Tiger Woods infidelity????

For the past week or so, Americans have been consumed with the sexacapades of all-world golfer Tiger Woods. The story focusing more on how could it be that golf's greatest, who by all accounts portrayed an image of perfection, family, dedication and hard work, be so calloused as to treat his wife and every other women he bagged along the way like they were nothing but cheap call girls?

The coldness and low-brow attitude of these home-wrecking vultures which Tiger Woods was bedding at a Walt Chamberlain type pace, tells you about where this country is morally and socially. Instead of stories about outrage from women's group's, feminists, & family advocates, the media continues to find ways to try and preserve what is left of Tiger Woods commercial appeal.

I have not heard one story about how woman are outraged at these blood-sucking mistresses who knew that Tiger was a married man and a father of two. No one has come out publicly and condemned the actions of these cheap-shot divas hoping to improve their fortunes via having sex with a wealthy sports or pubic figure. To me these are Bimbos in the truest sense of the word.

But to many, this is acceptable behavior and a potential route to a Reality show windfall. This is why it is laughable when so many women resort to bashing Sarah Palin who represents good family values, moral clarity, and is fully committed to doing the right thing. These same women, choose to remain on the sidelines and not take a stand. It is almost as if they condemned these women they themselves would be labeled old-fashioned or Conservative.

Ultimately, Tiger Woods is the most repsonsible person for all of his transgressions. He took the marriage vows and ultimately broke them all. He is a coward. He betrayed his wife and family as well as the public's adulation toward him. He is a phony as we now have come to find out. His handlers packaged a larger than life hero. A biracial sports icon the likes which had not been seen since on the Golf course since the days of Jack Nicklaus. His talents paved the way and allowed for the meteoric ascension to God like status. Hated in some circles and beloved in others.

His penchant and thirst for perfection and to be the best, compares to that of only a handful of greats in any sport - Michael Jordan the most recent athlete that comes to mind. A cut-throat mentality and indefatigable drive to win at all cost, best describes the approach taken by these athletes. It is also what makes them unique and the best at what they do.

But underneath that exterior of greatness, bubbles a different type of quenching thirst. A thirst to perhaps conquer the prettiest and best looking girls. The thirst that perhaps makes him prove to himself that he can get anything he desires not only on the golf course but off the field as well. Perhaps it was a shot at all of his critics on the golf course. Not only can I beat you on the golf course, I can have any woman I want anytime as well.

The veneer that once covered up for all the flaws of a great athlete have slowly started to come off. Lest any help from women who have been the victims here but with help from his enemies on the field. This might be a chance to perhaps bury and destroy their number 1 nemesis and somehow give them a chance to be considered the best one day.

RIZE UP!


RIZE a documentary movie about the Krumping Clowns. Picture is of Tommy the original clown.
How is this related to us as photographers? or in life in general?
I think that the way they used something they are passionate about to express anger without any violence. Many of these people have grown up in harsh worlds. Not only in this particular area do they go through hard times. The energy these amazing dancers have is phenomenal. So shouldn't we have this energy in everyday life? YES! Our photos should also reflect that energy and our life put into a picture.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE.

Current Events

Decisions Shut Door on Bush Clean up Air Steps.

WTF?
Any major steps by the Bush administration to control air pollution or reduce emissions of heat-trapping gases came to a dead end on Friday, the combined result of a federal court ruling and a decision by the head of the Environmental protection Agency.
The E.P.A. has said this plan Bush was making had fatal flaws for regulating the heat trapping gasses like carbon dioxide. Stated that it would be an expanision of the authority it has. Well i really dont want our planet DIEING! so expand your authority.
Stehpen Johnson relayed his message he has been trying to get across for months that they do not intend to impose on any controls on emmisons that can cause climate change. Bushs admidistation was attacked by saying that they have not reduced any air pollution so far.The main debate is wheater these gases are harming our health or not. Besides that fact I think any progress or ideas considering controlling pollution and clean air should stay firm.

Obama Calls Kanye West 'Jackass'

On live air at the VMA's Kanye West rudely interrupted Taylor Swift as she was receiving the award for Best Female Video. During a CNBC interview with President Obama the topic arose and Obama called Kanye a Jackass. BY FAR the best thing Obama has said all year! Terry Moran posted a tweet before the official release of the statement but shortly took it off apologizing to the White house. Why wouldn't you put something real on TV?? Everything on there is fake so exploiting something real is beautiful! I love real argument and also the fact that Kanye got put in his place for being rude and disrespectful! Just because he is a great artist does not mean he should do what he did. Boo on him.

My roommates dreams would be shattered but their chemistry online is electric!!!! So there is always something to look forward to with how much Twilight blew up.

Portrait Photographers

Annie Leibovitz an American photographer known for her eye catching portr

aits of photographers, this particular photo is John Lennon and Yoko Ono hours after this photo was taken John Lennon was murdered. 1980

Annies first intention was to become a painter but after being introduced to photography she changed to that medium. Her first commercial job was at Rolling Stone. Annie shot the 6 month concert tour of the Rolling Stones and

was also praised for her photographs of Olympians in 1996 at the Summer Games. I think Annies work is very bold and expressive, her portraits are beautiful.

Richard Avedon an American Photographer beginning his career in

1942 as taking identification pictures for the

Merchant Marines. he used his Rolleiflex that was given to him by his father In 1944 he began working as an advertising photographer for a department store but was quickly discovered by Alexey Brodovitch, the art director for the fashion magazine Harpers Bazaar. In 1946 Avedon set up his own studio producing work for Vogue and Life. Avedon used emotion in his photographs unlike the norm of fashion being emotionless and indifferent to the camera he really changes the idea of fashion photograph and fine art.

http://www.ianphillips-mclaren.com/

Originally from Scotland Ian started out young at the age of 18 DJing and studying photography in his scond year of his studies the BBC made a TV program about him called "a Stlye of Ones Own" He then became a resident at the Glasgow school of Art in 1990. After doing an album cover for Wet Wet Wet he did some work for Vidal Sassoon which were published in American Vogue. Ian is known for his natural style and the way he captures the actual person.

















August Sander From Germany started his work in 1910 his aim was to shoot German life and Man in the Twentieth Century. Most of his photographs show the individuals in work clothes and their work environments.

I love the look of old photography thats why August caught my eye I think its purely natural and to have them in a work setting gives you no illusion.

Obama Aides Aim to Simplify and Scale Back Health Bills
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/03/health/policy/03care.html?_r=1&ref=us

Still...... talking about Health Care, which honestly should have been a main priority from square one. Being a person without health insurance this subject is a biggie. Since the election Obama has said to better the Health care system, unfortunately haven't seen anything but hopefully something will get done. This article is basically telling us that Obamas idea didn't work so hes throwing it into someone else's hands? Aren't we trying to better the nation? Dunno but i defiantly do not like paying 3000 dollars for an emergency room visit for almost having a heart attack that was necessary... So lets hope i can give more updates on some things being done not just talked about.

Iphones rule. period.

Maybe in bigger areas where more network is being used this article can be relevant but not in commerce,TX. I use my i phone daily and for everything, my whole life is one the thing. sad that technology has taken over the world but i phone users need to realize we have mini computers not just a phone. we have everything in one little hand held device.
