Bath Time

I'm more of a shower type of person, but I love this bath tub. I would totally put it in my bathroom, but it would definately be a sculpture piece. Designed by William Holland, this copper and brass tub brings bath time to a whole new level!

Bruno Mars - Grenade

For some reaoson this song has been in my head for the past couple of days. If you really listen to the lyrics, they're kind of funny!

Artist Spotlight: Steve McCurry

Children - Steve McCurry

Ok, so I love this photographer. His name is Steve McCurry and he is a National Geographic photographer. I first became aware of him after having to choose a photographer for a Studio 4 project and I fell in love with one particular series. This particular series is titled Children and it shows children in every country imaginable. But what intrigued me the most is the beauty of the innocence of the children, but also the horrific circumstances of some of the children, like the pics of children soldiers holding guns. To me, it speaks for the little kids who can't speak for themselves because it's the evidence to what many of us don't ever want to believe is true.

For some reason I cant find a way to go through the actual gallery on his website, so here is a link to a blog that shows a lot, although not all, of the pics from the Children series. Please check out this series, you won't be disappointed:

Artist Spotlight: Marco Vernaschi





Marco Vernaschi is a photojournalist who was born in Italy in 1973 and currently lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina. There has been quite a bit of controversy surrounding many of his photographs, including those involving teen prostitution and the exhumation of a child's dead body that dealt with human sacrifice. I personally am in both shock and awe of his work. To me, his photographs capture the true reality and horror of events that most of us can not even fathom. For lack of better words: HIS PHOTOS ARE REAL.

I challenge you to check out his series of work.
WARNING: Many images are graphic and disturbing.
