Here are three of the artists I’ve looking at are these guys:
Jason Salavon (suggested by Rachel)
The series “100 special moments” is interesting to me because it is combining the individual histories of many different people into one image. Everyone believes these memories are special to them, and they no doubt are, but most people have the same kinds of memories. This is an interesting aspect of everything I have been working with because I am always asked about how I can make my work (which is so personal) applicable to everyone.

Jeffrey A. Wolin
I’ve probably talked about him before, but specifically I’ve been looking at his series titled “Pigeon Hill Portraits: Then and Now.” Each of these photographs have a story, physically written onto the photograph. These individual stories are why these photographs exist. Having family photos are to keep memories, to remember times or people. Being able to share this work with everyone without having to physically be related to the Wolin family or to have someone present to explain it to the viewer makes these stories interesting and accessible.

Bryon Darby
This series “Commute” is a lot like the “100 Special Moments” series. Photos are layered on each other based on a long drive or walk. These memories are of one specific person, unlike the other series. This is kind of the opposite idea of showing one memory in many places instead of many memories in one place.

These series are loosely related to my work, and I’m not sure how they are going to affect it, except technically, but I find them more interesting and somewhat relevant.
