  Billy's Adventures 

( Self-Portraits — Judy Dater  ) Judy Dater   Judy dater was born on June 21, 1941 in California. Her photography was based on the movie theater that her father had owned. For three years, she went to UCLA to major in art and later went to San Francisco State University, in 1962, to major in photography. This photo was chosen because it connects to what I was aiming for when I did my self-portraits. I wanted to capture myself in a made us background with something that I liked. This photo reminds me that I should feel comfortable in what I like and be around something that I like. When I did that, it included one photo of me with art materials and the other with bookbags and shoes. The others were just close ups of myself to express how I am when people I don't know are around me. My portraits express the two sides of me that people may see.  ~Charise J  

(  Tseng Kwong Chi: Exciting Fall 2018 Updates (mailchi.mp)  ) Tseng Kwong Chi    Tseng Kwong Chi was born in Hong Kong and later moved to Canada when he turned sixteen. He later studied painting and photography in France. Tseng Kwong Chi interest in photography started when he was travelling. He liked how Asians tourist were when they were travelling and so, he wanted to recreate that in his own way.

Most of the time, according to the article, he took his pictures by himself with no help. T...

(  http://www.artnet.com/artists/duane-michals/  ) Duane Michals   Duane Michals was born on February 18, 1932 in Pennsylvania. He went to the University of Denver in 1953 and got his Bachelors of Art degree. By 1956, he became interested in studying photography but became a photographer that expresses emotions after he quit studying. Michals likes to do a series with his work, multiple exposers, and texts. His main component in his work is text because he would want people to understand what he may be coming from. He express his meaning in poetry, tragic, and/or humorous.  This photo was chosen because I am aiming for something like this for my final project. My idea is to incorporate my drawings with an image of a mirror to give some type of emotion. The image shows a person inside the mirror and outside of the mirror which is something I want to try to aim for.  ~Charise J
