Art of War

  • Art of War #70
    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.

Signs of Desperation

This just arrived in my Inbox.  How desperate are the writers of Newsweek when they can offer me .38 per issue - delivered in the mail?  Readership must be way down.  I buy lots of magazines when I go back to the US, mainly the ones that are almost out of business since the USPS changed magazine and book rates last year.  Never Newsweek.    

Dear Amazon.com Customer,

As someone who has shopped for books on news and politics at Amazon.com, you might like to know that you can subscribe to Newsweek for 90% off the cover price--that's just $0.38 an issue.

Newsweek is written with a global perspective for a global audience. Each week, it offers comprehensive coverage of world events with a distinguished team of correspondents, reporters and editors covering global affairs, business, science, technology, society, arts and entertainment.    

Subscribe to Newsweek for $20.00
