            In this article the author discusses the work of artist Greg Sand and the surrealism she felt in his photography. The article is appropriately titled “Altered Memory” because that’s exactly what his photos entail – everyday things we are used to seeing altered to make you question what you are looking at and question what you know. The title immediately grabbed my attention to the article and I was interested even more when I saw the photographs. I really like what Greg Sands photos entail. I like that he took a simple photos and turned them into huge question about life and existence. In the article, Greg Sands talks about how photography allows us to capture a fleeting moment and see the temporality of life in that moment. I really enjoyed this article for the photos and I think it is a wonderful idea to play with photography the way Greg Sands did here. Our minds get use to seeing the same things everyday that we need more altered art in order to expose our brains to different ideas.
