The first picture named Covered by Shteynshleyger looked plain until you took a closer look. A girl stood in front of a grey background with her back mostly to the camera. The whole thing almost looked staged but you still got a feeling of vulnerability. The girl wasn’t perfect, She had zits on her back and her hair cut looked messy but yet she stood there as if she was perfect.

Another photograph of Shteynshleyger’s also got my attention. When you first looked at the photo you saw a hood of a black car, and on it sat a birds nest. Behind the nest on the hood the sun made a reflection of the trees in the background.  The nest was made up of unnatural things such as tape and colored string and things you wouldn’t typically see. It made a connection between the beauty of nature and all of the unnatural corruption around it. Both of her photographs hit me in different ways, one had more to do with nature and society and the other had more of an emotional impact.

The Loving Story, an exhibit by Grey Villet, told of an emotional relationship through photographs. The room of the museum was filled with photos to tell the story about how a white man, Richard Leving and a native American women, Mildred Leving were not allowed to be married because they lived in Virginia. Each photograph showed the love of the couple. One in particular was of their three children playing outside with such joy in their eyes that it made it hard to believe how much their parents had to go through for them to be where they are.
