Sally Glass "Incidental Insider"
July 1 - August 4, 2010
Baruch, 2009
My experience living abroad for 10 months oftentimes found me craving a sense of belonging, which was complicated by the fact that anytime I wished to photograph a native stranger, I was automatically placing myself in my subject's immediate awareness as an external source of potentially undesired attention. Each of these photographs represents a daily effort to challenge myself to step outside my own personal boundaries in order to capture specific human and environmental manifestations of the ethnically and historically rich culture in which I was immersed during this exciting time of my life.
Sally Glass is a photographer born and raised in Dallas, TX. After graduating from Texas Christian University in 2006 with a degree in psychology and philosophy, she decided instead to try her hand at capturing visual moments that endow the mundane everyday with magical qualities. She hasn't been without a camera since. She adores her family and friends and her hobbies include dancing nude on rooftops and watching 60 Minutes with her grandmother.
