On Reading
Artist André Kertész’s exhibit On Reading is a
prolific collection of still photographs taken from 1915 to 1970 featuring
people reading books, an act that has become less common today due to new reading technologies. To pay homage
to this concept, students in Carl Jones’s Photography I class set out to capture present-day images of people reading
print media. Students also took the photos, such as these images captured by Chong Li ‘12, using traditional black
and white film to “use one form of evolving art to document another form of evolving art.”
