Judith Joy Ross (American, born 1946)

1988. Gelatin silver printing-out-paper print, 9 5/8 x 7 11/16" (24.5 x 19.6 cm). E.T. Harmax Foundation Fund. © 2010 Judith Joy Ross
224.1989

I chose each of these images since they are both of people loooking directly at the camera

They both have in common that of being women and relativly young. Each could be rather pretty
They dont have in common is that of nudity compared to being in swim suits. That the one on top is a model and the othwers are just young kids posing for a candid shot

Rosenberg is wrong due to the account that images are currently still being used in a different way then was in style the first time the show was released. 


I chose this one since it has a cool design
I chose this one for its subject



I chose this one for informal composition

I chose this one for its black and white qualities.

This is one of my own. I chose this because of the dreary day that it was taken.
I chose this one for the bright red and the old style fire Hydrant.
I chose this one since the area I was walking in was a little run down.
