Write a short personal reaction to the movement, photographer or term you researched. What is interesting or not interesting about the work (50 – 75 words).
I personally find Laura Gilpin's work amazing. The photographs of the land scapes are packed with sharp details. Some of the photographs are very simplistic but provactive, and others are very busy and capavating. The photo attaches uses repeating lines effectively to catch the viewers eye, and almost gives a sense of movement across the sand.
