Photo Pairing

The top image is from a show I attended in the basement of the first Unitarian Church, the bottom is a sketch mimicking  graffiti that I observed on the Broad Street Ministry church.  I believe the two should be paired because due to the lighting in the top photo, it appears she is having a epiphany.  There is also a connection because the two were located at a church.

These two images are paired for humerus aspects.  The one on the left was a poster plastered all down Broad Street while the one on the right is a sticker I found on a pole.  The man on the right would be a very awkward one night affair due to the fact that he seems preoccupied with his balloon.  I also liked the contrast from the bold colors to a thin sketch.

These two belong together because they have the same theme.  The one on the left is graffiti of someone expressing concern about another mentally moving on, while the train depicts physically moving on.

Study Abroad

At lecture, the ability to study across seas was discussed.  Today Rome was mentioned in particular, I do wish to study abroad but Rome holds no extreme interest for me.  It was however helpful to learn about how to apply and the costs involved.  It made me think about my options because I am not sure of what I wish to major in and that sometimes causes conflicts.  I will hopefully one day study abroad because the overall experience seems like one I would enjoy.  Although this particular lecture did not specifically pertain to me, the information is good to have.

Photo Trip

My experience taking photos was very bizarre.  My bike messenger friend and I went biking around the city taking photos of places he used to live and various other places that are nostalgic to him.  Sadly, I dropped my camera destroying it as well as the photos it held.  So tonight, in the freezing cold I decided I wanted to take pictures of various graffiti art located around the city because I personally believe that is one of the most beautiful aspects of Philadelphia.  I also focused on my other love, bikes.  I always inspect every bike I pass anyways but this time I captured it in photo form.  For my found objects, most things I came across were nasty trash but a few things held artistic purpose (ex. a ticket stub outside of the Kimmel Center).  I really enjoyed this experience because although people stared at me like a freak as I stood taking a picture of a vandalized trash can, I got to take the time to analyze art that is normally overlooked.
