Art of War

  • Art of War #101
    For some time now I have struggled with the juxtaposition of art and war. Sometimes a stark black and white photo isn't enough of a dramatization of war. I believe that the effects of war and conflict become more dramatic when juxtaposed with something beautiful. It is more of a reminder that with death and destruction we forever lose the beauty that is life. Is there life after death? Perhaps, but I can imagine nothing more beautiful than what I witness on this planet. I, for one, would rather spend my moments living a beautiful life just in case the end is really the end. Each image in the series will have a different look, dependent wholly upon my emotions at the time of creation. No image is meant to malign the victims, but rather bring a new perspective on the constant cycle of destruction by humankind.

George Carlin: The American Dream

The American Dream...you have to be asleep to believe it.

George Carlin died of heart failure yesterday.  I never really thought of him as a comedian.  In my eyes, he was a philosopher who could make you laugh instead of slitting your wrists from the hopelessness of it all.

This is one of my three favorite sets from his career.  In less than 5 minutes, it conveys everything I hope to expose in this blog.
