What does the word styrofoam mean?
Read about it at my blog post, "The word Styrofoam has origins in trees."
As flickr user MewDeep pointed out, "That fence has a lot of personality." Indeed it does. The caked-on white paint speaks to the age of the fence. This butterfly must have liked this fence a lot too, because it decided to spend some time posing on it.
The Filterstorm iPhone app came in handy for this shot, because as with anything that is dark on top of a white background, the tones will be off in the exposure. I locally dodged the butterfly to bring out the details in his plumage. The stark sunshine also helped to bring out his details. Just look at how harsh his shadow is from the sun.
Flickr rates this photo as my 6th most interesting photo of 2012. Get my insight into the ten most interesting photos of 2012.

More like Transformer face. This was totally an Autobot's face. In fact, I bet the artist made it as one of the faces of a Transformer, but then someone else came along and said it's Beethoven's mask.
There was a long three paragraph description on the caption, but I didn't bother reading it. This is a transformer face if I ever saw one.

One of my favorite photos from this day, the traffic guard came over and asked me what all these flamingoes were about. She even asked me if I'm the one who planted them there! It's cool how she's at the same angle as the flamingoes. When I saw her pop up in my viewfinder, I used my non-camera hand and waved while my camera hand snapped the shutter.

The most inspiring artwork at ArtChicago this year. This 8-foot wide canvas is massive with an equally massive subject. I've been thinking about going back to making paintings, but I didn't know what to paint. Now I know. Not just bridges, but massive architecture.
I really like all the methods of painting Alexey uses. The scraping, patching, swipes, splatters, washes. All done to give solid volume. A solid mass. I really like the strength of this painting.
Many people walked by and commented on how they liked the painting. They would look for 5 seconds and then walk on. Which is fine. But when you investigate this painting and all the techniques used, this painting becomes captivating. One of the things about artwork is the empathy the artist can envoke through the evidence of creation. That is, the signs of how the work is created. That's why Pollock's work is so captivating.
With this painting Alexey is definitely in the same class with Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Gerhard Richter, and Anselm Kiefer.
This painting is being sold at ArtChicago 2011 by the Art-Kvartal Gallery, Moscow
59x98
$28,000

The thought of getting lost in life gets back more frequently these days.
I keep doing random stuffs when I am supposed to do other things e.g. making lame posters instead of writing essays or designing a time-consuming powerpoint background instead of actually preparing the presentation.
Is it me who's actually good at nothing or is it just my journey of passion seeking too long?
One thing for sure: I really have to stop procrastinating.
