The first persons photos that I'm reviewing are Jessamyn Lovell's Catastrophe, Crisis, and Other Family Tradition photos. Her main purpose throught this particular photo shoot was to show the different struggles that many American families have when facing disabilites, religion and being around your family. Lovell attended Rochester Insitute of Technology and got her MFA in photography at teh California school of the Arts and crafts. The series is supposed to show the differnce and changes that her family ahs experienced throughout there lives. I also liked how most of her family meembers were bigger than some other people and how she arranged them in the photos to look beautiful amd tranquil. Overall I particularyl loved how Jessamyn portrayed each one of her family memebers in these pictures and would love to take some photos like this at some point.

The next person that I reviewed was Maureen Drennan and her series: Meet Me in the Green Glen. Maureen chose to portray the life of a marijuana growers life. I especially loved how she portrayed the man whos plantation it was. He seemed cut off from the rest of society through his field of work, but at the sam time him and his family and workers lived a privliged life. Maureen who really emphasized how secluded these peoples lives were really made me want to get out and take photos. I also loved how she framed the photos so it seemed that no one was ever around, which was probably the case in the frist place. Maureen was born and raised in New York City and has taken pictures there for her whole life. Overall I loved her style of photography, and hopefully can reenact what her pictures looked like.
