I havent blogged in a while and now that I am on summer break, I thought it would be a perfect time to start blogging again. I don't really have a summer break, because I'm an extremely "motivated" student and decided I would take summer school. I know I know, summer school.... Okay its really not as bad as you would think, probably because I love what I'm studying

So to get to the point of this post. My first day of Modern Latin American art and I think I have found my true calling. Everyone knows artists like Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo but there is SO much more. If you are my friend, than you know that I'm not the biggest fan of modern photography BUT today I discovered, or my professor helped me discover Manuel Alvarez Bravo.

So this one is by far my favorite. Manuel Alvarez Bravo is a Mexican phtographer and was working in a time of civil unrest in Mexico. The title of this photograph "Striking worker, assasinated" tells you all you need to know. Minutes before this photograph was taken, Mr. Bravo spoke to this man, a teacher, about a workers strike. Minutes later he was murdered.

Look at Bravo photography, it is actually good
