Melting figures

These ice figures were created by the World Wildlife Fund to raise awareness about global warming.  There were 1,000 figure all up, each of which melted throughout the day on the steps of the concert hall at Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin.

"A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?"

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school."

"Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them!"

"I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war."

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." 

"Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."

Christopher Walken, circa 1979

Baby Shaped Pears in China

In Hebei, China, farmer Hao Xianzhang has successfully created and sold baby-shaped pears. Inspired by the bookJourney to the West, in which eating imaginary baby-shaped fruit leads to immortality, Hao attached fiberglass and plastic molds to young pears for six months to give them the baby shape shown in the photo above. So far, Hao has sold nearly 18,000 pears at 50 yuan (or $7) each.

Alfred Eisenstaedt

When Japan announced its surrender New Yorkers took to Times Square.”There were thousands of people milling around, in side streets and everywhere. Everybody was kissing each other…And there was this Navy man running, grabbing anybody, you know, kissing. Whether she was a grandmother, stout, thin, old, didn’t make any difference….I ran ahead of him because I had Leica cameras around my neck, focused from 10 feet to infinity. You only had to shoot…I didn’t even know what was going on, until he grabbed something in white. And I stood there, and they kissed. And I snapped 5 times.” -Eisenstaedt

You have to be willing to take a big risk to accomplish this look, but  I think it's worth it.  I want one in my home someday.

The Decisive Moment

An artist who relied on both spontaneity and what his own eye tells him, Henri Cartier Bresson detested cropping. To prevent his editors from liberally cropping his pictures, Henri Cartier Bresson sent his pictures with a black border—the frame he himself imposed at the instant he snapped the picture. Considering this, it is very ironic that the jumping man picture that he is best remembered for was one of only two pictures he cropped.

Salvador Dalí

Starting in the 50s, Dalí painted several of his subjects as composed of rhinoceros horns. According to Dalí, the rhinoceros horn signifies divine geometry because it grows in a logarithmic spiral.

Today I wondered about Amelia Earheart

"The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.  The fears are paper tigers.  You can do anything you decide to do.  You can act to change and control your life;  and the procedure, the process is its own reward."

I'm considering growing some wheatgrass

Supposedlyyyy 1 ounce of fresh wheatgrass juice is equivalent to 2.5 pounds of vegetables in nutritional value.  So, I meannnn...why not?

Nostalgia

I put this album cover up yesterday, but today I developed a few things I want to say about it.  Its 70 out, beautiful day and I went bicycle riding by the river side and it was beyond great.  This activity sparked a lot reminiscing of when I was little where I was always either rollerblading or on my bike.  The smells of the streets reminded me of when I was little for some reason, bike riding as well made me feel nostalgic and the way my hands felt after is something I would feel all the time when i was little and just the overall feeling of riding fast on my bike, i felt that liberty that I felt when I would do that on my block back in the day.  This album reminds me of my childhood as well and I passed a house that called my attention today and it has a little sign that said The Who Art, I don't know what it meant, but all tied together it was a great to day of feeling little again which is nice to do every once in a while.

You've got a very important date

March 5th, 2010.  Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.  I can't wait that long to see it!  I've heart that it's actually a sequel, it is 10 years later.  Alice is now 17 and about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types at a party.  She runs away following the white rabbit and in doing so falls into a hole and there her second adventure in Wonderland begins.

Rogier Van der Weyden

Portrait of a Lady (circa 1455).  It is his most famous work.  Some people find her forehead to be too tall and not realistic, but it was actually the fashion trend of the moment.  Women would wax the hair off their foreheads to accomplish that effect.
