Pere Lachalse Cemetery Paris










I've got too much time on my hands. I've been messing around in Photoshop again. Here are a bunch of images I took at Pere Lachalse Cemetery in Paris this summer.

Pioneer Village






Since I'm broke and bored to tears I grabbed my camera and jumped in the car and soon found myself at Pioneer Village in downtown Provo. I've never been and had always been curious about checking it out. I walked around and took pictures and thanked Heavenly Father for his wise decision to have me born in the days of electricity and indoor plumbing. My tiny little bedroom is bigger than some of those cabins, where mother's and father's raised 12 and 14 children! Oh how times have changed.

Here's some of the pictures I took. Went a little crazy in photoshop...gotta learn all I can you know.

JR. Street Artist and Activist






JR and his team use paper and paste to try to leave a message. In Africa they covered roofs with vinyl images, that kept the rain out of the shanties beneath them. In South America he showed the faces of the family members of victims of a terrible crime. In Israel he pasted up pictures of Jews and Muslims side by side and asked people if they could tell which person was a Jew and which was a Muslim. They couldn't. Art has power, and if JR had it his way art would turn the world inside out.

Here's his amazing talk at TED: http://www.ted.com/talks/jr_s_ted_prize_wish_use_art_to_turn_the_world_inside_out.html.
