Short List #2


1. Like vs. Love: This video I found while clicking through YouTube one day completely caught my attention. At first I was struck by the look on the peoples' faces, frozen and bug-eyed on the screen, so of course I had to click play. What I found was a funny video that also taught a good lesson. It brought up the point of how we in the English language, overuse the word love and therefore, we lose the true meaning. It was hilarious and really made me think about how often I say "love." It is a must watch video sensation.

Katie, a close friend of mine, is a senior in college and is starting up her own photography business. This link will take you to some of her beautiful snapshots, like the one above. She specializes in weddings, family portraits, and engagement shoots, but she has the gift of being able to photograph just about anything and make it look special. She has a modern flare to her work, but it never overpowers the meaning of the image. Her cutting edge skills are already getting her work noticed by many, and I'm sure her business will continue to flourish.


3. Real-Life Disney Art:  JirkaVinse
Jirka is an extremely talented artist that has the ability to see reality in the common cartoon or animated character. He can create an image that is so lifelike in appearance, yet the observer can still tell what famous character he is portraying. In the above art, he pictured Belle, from Disney's classic movie, Beauty and the Beast. Somehow, he perfectly captured her personality and put it into a realistic appearance. It's fun to look through his artwork and recognize each lifelike portrayal of a well-known Disney character.
