During my work there I took a three-month leave of absence to complete a Fulbright Research Grant at the Komarov Botanical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia, where I worked with a botanist to translate his book from Russian to English. Tuesday's inauguration certainly provoked me to think about the very real differences that exist between the United States and the other countries where I have lived recently. Armenia is a former Soviet Republic, but Russia refers to it as one of its southern outposts and its western border is protected by Russian troops. On the other hand, this mountainous southern Caucasus country has the largest U.S. Embassy and per capita U.S. aid in the world.

While you could call it photographic recycling, it is the transformation of the common snapshot. She uses found photographs - old snapshots, the ones you've got cartons full of in your attic that never made it to a photo album - as her subject matter. "They're somebody else's snapshots," said Waggoner Deschner, who has collected more than 10,000 photos, snapping them up from eBay, mostly. "They were taken for one purpose: to remember a time or place or person. Then, they get lost. When I find them, there's sort of a resurrection." Lacking artistic merit on their own, these candid, quickly snapped shots, with everyday images of common themes - from sparkling '50s kitchens to ordinary backyards - are scanned into her computer, where she digitally crops and enlarges, enhancing the composition. In her series titled "Underneath," Waggoner Deschner boldly inserts one or two brightly colored, flat geometric shapes, covering a portion of the black-and-white image, leaving the viewer to wonder what is blocked from sight. "I want the viewer to look at it with a different eye," she said. In her "Hilite" series, she uses pale, translucent colors on circular sections of the photograph, which she duplicates and moves "to get the viewer to pay more attention." Waggoner Deschner, who is a graphic artist in Billings and works as a curator and gallery director at Rocky Mountain College there, said in her artist statement that she's "working to uncover what these records of reality can teach me about our essential humanity." What she has learned is that there is a great sense of connection through our themes of commonality.
