Young Photographer Week: Julia Wang
“Photography for me is a way of stopping time and immortalizing everything I see around me, with a simple click of a shutter. I also see it as a way of preserving life, history, and culture. Born and raised in an “ideal” American suburb, I’ve never had much taste of the world around me. There are more than 6 billion people in this world, and I want to know how their lives are like. With photography, you can capture the beauty of life and keep it forever. There is only so much you can do with writing, the rest you have to see with your eyes.”

Texas Hold’em by Cara Persico
The porch door jolts me from my movie, my breath catching in my chest. Dad’s just come home again. It’s 5:30 A.M., another sleepless night. I’ve tried everything: Benadryl, chamomile, weed. I for sure thought the weed would work. Maybe I need to try all three together. Dad is in the kitchen. The clank of ice followed by the slosh of liquid, his daily brandy cocktail is soothing his conscience. Roxy yelps a few times in her annoying, small dog voice, but he hushes her and feeds her snacks from the jar. Continue Reading
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.

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.

The Drugstore Cowboy by Patrick Nietupski
Everett lay with his eyes open, staring at the ceiling. Stephanie lay asleep, wrapped in his arm. Everett couldn’t explain why he had confided in Stephanie, he simply did. Maybe it was that she had such a pretty smile to go with her long, dark hair. Her eyes were so inviting. Everett had told himself a thousand times that he didn’t love her, but for some reason he always came back.
