Photografias

I've been working on printing larger scale prints of my digital photographs I took this summer in Peru.

I love this one:

John Cohen, a rather famous photographer was recently brought to my attention with works that really resemble my shots. Things haven't changed much for these people over the years...

A Place for thought

This space has, in the past, been useful as a way to share images of my work with family and friends who care. Since then, I've created new, more coherent sites for this as well as for professional uses. (See www.maliareeves.blogspot.com and http://maliareeves.wix.com/maliareeves) Someday I might even have enough money to pay for my own domain name! :)

I feel as though this old blog now has the potential to evolve into a new role... A place where I can post half finished work, share ideas that float into my overloaded mind, or credit the many inspirational things that influence my art.

I'll start by posting the photo I took this summer in a very small village in the Lares region of Peru. After failing at communicating with these young girls (I speak spanish but they only spoke Quechua), I pulled out my sketch book and pen and and they LOVED it. It sounds cliche to point out the incredible universal nature of art but I was never more aware of it than watching these girls draw.
