I was asked to write a review about this blog post "where have all the surfing cowboys gone" which was created by a fashion blogger named Rumi Neely. The images were taken in Venice Boulevard, LA and below I have written my own views about the images taken.
I find that by looking at this blog post it is very difficult to grasp exactly what the artist is trying to portray. The title "where have all the surfing cowboys gone" doesn't really fit in with what the model is wearing because as you can see from the photograph she is wearing a short white dress with white trainers. However once I sat and really analysed the photographs I came to realise that perhaps the message she is trying to put across is that she is longing for true romance.
I thought of this because Surfing could define that she feels there are no men out there who are surfing in search to find a woman. Also Cowboy can define someone as being reckless and taking risks and maybe she is wondering why no men are taking risks any more to find love.
The models facial expressions come across as she has had enough of waiting around, she is always looking away anxiously in the hope of finding her lover.
By the model wearing a short dress I think it shows that maybe she thinks she will be more recognised by a man as she is showing off more of her body but by wearing the trainers I believe she is trying to portray a message that she shouldn't have to be all dressed up just for a man to look at her or recognise her, she should just be able to feel comfortable in what she is wearing and still have someone nice approach her.
