Sally Mann's Photography

I really liked Mann’s photography about her family. I think they are very natural. Her intention wasn’t provoke a polemic. As she said in the video we saw last class the most of the time children were there and she just took pictures of them. I think the polemic is because sometimes people gave things meanings things don’t have. But that’s one of the consequences of being an artist. I don’t think that in this specific case Mann deliberately provoke the controversy but I know that sometimes artists do that. In my opinion one of the objectives of an artist is stimulate our imagination but our imagination sometimes can go so far.

Presentations!

Now we have finished the presentation process about music I can say the process was very enriching for all of us. I think we all learned a lot of new things about music through this process.
About the presentations, I consider all the groups did a really good job with theirs. I really think the presentation wasn’t difficult and we had enough time to prepare it.
Finally, if I could ask my artist one question I definitely would ask Bill Haley, who is the author of the song my group chose, why he wrote a song about how much he misses the Mississippi If he isn’t from there? We really tried to find the origin of the song but we couldn´t find it:(.
