Mandala Francisco: Artist, Musician, Filmmaker, and Poet
Meet Mandala. She’s the kind of person we like to find here at the Nonsense Society. She told me that she can never be limited to one art form. I feel the same way! Art, music, film, and word are all connected. I wanted to recognize Mandala for her creativity that seems to have no bounds. Thanks Mandala!

In Between Closed and Open
Branches blowing in the wind.
Shadows in my bedroom corner.
The door left slightly open,
undecided,
in between closed and open.
Temporary.
I never close it all the way,
it is always left ajar,
open for suggestion,
for change.
Just because it’s a door,
does that mean it needs to be one or the other?
Should I just close it?
Now I feel alone.
It’s too quiet.
It’s just these four walls and me-
Lying here in the silence.
The only sound of my sighs,
and racing thoughts.
But can one really be alone?
Is that an illusion?
A fear, a word, a feeling.
I begin to sing,
my voice vibrates inside my chest,
flies past my lips,
and whooshes around the room.
It rings,
and echo back to me,
as if to prove,
I am not really alone.
Young Photographer Series: Bethany Grace (17)
“Everyone has created or is creating beauty, in whatever way they please, and I can’t get enough of it!” – Bethany Grace
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.

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: Tania Carvalho (22)
“Photography never started as a hobby. I always loved to take pictures, it’s how I see people and the details. As someone once said, pictures are forever. Those we can keep, those are the memories we will never forget. Photography is my way of showing this world people, the way I see them, the way I see the world and how beautiful anyone, and anything can be. It really means, everything. It’s my passion, my best friend, my guide, my lover.” – Tania Carvalho Continue Reading
Young Photographer Week: Andy McMaster
“Photography means that I can be myself! It means that I can not only make sense of all those ideas in my head but also be involved with fashion. I can create those images I see when I close my eyes! I can be different. I suppose I was never your normal child… always reading the fashion magazines over other childhood books, never playing in the park, and rather playing with my camera. I was hooked from a very young age! Then about 18 months ago my father paid a model to model for me. That’s when everything felt right! My love of fashion and photography became one! It was then and there that I knew what I wanted to do! Hopefully, one day it will mean that I can shoot for our major fashion icons!”
- Andy McMaster
Young Photographer Week: Lyka Orhel
“Photography for me is a work of art. It is when you freeze a moment and try to capture it with just one click. You are freezing a moment in time while time itself moves on and the moment disappears.” -Lyka Orhel
Young Photographer Week: Larissa Felsen
“For some time, I thought I’d settle for being a hobbyist. But then, everytime I thought about it, a dull ache would take over me. For me, photography means the cure for this pain of not settling for an ordinary life, it also means the outlet for images and scenes burning in my mind, asking to be released, expressed in some way. Some people write, others paint. I shoot.” - Larissa Felsen
An Interview With David Firth
I recently emailed David Firth, creator of the popular Salad Fingers cartoon and Fat-Pie.com, with some questions. Here is the result.

His apathy is excruciating. Continue Reading
Two Teenage Girls Leaving Their Mark On Photography
I recently received submissions from Sarah Rose Smiley and Megan Breukelman. They are both 15-years-old and their work just blew me away! It just goes to show you that talent knows no age. I can only imagine where these two will be in ten years after they have more education and experience. Below you will find a short interview and showcase of each of their works. I was most impressed by Megan and Sarah’s confidence from our conversations. They know who they are, what they are capable of, and what they want. That’s why they succeed! We can all learn something from these girls. If you know of any other young artists feel free to share in the comments.
The Line Between Art and Pornography
A lot of people are scared to enjoy art that incorporates nudity. When is it pornography and when is it art? The truth is, the human body is a wonderful and beautiful thing. When captured in the right light it is most definitely art! If the artist or photographer is focusing on the beauty of the body, intimacy, or making a statement it is art. It is easy to determine if the purpose of the composition is just SEX. Art can be sexy and that doesn’t necessarily make it pornography. Need clarification? The following are gorgeous examples of nudity as art, not pornography.
Portrait Photography: Where Black And White Is Right
I have always been a fan of black and white photography, but there are instances where it makes or breaks a picture. The following collection of photos contains some amazing examples of black and white portrait photography. By taking out the color of a picture, it allows the viewer to concentrate on other aspects of the composition. Sometimes color can get in the way. These pictures would no doubt be less inspiring and beautiful if they had color. Enjoy this gorgeous showcase.
Instances of Breathtaking Creativity 2
Out there in the world are artists who see things. I mean, really see things. These people can transform everyday life into breathtaking art. In order to do this you must ignore boundaries in your mind so that you may see how one part of something can blend into something else. Once you see the vision you must then make the smooth transition between ideas. That’s the trick, isn’t it? Other instances of breathtaking creativity involve conveying a vivid feeling, idea, or statement through an image. These artists have done just that, making a stunning composition. I challenge you to feel nothing while looking at these works. Good luck. This is the second in a series of two compilations. Be sure to check out the first installment of Instances of Breathtaking Creativity as well.
