MS 190: Authorship is the course website for the Fall 2006 Media Studies senior seminar at Pomona College in Claremont, California.
Because everybody loves a blog about videogames...
I was listening slash watching the ABC news podcast on itunes the other day and there was a brief segment about a photographer by the name of Philip Toledano.
Toledano, an artist out of New York City has recently completed a series of photos taken of people playing video games. Being a huge gamer himself, Toledano said he had noticed that while people are playing video games, they display these extraordinary emotions and reactions that you don't normally see. In addition, some people exhibit these somewhat abnormal ticks when they become completely immersed in a video game.
As he so appropriately says on his website, "I wanted to take portraits of people that would reveal a hidden part of their character. So I had them play video games."
You can find the photos here: http://mrtoledano.com/frame_videogamers.php
