SF MOMA Review

Exposed-
What I really enjoyed about this exhibit is that it was able to bring all different styles and types of photography together and make it one. Although each photographer was essentially attempting to capture the same idea, each image had its own uniqueness to it. I think that the photographers were trying to show both people at their best and people at their worst, and it was up for us as the audience to decide when each one is being portrayed. Just like our current multi-frame assignment where we were trying to create flow between one image and another, this exhibit does this as well. The flow that your eyes see from one image to the next is a spectacular way of viewing these images!

Henri- Cartier Bresson- 
I was completely blown away as I walked through what seemed like never ending rooms filled with the most eye-catching images. Each one was more powerful than the next. I enjoyed looking at where each image was taken and imaging what it would be like to be him, taking that photo in that place or time period. Also, you could really see how he progressed as a photographer and how his style changed ever so slightly as the images went on through time. I was also surprised to see that many of the images in the exhibit I had seem before, and never knew it was he who took them. Over all, Henri- Cartier Bresson is a very talented photographer with a very large archive of amazing and powerful photos.
