In the most simplistic of terms, the photo I chose to share shows my group having fun. Alice Austen had two distinct styles of expression with her photography. One side was that of the documentarian, in which she showcased everyday life with photos of people and communities on the street. The other was an expressionist window into her personal life. The ladder example is closer to what my group attempted to recreate. In Austen\u2019s original photograph she set up a shot of her and her three friends hugging each other in a somewhat intimate way. When I saw this photo it struck me by how contemporary it felt. The photo closely resembled a group photo that I would take with my friends during a night out. This personal resonance was the reason I selected it for my photo reenactment. In my group we attempted to have the same framing as the original photograph, the major difference is that we attempted to make a heart shape with all three of our arms (I ended up botching the heart shape because I didn’t put my elbows together <\/3 ). We did this in part because we were just having fun, but also because we wanted to recreate Austen\u2019s free spirited style. Our reenactment illustrates community because it shows how human relationships are, in the most basic form, about spending time with one another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
