Really great work from all
Chris, that's a great idea... combining both walks
covers all audiences!
Michael, the photos of Madelena are great
Beautiful moments, beautiful girl.
David, I'm also really enjoying the noir photos... I spent about half an hour in a book store yesterday reading a big book on noir films... a well spent half hour! The other hours were spent reading comic books of course
Jim, really nice photo as well... it's so dreamy! :S Sorry for confusing people with the film photos...
Rob, so many birds...
I have a friend who's afraid of birds, that would've been a nightmare. And naturally (well... because of rain is kinda natural right?) curly hair is a gift
Hillary's mom has naturally curly hair, but she spends a good half hour every morning making sure it's straight... a shame really
Ashwin, summer's not over yet
We'll make the last few weeks count!
Just a little pondering today. Hillary and I got into a little discussion about artists now and artists back in the 60's - 80's. I was saying how it'd be cool to live back in he 60's - 80's, when a bunch of really cool artists took time to hang out with each other, get to know each other, and make friends with one another. Hillary said that it still happens now, but in a different way... everyone just spends time online, and artists aren't as recognized now, so if they DID hang out, it wouldn't really matter to the masses.
I argued that because everything is so digital, what happens is that a relationship is lost. Though, I came here and... well I sort of proved myself wrong. It's true what she says... we kind of just hang out online now, but the relationship definitely isn't lost. At the same time, I kind of still stand by what I've said... just because the works of greats of our era are so disconnected, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms.
THEN that got me thinking that it's really nice to see everyone's work here. It's nice to see what everyone else sees in their daily life. I feel lucky to be able to experience Michael and Madelena shopping, Rob and his kids wandering about, etc. It's something that is important to keep alive, especially when most of what I see in magazines and websites nowadays are impersonal studio portraits. It's nice to see the work, or at least mentality and ideas, of a few of my favourite artists surviving through little online communities like this.
