Field Trip to the Annenberg Space for Photography

I went to The Annenberg Space for Photography last friday in West Los Angeles. The exhibit was about Los Angeles native photographers that have worked in LA in the past 50 years or so.

Images as diverse as the city for which it is named.

It is easy for native Southern Californians to forget our massive diversity as a culture of our own. From the beach to Hollywood to Venice to the little ethnic towns on every corner to the freeways to the mountains. In between all of this, there are ten million people in Los Angeles counties.

The exhibit showed the change in our culture, and the effects our surroundings on our people.

My favorite part of the exhibit was the video. They interviewed all of the photographers, including 98 year old Julius Shulman. Sometimes I like to watch interviews of photographers and artists, sometimes. I like to hear their 1000 words on their own work. Julius talked about how photographers eye, soul, and feelings go into their own work to make it their own signature work.

Other quotes from the photographers:

Photography connects people from all over the world. People instantly connect with images.

Art can't be taught. One learns by doing.
