    Twisted Trails of the Wold West by Matthew Baugh © 2006

    Twisted Trails of the Wold West By Matthew Baugh © 2006 The Old West was an interesting place, and even more so in the Wold- Newton Universe. Until fairly recently only a few of the heroes and villains who inhabited the early western United States had been confirmed through crossover stories as existing in the WNU. Several comic book miniseries have done a lot to change this, and though there are some problems fitting each into the tapestry of the WNU, it has been worth the effort. Marvel Comics’ miniseries, Rawhide Kid: Slap Leather was a humorous storyline, parodying the Kid’s established image and lampooning westerns in general. It is best known for ‘outing’ the Kid as a homosexual. While that assertion remains an open issue with fans, it isn’t what causes the problems with incorporating the story into the WNU. What is of more concern are the blatant anachronisms and impossibilities the story offers. We can accept it, but only with the caveat that some of the details have been distorted for comic effect. When the Rawhide Kid is established as a character in the Wold-Newton Universe he provides links to a number of other western characters, both from the Marvel Universe and from classic western novels and movies. It draws in the Marvel Comics series’ Blaze of Glory, Apache Skies, and Sunset Riders as wall as DC Comics’ The Kents. As with most Marvel and DC characters there is the problem with bringing in the mammoth superhero continuities of the Marvel and DC universes, though this is not insurmountable.

It builds on previous scholarship of black photography by analyzing photographers’ business and personal records in concert with their images in order to more critically consider the circumstances under which African Americans produced and consumed photographs every day.

Nishimoto began taking photos when she was 72 years old. Having started out as a beautician at the age of 18, switching to become a professional cycle racer at 22, she gave up her career when she married five years later, and went on to raise three children. Nishimoto first picked up a single-lens reflex camera when she was asked by a friend to attend a photog- raphy class taught by Nishimoto’s photographer son, Kazutami. “At first, I didn’t know anything about photogra- phy—I only joined the class to make new friends.

  • Art 340 Procedure: A. Look for Found Photography Anywhere

    Art 340 Procedure: A. Look for Found Photography Anywhere

    Project 3: Found Photographs Art 340 Overview: Found photography is a genre of photography and/or visual art based on the recovery (and pos- sible exhibition) of lost, unclaimed, or discarded photographs. It is related to vernacular photogra- phy (common), but differs in the fact that the “presenter” or exhibitor of the photographs did not “shoot” the photograph itself, does not know anything about the photographer, and generally does not know anything about the subject(s) of the photographs. Found photos are generally acquired at flea markets, thrift stores, yard sales, estate sales, or literally just “found” anywhere (internet). I as- sume you are not allowed at this time to leave your home, so internet will be the main source for the images used in this assignment. Much of the appeal of found photography is the mystery regarding the original photographer or subject matter. There are possibly three practices of looking that influence inferences made in re- gards to the origin of found photos: (1) Voyeurism-which a photographer must be, the term comes from the French voyeur, “one who looks,”, (2) Sherlock Holmes’ style deductive reasoning, (3) Surrealism, like the eye’s of a cultural anthropologist. He describes the ideal found photography exhibit as inviting a viewer to sample all of these viewing practices in order to achieve two results: to force a viewer to consider the effect of their own perceptual process during their viewing and to build the widest spectrum of possible meaning within the limitations of found photography. Some History: found photography actually falls underneath the umbrella of found art, which has its origins with Marcel Duchamp and his Readymades he found (used) in the 1910s.
