I'm not really quite sure how I feel about these photos. On one hand, I like the writing. I think it adds a personal touch to these photos that lack otherwise, we would have no idea who this woman is. But on the other hand, I think it slightly takes away from the aesthetic and compositional qualities of the image. I'm not sure. Interesting definitely to say the least.

I love Jeff Walls work. I love how his images just seem to be snapshots of daily mundane life and yet if you pay a little attention you start to notice how off this image really is. How outside the window is perfectly exposed, how the girl who is reading is lit up yet the lamp is not on, etc. His mashing of lord knows how many images to create this one, simple, image creates a kind of irony almost and a definite commentary on the technological abilities of this day and age.
