David Meanix





The reason I like all these pictures overall. Is the texture that is brought out when the old photo is torn. The white detail in the first photograph brings out the characteristics of the man's face. The camera shows age because of the torn pieces. The detail from that makes the camera look old and covered in spider webs. The last one does not have visible torn pieces. But, the old photo used for this does blend itself with the feature of the other man; making an odd face.

I do enjoy Meanix's art style. The torn photos add extra detail to the new photos. It can come out beautiful, like the camera, or somewhat creepy, like the last man.


My fears are:

Scopophobia: The fear of being looked/stared at.
Athazagoraphobia: Fear of being forgotton or ignored or forgetting.
Enochlophobia- Fear of crowds.
Gelotophobia- Fear of being laughed at.
Claustrophobia- Fear of confined spaces.

Cyber bullying is getting stronger and more hurtful by the minute. People everyday get bullied on the computer by people who think that this type of bullying is different. Text hurts as much as words.
