Purpose

Ongoing CHALLENGE !!!

If your picture has been blogged here, it means that it has appealed to over 300 art jurors (currently 50 active) for a whole week or more. That is an achievement!!!

... and what does that mean ??? well according to This ... it means your picture is "... extremely resistant to people wanting to get rid of it", :)

If you see one single picture in this group that you think is not art, please say so (by commenting on it) and tell us why. If you are convincing - we will remove it. This group is to show case the most resistive pictures from the
B&W Art Photography - Is Your Art universal

Guilt and chains and lips of tragedy. And when our world's fall apart.

There's a pain, a famine in your heart, an aching to be free.'

LENIN, ALEXANDROVA Y NIXON


LENIN, ALEXANDROVA Y NIXON, originally uploaded by bocángel.


Una de las mejores fotos de mi vida: Alexandrova haciéndose una foto con Lenín mientras Nixon mira hacia otro lado. El comunismo y el capitalismo mirando hacia sitios diferentes, un líder político que cambió el mundo al crear un sistema político y otro que tuvo que dimitir de su cargo por el escándalo Watergate. Una imagen que resume media historia contemporánea. Hoy día son atracciones de feria.

Each touch is a spurious signal and we withdraw into curtains and showers of splintered glass.

Fated signals fear reproach from the truthful engine.

Easy come and easy go.
That's the deal that we all know
This is this and that is that
Let's just say it's come to that
Life is like a miracle.
We all find the things we love
Let's all try to understand
Than all go to robotic sands.

Last kiss

Preparing the road, a last goodbye to yesterday.
Home town, no contest for family point of view.
The weather is good for a long trip and outside is strongly calling: this way to go against inside sweetness.
