Caroline's project was about Americanized European Culture. Her photos ranged from subtle hints of the U.S. from almost overtaking the whole photo with an American symbol. It was obvious that she put a lot of thought and work into her photos.
With her prints, I thought both of them were strong, very true to the theme and well portrayed. I liked how textually pleasing the Crayola one was. It was also a very clever idea to add the crayons to poles of a bridge. The landscape taken in Santorini was absolutely gorgeous and I liked the simple yet clear postcard idea a lot.
With her digitally edited photos, I thought some were stronger than others. For the Rosie the Riveter photo, I would've added Uncle Sam into the other open window to add the the USA feeling. The one with the cowboy I thought was just a touch too subtle. I would've maybe added one or two more American aspects to the landscape. Even though I thought that one was too subtle, the
"keep calm and carry a gun" appropriation I loved. The red popped out a bit so my eyes were quickly drawn to it. You can't get much more American than telling people to carry a gun. I thought the Constitution appropriation was beautifully thought out and delivered. So props to Caroline on that one because it did not look easy.
