Thin

The series "Thin" by Lauren Greenfield is a documentary about the struggles that women go through concerning eating disorders. This series came about when Lauren went to a hospital and took pictures of the patients. Over time the girls came to be comfortable with Lauren and invited her into their homes. That way she could capture the lives of the girls. This series is journalistic. The series does not make he feel uncomfortable about anything. I think that it is wonderful that Lauren Greenfield was able to capture the lives of girls with eating disorders. I think the series is pretty well off on its own, however, if I was to improve on it I would photograph/document the reactions and actions of the girls' friends and family. I can not compare this series to anything in my life because nothing this has ever happened to me, but I think it is great that Lauren Greenfield can show girls what could happen to them.

What Will I Photograph?

Since this project is about showing people the world what we, as members of chatauqua county, see in the area that we live, for my project I have decided to photograph the change from winter to spring in Lakewood. This progression will show the beauty of Lakewood in both winter and spring. I will accomplish my task by photographing nature around Lakewood, capturing the beauty of the winter wonderland in what we call winter. Then, as the weather slowly changes and the snow melts, I will record the emergence and innocence of spring. To accomplish this task I will need cooperation from mother nature. I need the trasformation from winter to spring to be a smooth one.
