My photographs

In class today we talked about photography as a kind of art. I personally love photography. I love taking pictures of nature in particular. I would love to have a DSLR camera, but they're quite expensive (starting from $500).  Below are some photos I took. Click to make bigger...

Witty and Funny Art

I love stand-up comedy (good ones) and Demetri Martin is one of my favorite comedians. I was watching one of his shows and he showed some of the art he had drawn. I found his art very witty and humorous.

 

August Burns Red

I heard of a new band called August Burns Red and even though I don't like scream o music, the lyrics of this song are very good and the instrumentals are amazing. The lyrics are very insightful and have lots of depth. This is the kind of art I like. One particular line reads, "You're hurt, you're broken. That's all right. This might be what it takes to wake you up." Art  tries to reveal a perception of the artist. These lyrics do the same. Theses lyrics reveal a unique perspective of life that I find very original and feasible.

Trip to the High Museum : European Design

Last Sunday I went to the High Museum of Art and saw the exhibition on European art.
Among my favorites were

1) Nuvola Hanging Light

This cloud shaped light really got my attention. It moves around and squirms as if something is inside it moving around. The Nuvola lets off a soft white light thats not too bright, but that is just right.






2) You Can't Lay Down Your Memory Chest of Drawers

This chest is a bunch of drawers bundled together with a belt. It is suprisingly stable. I just thought it was very original and also amusing.  A weird fact about this chest is that it was designed in 1991, but made 17 years later in 2008.











There were many other works I liked, but these two were my most favorite.
