I look at hundreds of photographs everyday and I’ve noticed that how people take photos is in direct correlation to how they live their day to day lives. This may not sound like a startlingly profound fact but, put simply: your personality can create the biggest barrier to achieving interesting and unique photographs.
The simple act of capturing a photo of something impairs your memory of it, even if you don't plan on keeping the photo. That's what a new psychological study has found, but the reasons behind this are still unknown.
LSU photography student Katie Joy Crawford has personally struggled with general anxiety disorder for over a decade. For her senior thesis exhibition, she chose to make her inner experience the subject of a series of self-portraits. The project is titled "My Anxious Heart."
Did you ever have a 'comfort object' as a kid? Maybe it was a security blanket, or a beloved stuffed animal that you carried around everywhere. Maybe you still have it somewhere in the attic where it's more socially acceptable now that you're an adult.
These objects meant, at least for a time, the world to us; A connection to security and safety that was, if irrational, also undeniably comforting. And it's these objects and the children who love them that make up photographer Anna Ream's recent series Comfort Objects.
