The Howard Wright family, owners of the Space Needle, have made plans to create a 44,500 sq ft exhibition hall to showcase Seattle artist Dale Chihuly. This hall is set to take over the old location of the Fun Forest. This space would not only include Chihuly’s art showcase, but also a retail shop and a cafe. Altogether the interior space would be 21,500 sq feet.
“By comparison, the Henry Art Gallery has about 14,000 square feet of galleries, the Frye about 12,000 square feet.)”

I can’t wait until the day I am living in my dream house and have total control of how I’m going to decorate it. Today, I found one addition that I would like to be a part of my dream house: the Polaroid scarf.

These photographic scarves are made by French designer Philippe Roucou. I kind of wish I could buy all of them so I could design a room with just these scarves on the wall… They are part of his new series entitled objets trouvés (found objects.)

Today, I wrote a paper on what it means to me to have freedom and how this relates to theology and the Christian view. Too many times in my life, I have felt confined. Confined in space, confined for five minutes, confined in good company. To look back on that now is selfish. I get to go to school. I get to pursue whatever I want [and I am!] There are many people in this world that don’t have this privilege. There are some people who will never leave jail ever again.
Photographer Matthew Rainwaters shot this series entitled “Offenders,” which captures a brief overview of two inmates in the Texas Department of Justice. I would post under the cut several photographs, but this one series that I believe you should take a look at for yourself.
Take my word for it.

A part of me would like to believe that all photography is good. That your eye is your eye is your eye is your eye. I’m not the best photo critic. I definitely didn’t start out being an expert but over the years I learned. With experience you learn more than just what you like and don’t like, but what is photography and what …isn’t. Seriously, there’s a lot that isn’t. Also, you should know that anyone can “say” that they are a photographer. Just like anyone can say they are a singer, a designer, a model, an actress etc etc. Until you have something to show for, we don’t believe you. Back yourself up with something and learn your craft. I’m a firm believer in people who are driven and goal oriented – but don’t talk yourself up. Anyone can say they want to be anything. I’ll use myself for an example, I used to want to be a dancer and an astronomer based on no experience at all when I was little! Here’s what I don’t want to see in a photograph:
Over-edited, over contrasted, flowers, leaves, photos that you snapped for no reason and then realized you could do something with it once you got home, done, done, and done. Take a second and think about what you are shooting.
I guess this is coming at an interesting time because Facebook friends are now asking me to become “fans” of their photography pages. Good for them, for wanting to get their name out there. I think it’s nice to see that you’re working hard towards your dream. I support my friends. I support passion and drive. I don’t support cliched photographs.
Anyways,
Christopher Gilbert recently shot this series that is both witty and humorous. Thought I would share:

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a decent photography post hasn’t it?! I just came across a collection by photographer Meg Wachter today called “Dumped!” In it she uses her friends for models and they give up their rights to Meg allowing her to dump various food and fluids over their heads while she snaps their reaction.
LOVE IT. The above is Pepto-Bismol. yum.

I was never any good at chemistry. It’s probably because my periodic table was not designed like this…

Absolut has quite the publicity team. They have taken a new direction that doesn’t obviously say, “Buy our brand of alcohol!” Instead they have used actresses Zooey Deschanel and Kate Beckinsale to automatically catch your glance first before you see the Absolut bottle in the left hand corner. Can you believe that that is Zooey? She almost looks more like Hilary Duff. In the above video, Absolut contacted groups of different artists from all over the world to define the philsophy of Absolut Vodka.

I am in awe when I come across these types of projects online. They embody everything that is real in this world. Everything that is true and genuine and there’s just not any bullshitting. I hope someday I can formulate a yearly project much like this one and like others that I have seen.
Someone Once Told Me… is a photography project that is full of life lessons, tales, and advice that we have heard before or haven’t! It is updated daily by Mario Cacciottolo who wanders the streets of London to capture these photographs that make up this amazing website.
