Great Things 12/9-12/15

So I forgot I made this blog but I remembered earlier today and Have decided to start writing in it religiously. I have so many thoughts in my head it seems like I need a place to release them all so this is where that will happen. I have also decided I will make a weekly post called "Great Things" and it will be a list of things I have encountered over the week and think are great. So here you go.

Great Artist: Tay Zonday
Tay Zonday is a sing and musician I heard about and looked up on you tube. His voice is very unique and he has an interesting style of musit. I find his song Hypnotising. Not only is he a great singer/pianist, he is a great song writer. Some of his songs are about issues in the world, others are just fun quaky songs. What I love most about him is the fact that you can see the joy he gets from creating music in his face. It brings a smile to my own face. Im having a hard time posting his video so I will post the link instead.

You can view his Youtube Page here >>>http://youtube.com/TayZonday

Great Photo: Invasion:America by Jensen Walker

This photo series depicts an America we have never seen before. It gives us a chance to see what it would be like if the US was invaded by the Middle East. I love this series not because of the political statement but because it challenges your reality. It makes you think. And that is the point of Art. There is nothing worse than art that's "pretty" but not thought provoking.

Here is a link to Jensen Walkers blog where you can learn more about this photo and others he has shot. http://jwphoto.wordpress.com/

That concludes this weeks Great Things. I had more I wanted to add but I need to go to sleep. Good Night.
