Marie Hsiao: An Interview
Marie “mree” Hsiao is currently dominating YouTube with her talent and charm. You will usually find her singing behind a guitar or piano. Aged at only 16, Marie is a mighty force to be reckoned with. We had the chance to ask her a few questions and pick her brain. The Nonsense Society is glad to welcome her to its ranks before she becomes too famous (which she no doubt will).
Young Photographer Series: Brianna Elton (17)
This 17 year-old photographer from Australia sent me her photography saying, “Right now all I want more than anything in the world is to get out of school and pursue my career as a professional photographer.” To her I say, YES. Do it, and the Nonsense Society will back you every step of the way. Her passion is excruciating, and I can’t wait to see what else she can come up with.
How to Live a Creative Life and Succeed
So you are an artist? Musician? Poet? Mad scientist? Whatever. It doesn’t really matter. You deserve the chance to live a creative life, succeed, and be happy (because that’s important, I promise). Obviously creativity is not about money, fame, or success. However, I would love to see every artist in the Nonsense Society live off their passion. This article will help you get there.

Young Photographer Series: Julia Trotti (18)
“Sitting in the sky, breathing sunspots, I hope my photography takes me to capturing musicians who I’ve been listening to for years, shooting for magazines and creating pieces of art that light up in the bug-eyes of today’s youth and inspires them to create.” - Julia Trotti
Celebrating Love Through Creativity
Love just may be the greatest inspiration for all artists. Here at the Nonsense Society we celebrate creativity everyday, but today we are celebrating love. Happy Valentine’s Day, Nonsense Society.
Young Photographer Series: Tessa Abrahams (19)
“My fascination with photography derives from its unique ability to make any moment last for an eternity; there has yet to me another way to completely stop time from passing us by. Photography has impacted my life because of how much time I spend reflecting on my memories. I live for the days that I want to remember every detail of forever. Photography serves the world’s witness that all things contain beauty even if that means observing from a new perspective. A camera gives its owner the power to turn the ordinary into extraordinary. Photography lets me show reality to the world the way I want it to be seen. To me, there is no higher form of self-expression than an image.” - Tessa Abrahams
Mellanie Carney: Poet/Photographer
I love using words to capture my feelings, and I love using a camera to capture the beauty of life.
Meet Mellanie Carney, a 28 year-old poet/photographer from New Mexico, USA. Mellanie’s submission caught the attention of the Nonsense Society, because it combines two arts in one. We are all about this! Take a look at how words and images inspire Mellanie, and hopefully they will inspire you as well. Welcome, Mellanie.
