FRO12 LC16

Our visit to the photography exhibit on women in jazz was my favorite FRO event. It was quite nice to visit something artistically inclined at Baruch, because one can so easily forget that there is more to the Baruch culture beyond the business academia. The curator had a visible passion for the gallery and enjoyed having students visit. This welcoming atmosphere doubled with actual photographs themselves cast a aura of delight on me as a viewer. Jazz itself is very lively and freeing whether it be a display of joyful, lovestruck or melancholy emotion. The photographers really captured this so that even a simple photo can resonate it back to a viewer. Examining and “feeling” the art, I was transformed from a third person viewpoint into that of a seccond or even first person experience. I was unable to go to the Mishkin Gallery with our own LC16, and had to go with another freshman seminar group. The interesting thing I noticed was the group dynamic. Each of these little groups have such a strong sense of community that without a closer look one can easily mistake that these peers have known each other for a long time. I am happy to have bonded with our class. From strangers to friends, we have had a lot of good times exploring Baruch and college life.
