The idea of scamming the scammer has inspired many. In one of my favorite movies, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Michael Caine and Steve Martin are con artists who are conned by an even better one played by Glenne Headly.<br /><br />I imagined your would be pick pocketer stopping around the corner, rifling through your empty wallet, staring at the smiley face sticker you placed there, and becoming obsessed with revenge. He saved his money for years and flew to America intent on repossessing the Statue of Liberty from those smart alec Americans. Renting a U-Haul, he drove to New York, saw the statue, realized it was much bigger than he thought, and lay his head on the steering wheel and wept.<br /><br />I think we are all artists and find ways to express ourselves. This idea isn't original to me. Just this morning I was looking over a special issue of an online magazine and came across this:<br /><br />"What do Edgar Allen Poe, Theodor Adorno, György Lukács, and John Dos Passos have in common? All four writers understand the prevailing logic of art to be one of formal subordination. That is, they all believe that the work of art produces “a resolution that will make what we already know worth knowing.”<br /><br />Art is one way we make sense of life, both by experiencing it and creating it. You often use words, or the medium of photography. Monet used light and paint. You taught your students how to see and put to their own purposes the light of reason. We all have our ways. <br /><br />They can be further developed after we discover them. Many people think schools should focus on things like this instead of constant testing. They do that in Cuba. Every Cuban is an artist. It has deepened the Cuban Revolution. Many people think that with its recent entreaty to Cuba -- which if you noticed wasn't much criticized by the political establishment -- our government think it will undermine Cuban Socialism with McDonald's and Wal Marts, but I think they are in for a surprise. Thanks again, TB.<br /><br /><br />The source of the quote: http://www.mediationsjournal.org/<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-39449350823148989882016-04-02T06:01:34.162-06:002016-04-02T06:01:34.162-06:00As well as traditional art, the best photography i...As well as traditional art, the best photography is about the light<br />Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-85310697638766918652016-04-01T16:23:14.910-06:002016-04-01T16:23:14.910-06:00Light is one of my fascinations, too.

The new downsized home we are having built is filled with light. There's is very little wall space but lots of windows. Your "sketchy" knowledge and self-proclaimed lack of artistic savvy apparently don't at all hamper your recognition and appreciation of beauty manmade or, judging from earlier posts, God made.LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369350929348290480noreply@blogger.com
