My quote of the week:


"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman was born in New York, she is considered a film director and a great American photographer. She is most well known for her self-portraits.She enrolled herself in many art classes (actually flunking out of a photography class due to the lack of her technical knowledge. She was inspired later on by a professor who told her, "just take pictures". She was majoring in painting at the time then after she began taking lots of pictures, loved the instantaneousness of photography and switched. She is known for typically photographing herself in a range of costumes and scenes. She really broadened the role of woman in photography.
