The Detail That Made Our Wedding Reception Extra Special

Arts No Comments »

Out of all of my friends, I was the last to get married. It wasn’t that I did not want to get married, it was that it took me a little longer to meet the right person to marry. We had a simple wedding ceremony, but we spent a lot of money on our wedding reception. One detail that made our wedding reception extra special was a string quartet. My fiancee suggested that we hire one to play at the reception as she had seen them play at several other events. I was unsure, but I trusted her judgement. It was the right choice. The music they played made our event extra special.

Choosing a Photographer in Virginia

It can be a daunting task when trying to find the right photographer for your particular situation.  You need to make sure you are hiring someone you can trust and someone who will make you look as good as possible.  After all, who wants to actually look like themselves, right?  But seriously, if you are looking for a Washignton DC wedding photographer you need to make sure they understand the city and how to navigate it’s streets.  There are a lot of beautiful locations in the city but not every photographer understands how to make the pictures spectacular with these locations.

I have been surfing for a really long time so when it comes to finding constructive things to do online I can find it.  My latest discovery is how to make online photo calendar photos and templates online.  I can upload my photos for the calendar, view, edit, print or email it to myself and family members.  It is the most creative project type I have ever found to do online and now it has become a yearly thing for me to do.  I get to show off my kids and my photography skills at the same time.  My friends think it is cool and it does make a great conversation piece.

Dancer In Emerald by Jack Vettriano

Arts No Comments »

One of the most interesting paintings by the popular artist Jack Vettriano is Dancer In Emerald, on first look it is a quirky image that shows a couple dancing as a third person holds an umbrella over them to keep the rain off.However if you look at the picture for just a little longer you can see that the third person is a butler and by implication the dancing couple his employers.The butler is hunched and he seems uncomfortable in the situation while his employers seem care free and safe in the knowledge that they will remain dry even in the bad weather. Is this a statement on how the workers are exploited for the comfort of the upper classes?

Our First Big Fight

Arts No Comments »

One of the first fights my husband and I had after we were married was over his Marilyn Monroe poster.  A week before our wedding we had moved our furniture into our new apartment.  Little by little that week, things came together in the two bedroom apartment.  There were just a few big boxes to unpack which we decided to do when we got home from our honeymoon.  One of the first boxes we unpacked after we came home was a box of my husband’s things.  When he pulled out the big poster of the blond bombshell, I laughed and said “You won’t be needing that anymore.”  He said “Excuse me?  I’ve had this since I was 14 years old and I”m keeping it!”  After a very heated argument, he ended up hanging it in the spare bedroom which became the “office.”  He still has it after all these years, but it hangs in the garage. 

Not enough free clip art

Arts No Comments »

You would think there would be enough free clip art in the world and that no one would need to create any more. But when you see the type of free images floating around on the Internet; it’s obvious there’s always room for more and better sources. Many of the images available today are amateurish and are only suitable for low resolution use on the web. Because of that they don’t provide much benefit to designers and crafters who require higher quality images so they can produce images for clients or products for sale at craft fairs, church bazaars or online.

Are there different areas that it doesn’t hurt as bad to get a tattoo? My tattoo on my arm definitely hurt. Some say there are certain spots that sting more then others. Some people are starting to get them on the face I can’t even imagine how much thats has to sting. Lil’ Wayne has tattoos on his eye lids, thats pretty ridiculous it seems that tattoos are slowly becoming more and more common. Many of the A-listers are getting more tattoos,in my opinion probably has a lot to do with why more people are getting them. What do you all think? I’m inquiring to see if anybody else is seeing more tattoos too.

Chinese Instruments In Our Music Class

Arts No Comments »

For our music class, we are asked to think of an instrument which we could play in front of our classmates. I am a bit disturbed with the idea because I don’t know if still the skills in playing the violin have. I have a summer class with that and all I have to do is practice some more.This is the day for our musical performance. Joey is the first person to show his talents with playing instruments. Yes, Joey would be playing some of his Chinese instruments in the class. It seems that he was so good at it already that the melody sounds good. The whole class was so overwhelmed with Joey’s performance.

Remains Of Celtic Instruments

Arts No Comments »

Celtic music is sometimes difficult to gauge for authenticity.  It is like the job of determining the particular species of rodents in the wilds.  You have to get closer, or listen closer for that matter, to have a better grasp.  Most of what we know about Celtic music was originally-transmitted through traditional means. Celtic instruments are the living relic of what remains to the once thriving Celtic music.  Various companies and music stores have ventured into the reproduction of these unique instruments.  True musicians of various nationalities can claim influence of large extent from Celtic instruments.
