I really like this photo by Cindy Sherman and I got it from http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/2007/snapshot/snapshotinfo-lg.jpg. I really like this photo because it shows that she's kind of shy because she doesn't want people to see her facial expression and how she feels and looks. I also like how the background and the subject are not fighting for attention; how the background is a plain field of grass and fence. I like how she's the only thing that's in focus showing us that she is the subject. I also like how the photo is in black and white because that's more simple. Color would have ruined it because it wouldn't have shown her shyness as well and more simply.

I want you to dig a little deeper about Cindy Sherman and try to figure out more clearly what she is trying to communicate in that photograph of her hiding her face with her hands.
There is a LOT to learn from Sherman. I like much of her work.
