Stumble

Nothing can send a message as quickly as a piece of artwork can. By the time the light reaches your eyes and is interpreted by your brain, it will have already had its affect (intended or unintended) on you. It can make you laugh (I hope this one made you chuckle a little) or scare you, break your heart, lift your spirits. The possibilities are endless! What a gift to us from our Creator...the ability to create. It's amazing! Ever since I've been "stumbling" across photography websites and the like, I've come to appreciate art in all different forms all the more. The things people come up with ... This image came from a collection of interesting urban art. Much of the street art I have seen is so creative because the artists don't take what they see around them and translate it into their own perspectives only to have it put on display in a neat gallery or exhibit. These artists expose their creativity to the elements, not afraid that they will be rained on, ripped, smudged, or destroyed because the cement, fences, poles, streets, and dumpsters are just as much a part of their creation as the art they produce. There is one artist (I forgot his name!) who makes tiny people, and puts them in interesting places in the street doing interesting things (I know...my descriptive skills are impeccable). He takes pictures of them and usually don't ever see them again. But for some person somewhere, he could be resting on a railing overlooking the bay and, out of nowhere, see a tiny man in fishing garb just chilling there waiting for the catch of the day, sitting and pondering with him. Now that's more surprising and intriguing to me than walking through a florescent-lighted, glass-cased art show.
Anyway, I don't have much left to say since I just kinda blabbed a bit because I wanted to write enough so that the text wraps around the picture for a geometrically appealing effect. And since I seem to have achieved that, I will end it here. =)
