Lynne was born July 3, 1944 in Racine, WI. She unfortunately died on May 12, 2014. She studied art at University College London from 1964-1965. She then received a B.S. in fine arts and art education from the University of Wisconsin. She also received a M.S. in fine arts from Eastern Michigan University. She began teaching photography Algonquin College. As I researched more about her I leaned that the pictures in her book were supposed to show the unpopulated territories. She wanted to show how awkward these spaces were.
The reason that I like her pictures so much is because they look clam and peaceful. There is one picture in the book of grass, two chairs, and a counter. Some people would look at that as a boring place. She took it to a different level and snapped the picture to make people think why did she take this? What was the purpose of this? Another picture it looks like an abandon skating rink. I saw it and made the connection to a skating rink that I know of that just came open for business not to long ago, after being shut down for a long time. People would see this and think that it is sad. Another picture that caught my eye is a picture of two chairs, a table in between them, and a painting on the wall of tress. This picture reminded me or a peaceful waiting room. Then as I look a lot closer it looked like apart of a room in a very expensive house. The last picture that caught my eye was the picture of the tennis net with the picture of the trees in the background. This represented an old tennis gym that closed down. Why this caught my eye I have no clue, I like the position she took the picture and the angle of it.
She wants to represent the unpopulated territories that once had many people in them. When I first went through the book I thought she was just taking less pictures, but as I sat down and looked at them more and more caught my eye. Photos represent different meanings to everyone even after you really sit down and look at what the photography was trying to capture.
