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

"it's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards" 7/6/08

i remember that when i was very young i would put my hands over my eyes when i didn’t want to be seen - i believed it made me invisible

Years later i recognized that when people acted in certain ways i imagined that they must be feeling the way i would be feeling if i were to act the way they were acting

The patton family lived behind the house i grew up in. One day I asked mrs. Patton why they named their dog Lucky given he only had three legs - she said they called him Lucky cause he was lucky to be alive.

Later the patton’s oldest sun died in a car wreck - Rumor was that they had to pick up pieces of him for a hundred yards. Not much later mr. Patton just sort of seemed to dissappear. he was a postman but even at my age i knew that delivering the mail had nothing to do with why he was gone. there’d been weeks of shouting and things breaking. In my neighborhood you could hear everything. i figured he was dropping too many things and mrs. Patton must of just got fed up and told him to leave. My parents didn’t seem to have an opinion on any of it.

Between the one thing and the other mrs. Patton wasn’t hanging as much laundry as she used to - truth is i thought she was kind of pretty in an older woman sort of way and i liked seeing her whenever i got the chance - but now it was mostly Lucky hoping around his backyard acting all territorial and grouchy as if he’d been blamed for recent events and it was up to him to put an end to the downhill slide - i got the feeling that i was on his list

CURSILLO NATACIÓN


CURSILLO NATACIÓN, originally uploaded by bocángel.

Si Clara nació en 1997 esta foto tiene que ser del año 2000 o 2001. Último día del cursillo de natación y a los padres nos dejan ver a nuestros cachorros y hacerles fotos. En vez de hacer las típicas intento "ir un poco más allá", como digo a los que critico las fotos (y espero me sabrán personar). Creo que la serie es magnífica. Por cierto, que al enseñársela a una conocida, dijo "las típicas fotos de la piscina". Por poco la mato.

Jonah in Beverly Hills, 1924


Jonah in Beverly Hills, 1924, originally uploaded by P.S.Zollo.

The beamish boy & I
boarded the time-machine
again - and this time it was
more fun than that time we went
way prehistoric and the
giant lizards were chasing us -
this time we landed at
Douglas Fairbank & Mary
Pickford's Beverly Hills
mansion, where Jonah
played ball and swam while
I dran champagne with Fatty Arbuckle
and danced with a dame by the name of
Mabel who had fine gams-
back in the jazz age days
of 1924.

Do you indentify a person throught his mask? / His desire for liberation?...

Nobody really knows
Where they're supposed to go
Hiding behind a wall
Afraid that they'll lose it all
But it's alright
Just follow the light
And don't be afraid of the dark

La preuve que la terre est ronde, c'est que les gens qui ont les pieds plats ont du mal à marcher!

La preuve que la terre est ronde, c'est que les gens qui ont les pieds plats ont du mal à marcher
MAIS
La preuve que la terre n'est pas ronde, c'est que j'ai du mal à marcher avec mes pieds ronds

The proof that the Earth is round, it is that people with the flat feet have problems to walk
BUT
The proof that the Earth isn't round, it's that I can't walk easilly with my bended feet
