High speed Photography

High speed photography is a beautiful thing. Moments that happen in only a matter of seconds can now be captured for all to awe at. Photographs of bursts, colors, smooth changes that we might have never seen in our lives can be caught in high speed photography. Questions like "What does a balloon look like while it pops?" can now be answered. My favorite out of all of these is the wine glasses. The smooth transition of red from dark to light is absolutely magnificent. A simple gesture, like pouring wine, can now be caught in high speed photography as a beautiful work of art. Which it is. The simple, yet elegant way the wine curves as it falls into the cup is a simple gesture. In no way is high speed photography is beautiful.

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 Posters

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.
