I found this film to be very interesting. Adam's, who is usually the one doing the representing, is here being documented. Does true objectivity exist?
Adam's work is incredible, his Appalachian subjects are interesting and diverse, and I enjoyed seeing the artist at work in the film. This film considers aspects of artist, subject and critical response. It also brings to light the imprint that art photography and film create in our conscious.
