The Photograph as Contemporary Art, Introduction, Ch.1-2

In the introduction a piece that stood out to me was the piece by William Eggleston which is "Untitled" but I feel like it could have been called "My Giant Kid's Tricycle" because when I saw this piece reminded me of the movie "Honey I Blew Up The Kid" and this tricycle shot would have fit perfectly in the movie (11). While reading chapter 1 I was very intrigued by the piece by Sophie Calle entitled The Chromatic Diet because of the different colored foods that were on each colored plates and when I read that Calle ate food with a single color for six days was very interesting because I can eat almost anything that's considered food (23). This piece also reminded me of this diet called the BRATTY (Bananas, Rice, Apples, Tea, Toast and Yogurt) diet which was made for people who had to slowly bring easy digestible foods back into their diet and I remember eating this diet when I had food poisoning which isn't very fun. In chapter 2 a piece that stood out to me was the piece by Wendy McMurdo entitled "The  Glance" which utilized digital technology to create an illusion and it reminded me of my brother and I and since were twins we could easily create this illusion without the use of digital technology (63).
