As seen recently on the Internet:

It seems like these amateur photographs of Barack Obama during his college years are getting a lot of attention. The idea of a woman digging negatives out of her basement from a bygone college photo class is pretty cool, but I was disappointed by the images themselves. Maybe this is missing the point, but I found the compositions uninspiring and the feel of the photos to be rather posed/acted.
I haven't been seeing enough art lately, but I'm making a resolution to see the traveling exhibit of Dawoud Bey's "Class Pictures" at the Contemporary Museum. The prints themselves are big (30 x 40 inch color prints) and I cannot wait to see them. I'm also eager to read the one-page pieces the subjects wrote, which are displayed with the photos.
