Review Photography Exhibits #1

Photographers: Jaromir Funke and the Amateur Avant-Garde
Location: National Gallery of Art
Date: Jun 6, 2009

It was great to see photographs by Jaromir Funke and the other photographers represented in this exhibition. Variety of the size and all B&W gave me an inspiration to be able to see things I can not. There were some impressive photographs out of his remarkable works such as “Roofs in Mala Strana”, “Childlike Scene”, and “Untitled, from the series Time Persists 1930 – 1933”, which showed me an example of how to see things in different angle, and crate a totally different meaning by taking a picture of two unrelated structures, a statue trying to put a circle material on the top of the a tall chimney.

There are photographs by others.

Sun light through Cathedral window made a fantastic
scene like some kind of inspiration or blessing from
the heaven
