The gallery I went to was the G2 Gallery in Venice. The images I chose to analyze were from the National Parks of Alaska and Hawaii Exhibit. This exhibit explored distinct elements of each of these areas.
The first image (listed below as 1a) that I selected was “Grizzly Bear” by Carl Battreall, which consisted of a bear trekking through an Alaskan national park during, what seems to be, the beginning of spring. This image was produced to show a bear in an environment that one would not normally perceive as the cold subarctic climate of Alaska, instead showing a world of bright colors and lush green plants.

In order for this picture to be taken, the photographer must have set their exposure high while also setting their shutter speed slower than one second in order to capture the shape of the smoke escaping from the volcano. My favorite part of this image is that the center of focus also appears to be the silhouette of a woman, which just adds an extra layer of depth. While I do enjoy this photo, I felt that it was a little clustered due to the inclusion of the all the foliage that does nothing but provide noise. Overall, I believe the photographer was attempting to personify the volcano by showing us the world in which nature exists without

When I arrived, there was no one else there besides me and the librarian. To be honest, I probably would have never gone to an art museum if my teacher didn’t require me to. This was my first time attending the Wittliff Collection, thus I asked the librarian, “Is there any other artwork besides Southwestern and Mexican photography?” She answered, “No, the Wittliff is known only for Southwestern and Mexican photography.” I smiled with a sense of embarrassment and continued to view the different photos. As I walked through Wittliff, I became overwhelmed with all of the different types of photography. There were so many amazing pieces that it became difficult to select which one to write about. However, I finally managed to choose three unique photography pieces by Alinka Echeverria, Geoff Winningham, and Keith Carter.
