I’ve been working on a project for my photography class called “roberta custer photography” (RCP). It’s a project we’re doing to help explore the concept of self-awareness through photography. Using a mobile phone or tablet, I use it to record my thoughts and emotions while doing these shots.
This is a very common practice for many photographers. Ive been meaning to post a tutorial on how to do this, but haven’t been able to figure out how to do it. So far Ive only used this technique on the iPhone and Android. The idea is to have you use a camera and a mobile phone to capture the way you feel about an event. You get to record your thoughts and feelings without ever giving them voice.
I thought this was overkill for the most part, but the fact that I can capture my thoughts and emotions on a mobile phone is a big deal. This is different from being in the world of video because you are in the world of your own voice. You can capture your thoughts, feelings, and emotions without being in the world of a camera.
Photography is about capturing the world in a way that is not limited to a phone’s screen. You can capture an event in a way that is as real as you are. This is a big deal because when we are talking about a world where we are not limited by our phones, it is a world where we can truly experience the realness of an event.
This is the same idea that is at the heart of the idea of “realness” in art. By this we mean that if you are standing in a room and the light from the room is reflected in a mirror, then you are viewing the room from an object point of view. By having an object point of view you can truly experience the “objective” reality of an event.
The idea of realness in art is an idea that has been around since the Renaissance. Artists have created and shared works of art that truly show the objects they were creating. That is, they have created works of art in which the objects in the room have a point of view. When one sees a work of art, the objects in the room become objects of the artist’s imagination and so has their own point of view.
Artist Roberta Custer was an artist who thought about things in a very visual way, especially when it came to the way a person sees things. He was one of the first artists to use photography as a visual way of capturing reality. He was a talented painter, sculptor, and sculptor as well. He was famous for his portraits, which are now exhibited in the Smithsonian and the National Portrait Gallery.
The works of Roberta Custer are actually displayed in the Smithsonian. The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, has a large collection of his work. His paintings are also on view in the National Portrait Gallery, the Museum of Fine Arts in the Smithsonian (which Custer also frequented), and the Academy Museum. All of these places are free, though you must make an appointment.
Roberta Custer became a celebrity in the 1960s when the New York Daily News ran a picture of him with the headline “ROBERT CUSTER SHOWS HOW TO MAKE A SILLY PICTURE”. Custer became a well-known celebrity in the ’60s when he was a member of the original rock group the Byrds.
The exhibition also includes a portrait the artist did himself, of Custer with his then-wife, actress Debbie Reynolds. She was married to Custer for less than half a year and has a picture of her with him in the National Portrait Gallery.
