I personally enjoyed the Rashid Johnson exhibit. I was drawn
to the photography because that is my medium. I was particularly interested in
his Van Dyke brown prints. Johnson is using a process that dates back to the
1800s and the early beginnings of photography.
I was impressed that he chose to spend hours working on each individual
print. Experimenting with this process changes the aesthetic quality of the
prints we viewed. His photography is
documentary portraiture, intimate life, and deadpan. I think he is versatile in
his work and that is a great quality to possess in any medium.
