Acacia Johnson's Origins
In this article the author discusses art expressed in
romanticism and surrealism - specifically Acacia’s Johnson’s “origins”
photography. In this photograph by Acacia Johnson, we see a wonderer gazing the
land of Alaska in a way that seems so nostalgic. I only say nostagic because that is how I feel when I look at this photo. I feel nostagic for a place I've never seen or experienced. That is what makes this photo wonderful to me, the fact that I can feel something that may not even be what the photographer was feeling when she took the photo. I like the way the author
brought to question about photography being seen from beneath the surface,
looking beyond what we see or even looking at it from the same perspective of
what the maker sees. The author discusses art and talks about how the work you
put into it should reflect through the photos you take. When I look at her photographs I can feel the sense of beauty she sees in the world and I wonder about the amount of time and energy the photographer took to take such beautiful photos.
