Henri Cartier-Bresson

I find the French photographer Henri Catier-Bresson absolutely fascinating. I love the stark and simple, yet incredibly compeling aspect of his black and white photos. Below are two of his exhibitions. The first is titled "After the War, the End of an Era", the second "Old Worlds: France". Cartier-Bresson spent most of his life on the road, photographing the changes in the European and American landscape for the latter half of the 20th century. Much of his work deals with how to portray and account for the changes that come with change and Modernity.

Boobs@Bard

This is a blog that I came across a couple of days ago and thought was really entertaining...it's called Boobs@Bard. For some reason, I just don't think anything like this could ever survive at Oberlin. Take that as you may!






Just found out there's also a Boobs@Harvard...I went to the website and there was nothing posted yet. I guess the battle of the breasts will just have to wait.
