Wegman Exhibit Reflection

The William Wegman Exhibit was located at 257 Bowery Street, Brooklyn, NY.  Once entering the building, to the left was the front desk, which provided a short informative paper regarding the exhibit. Once past the front desk, there was an elevator at the opposite end of the room that went up to the 3rd and 4th floor, which is where the exhibit was located.  Once exiting the elevator, there was a small window to the left of the elevator, under which was a chair with a short booklet discussing each individual photo.  To the left was the exhibit room, displaying approximately 15-20 photographs.  The 4th floor also had an identical layout.

This exhibit was about Wegman using his dogs as subjects for his compositions.  They ranged anywhere from using them to portray human models, to more abstract photos.  Each photo was also a polaroid, which meant that there was no editing done to any of the pictures.  However, I believed the exhibit was more based around humans than anything because the dogs were posed and dressed in a human-like fashion.

    Your first paragraph says very little about the exhibit itself and is almost a narration of your trip to the gallery. Your observations in the second paragraph are good. it is important to state that these pictures could not have been manipulated because they are polaroids. Where is your third paragraph?
