This Is Iraq, Award-Winning Short Film by Chris Collins
“Chris Collins’ film, This Is Iraq, is a haunting and challenging look at one person’s experience in Iraq. This Is Iraq chronicles the war in Iraq just as A Red Badge of Courage chronicled a soldier’s experience in the Civil War. It’s direct, hard-hitting, and real.”

Young Artist Showcase: Lucia Moretti (23, Switzerland)
Meet Lucia Moretti, a 23 year-old aspiring photographer from Switzerland. I’d like to welcome her to Nonsense Society. She has a very natural quality to her photography that really grabs me and drags me in. I’m especially impressed because she does a lot of fashion photography, which usually seems forced, thick, and commercial to me. Lucia’s photos are different, however. I dare you to disagree.

We Love Your Creativity #7 – Backs
I am an artistic explorer. A curator of creativity. There is so much talent and vision in this world that goes unnoticed. I am constantly searching the internet for inspiration that knocks the air out of me! Today’s theme: the human back (photography). I was recently amazed at how many photographers find expression in photos of the back. I suppose I can’t blame them. These pictures move me.

Catya Maré: New Age Songwriter, Violinist, and Producer
Catya’s story of how she came to fame is a good one. She found herself tired of the classical music world, got sick with the flu, and randomly decided to write her own music. It turns out that all the people who said, “You can’t make a living playing your own music,” were wrong. Since then, Catya Maré has won the Hollywood Music in Media Award, Billboard World Song Contest, been appointed voting member for the 2011 Grammys, and been featured in multiple movies and TV shows. Nonsense Society welcomes Catya Maré into it’s legions of creatives who stand out where others usually blend in.
