My Photographic Eye-Things that Represent Me

Poetry Slam-The Perfect Friend

It's hard to find a friend so patient, kind, and true.
It's hard to put someone dear and close to you.
But in you i found a true friend indeed,
a guy of good thought, word, and creed.
You make me smile, you make me laugh, and you also make me cry,
but I know that you will be the one, right there, to dry my eye.
You always know how to bring joy when there's pain,
even when the day begins to bring rain.
I never thought you'd be in my life,
through the good times and even through the strife.
I can call you when I'm happy, when I'm sad, or when I'm blue,
I know that you'll be the one to help me make it through.
Even when we're mad and we fight and we fuss,
there is reconciliation for the both of us.
You are my one true and dear friend,
You will always be with me to the very end.
I love, honor, and cherish you the most,
You are the number one guard standing at my post.
I'm here to tell you now or even tell you then,
YOU are my one and only PERFECT FRIEND!

I Know What Art Is

Michelangelo's painting of the Sistine Chapel is the definition of a beautiful work of art. This wonderful masterpiece shows one of the greatest artist to ever live at his best. The ceiling took years to paint and required a lot of time and talent that only a great artist like Michelangelo could put forth. The ceiling painting contains hundreds of scenes from the bible and is very symbolic. As long as I have truly appreciated art, this work always inspires me every time I look at it. If anyone where to ask me what is art, this painting would always be my example.

The Color Purple

Rarely is a film made that I would personally consider a work of art. One of those few exception would be The Color Purple. From the awesome cast of characters to the insightful and inspiring plot, this movie has it all. Anyone who has had the privilege to watch this movie in its entirety will not find it hard to agree with me concerning this movie. This movie was a off-shoot of Alice Walker's book of the same title. The movie was made famous when Oprah Winfrey and other celebrities starred in the all-time classic. This movie will always be an awesome work of art to me.

Human nature in art form

So often I have heard people say that a picture says a thousands words. In this case, this picture sums up the human nature in one click of a digital camera. The human nature that we as humans posses is good. When trouble arises its a result of bad influences from our environment. I chose this picture because it show the loving nature of human, an essential part of the human nature. We by nature love, but by experience and influences hate.

Human Condition in art form

This staircase at first glance seems to have no connection with the human condition. But once I sat there and really thought and analyzed its meaning, the connection was undeniable. A staircase is the perfect example of the human condition. No matter how far we go up and progress, there is always steps we can take to go higher and higher. The perfect and most desirable human condition will never be reached just like the top of the stairs in this picture. This picture correlates to the human connection almost identically. Just like in these steps the improvement of the human condition should be a daily step-by-step process.

The Media is a culture because...

The media and its many off-shoots are considered a culture to me for a number of reasons. The media world as a whole fits the definition of a culture through its behaviors, beliefs, institutions and works. The people who are involved and employed by media institutions all have this certain atmosphere around them that influences there views and outlook on life similar to that of a legitimate culture.
