Blog Prompt 8: Trans Photography, Palinodes, & Medium Specificity

By 9 pm on Friday October 29, please post a 600-word response to the following prompt:

Gayle Salamon's chapter "Transfeminism and the Future of Gender" and Jay Prosser's chapter "My Second Skin" both offer critical readings of photography that addresses the relation between trans/gender embodiments and the medium of photography. Drawing on one or both of these texts, choose one or more photographs from the following artists and provide your own reading of it:

Del La Grace Volcano
Loren Cameron
Jana Marcus

Link to or embed the photograph/s that you are analyzing, and be sure to think about how the medium specificity of photography is at work in the image that you chose.
