A few weeks ago, a friend and I went to First Friday on Broad. It was pretty cold that night so we didn't do much walking around, but I did get to see some really cool art. Some of the stuff that stuck out in particular was this one gallery that had a bunch of black and white photos of different things. Despite this having been done a million times before, the subjects included things such as strangely organized groups of people which was really interesting to me. In another gallery, the artist used certain chemicals on photo paper to distort images and create patterns. This exhibit was very cool as well because I had never really seen photography materials being used like that. One final gallery that we visited had this piece in the middle with little pieces of paper on it. The directions on the side of it said to write what we wanted to make. Being who we are my friend and I said orange juice, but some of the answers were quite incredible. It was strange but informative in a way to see what everyone else had put up there, some things silly and some too deep to understand, From this experience, I've learned that I'd like to get more involved with photography and elements of it as well as interactive works of art.
