Rachel Perron - photography

It was pretty discouraging looking through David Snider's pictures after taking my own. It was definitely impressive, and it is pretty hard to believe that something so artful is essentially just capturing real life. When Snider mentioned he was recording the river of live that flowed around him, I asked myself if that is what I saw. I think one of the challenges I had to (and perhaps didn't) overcome in my three photos assignment was letting myself fade into the background, to gain the perspective that would have allowed me to see life as it happened, without myself included.  Snider did capture things that the unassuming person would miss, but he didn't go digging for them, which is a unique talent that definitely shows in his work.
