Vivian Maier & Street Photography

By Anonymous
Vivian Maier was an American woman born in 1926 best known for her black and white street photography. She worked as a nanny for most of her life, pursuing photography on the side and went undiscovered up until 2007. A Chicago collector named John Maloof purchased a trunk full of her unpublished photographs and negatives at an auction and later posted them on the internet. Her photos soon went viral and brought Vivian's name to fame. Her style of photography is what can only be described as 'bold'. She captures the lives she observes on the street in their raw forms, shooting pictures of strange interactions and perfectly illustrating urban life. Vivian's legacy and the photos she left behind have become an inspiration to photographers all around the world.

    Interesting story and even more interesting photographs! We can all learn from her that subjects of art are everywhere.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

By Anonymous
FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

By Anonymous
      Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
