles for sure. Feel free to isolate a specific point or topic and engage with that. I'd like to read more of your own ideas, considerations, critical thinking.
But again - this is a god start. Thanks for the time here.
