Wendy Richards

I found Wendy Richards to be very interesting. I had evolved a new found interest in Wendy Richards work. I found it to be quite an interesting experience to view Wendy Richards cell phone project. Recording people in their daily routines when they do not know that they are being recorded, is something I would never think of doing. After reading about and viewing Wendy Richard’s exhibit, I understood, a little more, the passion and excitement that can be expressed through the mundane experiences of everyday life. The images are very raw and none of the people knew they were being captured. I feel that Wendy has a lot of guts to get out there and make a series like she did. It is not easy putting yourself out there in the public eye and take images of people, who some might not be that happy about getting their pictures taken.
In relation to Richards work, the piece I really enjoyed was the piece about space. I liked how each image had unique structures in that background. The structures framed the image and the people were the secondary objects. It was very interesting to see how each set of images were different but similar toward each other.
