Lemmings mass suicide is a Disney creation

I love Disney but, as many, I am feeling a fool after knowing that what is shown in this 1958 Oscar winning award documentary, "White Wilderness," is FAKE.
Everything is edited and lemmings DO NOT commit mass suicide. The film was done in Bow River, Canada, and not in the Arctic ocean as the narrator says.
Useless documentary showing lies wins Oscar. That sounds familiar!
This is a harmless lie, but it is a lie. The problem is that everyday there are lots of stories at the news that are also edited in a way that we believe it is the truth.
The myth inspired a game and is in the hearts and minds of many people.
The only white truth about lemmings is that they turn white in winter, a very known tact animals have to avoid becoming a prey: camouflage.

Notice how each of them show it's character. The first one, right to left, wants attention,  the second is asking himself why he is different from his brothers, the third looks tired and... the last one is saying: 
"can't hardly wait to mess all your house up."
I want the black one!
Have a great Sunday!

Van Gogh's La Pietà after Eugene Delacroix

Right: La Pietà by Eugene Delacroix, 1850.

Left: Van Gogh's La Pietà after Delacroix, 1889.

While Van Gogh was at the hospital in Saint-Rémy he kept painting and he had a lithograph of Delacroix's painting that he used as model.

Van Gogh seldom used biblical themes thou he wanted to be a pastor during his youth following his father.

“I am not indifferent, and pious thoughts often console me in my suffering.” he wrote to Theo, his brother.

This is how he describes Delacroix's Pietà:

"The Delacroix is a "Pietà" that is to say the dead Christ with the Mater Dolorosa. The exhausted corpse lies on the ground in the entrance of a cave, the hands held before it on the left side, and the woman is behind it. It is in the evening after a thunderstorm, and that forlorn figure in blue clothes - the loose clothes are agitated by the wind - is sharply outlined against a sky in which violet clouds with golden edges are floating. She too stretches out her empty arms before her in a large gesture of despair, and one sees the good sturdy hands of a working woman. The shape of the figure with its streaming clothes is nearly as broad as it is high. And the face of the dead man is in the shadow - but the pale head of the woman stands out clearly against a cloud - a contrast which causes those two heads to seem like one somber-hued flower and one pale flower, arranged in such a way as mutually to intensify the effect."

Looking at the two paintings side by side is amazing.

The most insanely obvious signs

I found the site AcidCow.com and got these two of their "most insanely obvious signs" because they are at the same time funny and the photos are beautiful.
I decided to publish only one picture because they have to be in a certain scale in order to be seen properly. I'll publish the other in another post.
Have a great weekend!

Delacroix's Women of Algier

"The Women of Algiers in their apartment", done in 1834, is another of the most 
famous of Delacroix's painting.
The right photography (Reuters) depicts the painting in an exhibition and a woman looking 
at the version Picasso did.
Picasso did versions, reinterpretations of 
other artists like Velazquez's Las Meninas, and works of Monet and El Greco. I will publish them.

experiments training photo fine art

passable money for college we can buy some equipment, experiments, and for hunting, reproduce flying hours.
more efficient and more effective than lectures in my fact opinion.
probably no need to take photography classes ... probably better to take the course wrote ... continue seriously and make some exercise ... if serious, would open a photography business is also rich in what must be developed (capital plus of course also ...).. anyways i know me, if propose as a photographer where so, rarely ask for formal education of photography ... Seeing them is usually the first portfolio ... so, we must wrote passable flying hours (practice works in field )...
and I think also that the main business of photography to be a bit risky ... because the demand up and down (because of the many photographers who were scattered as well of course ..) can be many orders this month, next month could slow orders, can this month we offered a lot of photos of people, could be months before there is a bargain ga ...
Well see from history that you say. Moreover, the parents already support for schools abroad .. Well why not .. learning problems that are not concerned with the place. From this internet if we diligently we can make for our teachers to learn to dig up all the available information. Especially with your acceleration.
In the FN could also be a "university" for you to learn photography. Starting from basic photography to pengembangan2nnya. Study nor from the discussion of the article and diforum. Learn from looking at pictures, learn to criticize the photos, learn to accept kiritikan also a very positive learning media happy.

About the university in the country and abroad where good to get a degree / certificate that I do not know the reference one. Because the science of photography that I got, obtained from the Internet (FN one of them), Community and Experience.

The future of photography is still very promising.
If parents already supported, take a photography class in abroad. Although it seems as formal learning and self-taught, believe there are many advantages that can be obtained with our formal lectures. At least we have the basic theories and concepts clearly, so that it can determine the "style" in the future.
If his institution I do not know, there are some commercial photography in Indonesia Brooke graduated from the Institute of Photography, RMIT.
After graduating first internship in abroad and photographer for add experience, after it had returned to Indonesia and plunge into photography for advertising. Guaranteed that if you have a "Quality" improve skill promising future.
As food for thought. Is Photography's "hobby" or "passion". If you do not take college hobby passable.
if my advice is more you can take college design (product, komvis, architecture, interiors, etc.). Why?
because in addition to your study design, you can also learn photography ... while deepening his knowledge of photography, the course you can ... happy
many have taken in that way really ... and many are successful in this way ...
but it also depends on you to relate, work and pray of course.

college fine art courses in photography

1. where the school (not a course) my best photography in Indonesia, IKJ, ISI, ITB or any other reply, sorry even if there may be antecedent LN (krn sdh father relented and want to get to the LN origin pay accountable interchangeable), is there an alumni FN members who have been "finished"
All schools on a good one and capable of issuing the graduate to the top in the industry. The difference is the same lecture course, with a course you can only book covers and table of contents alone usually. but if your college can definitely be 'content'.


if want info school art / photography please go abroad. In new york who that is in booming.

2. Sorry in advance, whether the promising future of this world
college fine art courses in photography
if you are interested - excited - believes - that have enabled all the jobs of the future.
photography schools do not always pass so photographers, it could also be a person in the photography business.
asian market is still taboo to 'nude art', all of which do not pake dress nude. There is no art in nude, in the eyes of a child because there is no difference the between 'nude art' and 'porns'.
For photography in my opinion do not need to take a formal education, because why?
1. Photography was practically an art, so it does not require great brain, all from the heart.
2. Photography does have a theory, but not many .. keep read some book enough for alone, or if there is more money to join a course.

Better (IMHO) you take education who is generally taken, is sustenance comes from the on-top, but it never hurts us to strategize on the areas of 'promising'.
The most peculiar profession even in the hands of the right people, can still be a promising future, let alone photography, smpahpun can provide sustenance for those keen to use it, so it's important maybe college photography business as a hobby, rather than photography school and do not understand business, because seize opportunities at the right time is key to your success!
fortunately to be a professional photographer does not need a diploma, not the case in the medical profession, accountants, and the like, so if you are in college.
