  FILM TALKS #13: Brandon Thibodeaux | Photographer (Dallas TX, USA)

• Artist- Brandon Thibodeaux 
• This week we took a look at the Blog site FotoFilmic. Surprisingly this website is very well organized, clean, and easy to use. It seems that the site makes new post weekly for the purpose of shedding light on artist from around the world.  The site mainly focuses on photography!
• The article is about photographer Brandon Thibodeaux. Brandon Thibodeaux is a film photographer from the city of Dallas, Texas. He uses a 35 mm film camera and uses the theme of film 2013. His work is very interesting because he is using the film photography style in black and white. His blog was very nice.
• Overall i think the website FotoFilmic is a good source for upcoming photographers wanting to know more about the artist they are watching. THE Q & A style of the blog reveals a lot more about the artist..

Light Leaked Blog Review

• 
  

• Blog name- Second Nature
• Posted Oct. 28.
• ARTIST- Sarah Malakoff 
• 
  
• The blog light leaked is very simple. They don't seem to post as often as the last site glass tire.com but they do have a lot of well produced blogs. The black background gives the blog a better look then just a plain white screen with black letters floating across. This makes it easier to read. There main post are just about general art, nothing in particular. It is not just a photography blog.
• The article is about the artist Sarah Malakoff photography work. Sarah Malakoff was born in Wellesley, Massachysetts in 1972. She is a student at the Universtiy of Dartmouth. she is known for her large scales photographs produced with lively colors. I believe that her project Second Nature was very interesting. The project displayed nature in doors, and did so with may colors. Her project was very appealing to the eye. I liked the blog as a whole.

Glasstire Article Review

• Title of Blog- Styles and Stances: Filmmaker 

  Charlie Ahearn brings glimpses of New 

  York in the 80s to the Houston Cinema Arts

   Festival

  
  
  
  
  Artist- Charlie Ahearn 
  
• A few sentences addressing the blog as a whole. Some talking points to consider:
• The Blogger is Peter Lucas. Peter Lucas Filmed the hip-hop movie wild style back in the 1980's. The website is rather simple. The website is very easy to read maybe even quit boring. The Blog has new post daily. Most of these post are not just photography, but yet all forms of art.
• 
  
• The article was about the 30th Anniversary of the movie Wild Style. This film was shot in the 80's by Charlie Ahearn. Charlie Ahearn is an avid short filmmaker.  Charlie makes films on 6mm and also uses  super 8 film.  I was very interested in this blog. I was mainly interested in this blog because i think the focus of his film is unique. The streets of New York contain tons of rich color. This give Alhearn a lot to write around. Overall i like the blog.

• • Blog Name- Lesley A. Martin On Mickalene Thomas
  • Artist- Mickalene Thomas 
  • Date- Oct. 17th , 2013
  • A few sentences addressing the blog as a whole. Some talking points to consider:
  • The Blogger is Lesley A Martin. The site is easy to navigate and is very simple to navigate around. It is easy to read and easy on the eyes. It is an art blog that post weekly. I think that the blog runs well long compared to other major blogs i have seen.
  • The article is about Mickalene Thomas's artistic work. She is best known for her large- Scale work . She ususally does paintings and nice portraits. This article highlights her photography work instead of her paintings.  
  • I had to research more of her work because the blog didn't give many items that she had completed. I found out that she was a Yale student that believed photography provided connection between all of her work. In all the blog was cool. I think that it could reference more of her work through the blog, but overall it was helpful. What i like most about her is the use of different patterns and Egyptian flavor that she incorporated into this one piece.

Blog Review- Lenscratch

• IN DARK LIGHT
• CLAY LIPSKY September 6, 2013
• This artist shows what dark light really is. this is what he had to say about his series In Dark Light."This series of self portraits examines my loss of identity and enduring personal journey through depression. It is a solitary path that encompasses loss of home and parent, the pursuit of beauty, work and perseverance under no religious or visceral compass. Imagined as a vast, shadowed plane". This is why i likes this artist. His pictures show a journey and tell a story.

I'm 21, I'm from the Chicago area, and I like taking photos in abandoned houses and forests. Right now I am living in my car and driving around the us/canada and making a photo book. This blog is all original content. A lot of the shots are self portraits. If you have any questions, comments, etc, I'd love to hear from you! 

• Blog Name - Kyle Thompson
• I love this guys work. The style and original content is beautiful. I found his blog on tumblr and went through every  tab. Pictures of trains, old school cars, abandoned places, and just daily life. I really enjoyed his blog.

I like all of these photos because they are all different styles that i would like to shoot. All of theses pictures are from photographer blog pages off the network site tumblr..
