Paul Shambroom 2nd Visiting Artist

The artist Paul Shambroom was a great artist. His document style photography made me think of my Dad. His military pictures were my favorite. Seeing the pentagon pictures was funny because i had seen that room before. I could relate to a lot of the pictures. I thought the portraits he did were funny and serious at same time which was not a bad thing at all. The kind of photography he did is what I hope i can do and get payed for it in the future. I like that he was more of a documentary photographer then a fine art photographer. I agreed with him on not liking artist theory books. People get to obsessive into reading those books and doing as they say. It was interesting learn how many underground missels are in the U.S. I would have never guessed there was that many. It just reall ycaught to my liking that his photos are more about informing and teaching then fine art. Im not putting down fine art but i like documentary style photos then fine art photos. Overall the guy was great photographer and did really well.
