New Artist: John Poppleton

Black lights are freaking sweet! To see someone put such time and effort into making art is astonishing to me! This work is gorgeous!

These are beautiful works of art!

Botanical Gardens

Courteney B.

This is Courteney, I saw her at school one day hula hooping outside. She was playing The Beatles loudly over her car stereo, and I just had to go talk to her.

Then, over the weekend I just happen to run into her at a show called Bass Cave!

Japanese Lantern Festival

Japanese Lantern Festival at the Missouri Botanical Garden  

Shroomie!

I have an eye for nature! Photographing the small parts of nature has always been a thing of mine. I like to roll all over the ground, getting as close as I can to the Earth, trying to get the best shots as possible.

South Carolina

Here are a few snap shots from my family vacation to South Carolina!

Only Half.

 

Seeing this flower only half open brought me to the flower. I was just walking back to my truck after class and saw a whole patch of these flowers, but this particular one was the most interesting to me. 

Graffiti

"The whole world owes me nothing... We owe each other the world"

This is some very powerful graffiti on a giant trash box in St. Louis. I was going to Life In Color with my friends Daniel and Tina! We got a little lost while looking for a parking spot. I saw this down a sort of alley, the skechtiness of the location really drew me to the trash box when I saw the message someone had left. 

Plantation House (Color)

This is the plantation house in full color!

Punkin Blooms!

This is a bloom from a pumpkin plant we have growing in our front yard by our pond! We never planted any pumpkin seeds, we just threw out last years pumpkins and they planted themselves and took off! We have got 4 cute little baby pumpkins, feet upon feet of vines and multiple blooms!

First Broken Bone!

Well y'all, we have our first broken bone in our family! Lily broke both her radius and ulna in her forearm, she has 2 metal pins in her bones now! Unfortunately, she will have to have another surgery in 3-6 months to remove the pins. She has been so tough and brave throughout this whole thing! I'm very proud of her for being so strong! She had a craving for a big ole greasy burger from McDonald's yesterday, so we just had to take a selfie! 

New Artist: Harry Callahan (1912-1999)

Since our assignment coming up is about light and form I have chosen a piece by photographer Harry Callahan!

Callahan’s central model and muse was his wife Eleanor Callahan, and after her birth in 1950, his daughter Barbara.

Lily Ann

 

I'd like for everyone to meet my amazing, smart, talented, and beautiful sister! 

This is my sis, Lily! She is 12 and is very special. Lily has a pacemaker, she has had it since she was only 5 years old. Lily plays on a kick-butt softball team called The Crushers, she is a pitcher! Lily is also very good at drawing, she likes to draw people and characters! 

This young lady right here is the strongest and bravest person I know! I love her to the moon and back. 

Froggie!

 

What a cute little critter! My family and I have always been fond of cute pond creatures. My brother Joey caught this guy the other night! 

New Artist: Dorothea Lange

This amazing photo was taken by Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression in North Carolina, 1939.

 During the Great Depression, Dorothea Lange photographed the unemployed men who wandered the streets. Her photographs of migrant workers were often presented with captions featuring the words of the workers themselves. Lange’s first exhibition, held in 1934, established her reputation as a skilled documentary photographer. In 1940, she became the first woman to receive the Guggenheim Fellowship.
