visual journal. assignment thirteen.

if i could photograph any historical event, what event would it be and why?

i would have to say either woodstock or the Nazi's rise to power(not to the point of the killing. just Hitler's rise. probably to the point of the Reichstag.)
woodstock because of the mood. i would have loved to capture the energy, not just the motion. i would want to capture the feelings and emotion that the bands feel while playing, and how the people feel by listening. i would want to capture more than it's mainly remembered for; sex, drugs and rock n'roll.
for Hitler's rise it's more complicated than i can explain. i don't approve of what he did, nor do i look up to him, i just find him facinating. he was so twisted i would want to get pictures of him when he is at his lowest. i would want to capture more pictures than just the famous ones of him looking like a strong dictator. i would want his emotions to show.

the whole secret of existence is to have no fear. never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

artist vs. viewers view of the art work.

i feel that the artists work is not supposed to be viewed the same way as the viewer may see it. the artists work comes from their heart and the viewer is supposed to let the artwork speak to them and their own emotions.

so lost.

i have no idea what's going on in my personal life now.
since college is dealt with, i now must deal with everyone in my life. decide what i want.
this is all too complicated.
everything is just spinning.

i cannot wait to take these pictures for photography though. matty is going to look amazing. no one seems to entirely know him, and i can't wait to take pictures of him in the way i see him. i think they'll turn out lovely.
i wanted to take some pictures of katya as well, in a more 1930s aspect, but she's been absent the last two days): feel better katya!
but then i'll be taking pictures of megan figs and her gorgeous curly hair. loooooove it its amazing and beautiful and sngjklshsgkjx.

what i will do for my set up shoot.

i will be shooting matty.
for one set i want to use the usheka(sp?). i will have him wearing white clothes and a white backdrop with his hair and eyes dark.
another time i will shoot him with twinkie(cause they are so cute.)
and i want to shoot megan figaroa with her hair crazy and curly.

i will be using the usheka(sp?) my minolta, and MY NEW CANNON XSI.

if you could only shoot one thing the rest of your life what would it be and why?
MY POODLE, MISTY, OF COURSE!
why? what kind of question is that?
misty is perfect. she poses, she's pretty, and she's my favorite person out there.

my life as a pathetic fencer... by ariel martin.

WELLWELLWELL, this week is going by too slow. all winter seems to do is make me suffer every year. slowly getting colder and colder... i need the warmth of the sun again. i need to eat fruits on my porch with misty, and hopefully the new puppy.

i wish i could paint like that.

i think i'll make matty start teaching me(:

that too. mmmmm<3333
