Ernie Button
I was browsing food photography and came across Ernie Button’s
work. I decided to check out his series
called Cerealism and found some interesting work. I was particularly drawn to the images I
selected because of their creativity. He
created these miniature landscapes using cereal pieces standing in as the
subject matter for objects that are very much larger than the cereal. The attention to lighting and other details
in the scene give the impression of a realistic setting. I find the work humorous yet imaginative especially how he describes his work by
looking at the individual nature of objects and the unique qualities each
possess.

I found this body of work by Anastasia Pottinger emotional and captivating. I was at first attracted to the lighting and texture in the images that I had to take a closer look at the article and wow. This is not what my focus for current work, yet I found something inspiring about it. It provoked memories and also a connection to the relationships I have with the older woman in my family. The use of black and white is considered timeless yet the subject reminds us that we are not.
I apologize for the graphic nature of the work. However, I cannot help but to also make the
connection between the lines of aging our bodies create to the lines and textures
we see in nature such as landscapes. Plus, we live in a society that is scared
to age or are urged to always look younger, but of course nature does run its
course. It was interesting that the
models came to her! Instead of hiding what
majority of society calls imperfection, they wanted to share their story
visually.
