You - The Artist, Post your work - any medium, any art!

Here's some of the stuff I made:




More to come in the coming weeks.

My first handknit sweater.

Those are so awesome! I just made my boyfriend a scarf a month ago or so. It wasn't so great, but it was the thought taht counts hahaha.

Those are great great great though I wish i could do complicated stuff.

Thanks!

I've been doing a bit of photography over the holidays, my mums boyfriend is a photographer in america so he's been teaching me (and he got me a camera!)
So i've been playing around with my Sony a100. Apparently not that many people shoot with Sonys...but i like it (maybe coz its all i know lol).

Discovered that I love macro lenses, and messing around with the WB. still getting the hang of shutter speed but i love that i don't have to use flash to take a photo at night.

Unfortunatly i'm at my grandma's house and dont have my photos with me. i'll post that half decent ones when i get home.

YAY!

YAY! Another one! If you ever join flickr, you can find me on there...

Hopefully see you there

Well thats over. This is what was said to me on the holidays by the 'boyfriend':
"I'm giving you the camera"
"You'll take amazing photos in France"

"Oh, can I have the camera back? I'll send it over again, don't worry"

Three months later.

Not a word.
Fuck! I actually really, really enjoyed taking those stupid photos.

I'm sorry to hear it. You can still post some of your old ones or just work with a basic camera (if you have one) and try to focus more on frame/composition...and later the other aspects when you have a newer camera.

Some semi-recent stuff...

I had seen some of your pics while visiting your flickr account, they are really nice ones.

Thanks, Lilian. I had always wanted some kind of artistic ability, but I really couldn't manage to play an instrument or draw very well. Photography doesn't take much natural talent, I suppose.

Madre By Maria Guardado (pictured above)

Hijo mio donde estas que no te encuentro
Te he buscado por barrancas
Por veredas, por rios, y por mares,
Y por diferentes lugares
Que me dicen “allá hay muertos.´´´

Me has sitiado por dias en las playas
Mirando fijamente hacia los mares
Como esperando que surja un gran milagro
Que los tumbos me traigan tu cadaver.

Regreso traumada, taciturna,
Buscandote en las cabezas
Que cuelgan y que ruedan
Con lujo de barbaridad
Por los enemigos del pueblo,
Pero hijo mio, tú, no estás,
Son los hijos de otras madres.

Terminé con la última alternativa,
Hijo de mi alma,
Buscandote en toditos los penales
Donde salí con mi corazón
Fortalecido por el coraje
Porque mi único delito es el de ser madre
Y sin piedad me golpearon los guardias animales.
Hoy ya dije, no te buzco hijo querido
Aunque tenga mi corazón hecho pedazos
Le pediré a Díos tranquilidad
Para recibir como hijo verdadero
Esa cosa por la que tú andas luchando
Y de la que tanto me hablabas que era bella,
…que se llama

LIBERTAD! LIBERTAD! LIBERTAD!

Photography requires a talent for composing the shot and knowing what will look good, plus technical knowledge of how to produce different effects. It definitely is an art. Don't belittle yourself!
