The older I get, the more I am interested in art as well as science. Perhaps that is a function of being forced to choose between art classes and music in the public high schools of Alabama. Since I played drums in the high school band, I was not allowed to take art classes.

After seeing the ad for the Nova show on Einstein's Big Idea, I am strongly considering taking an art history class and using my photography on the Web as a seperate thing from journalism.

I'm watching an interesting show about art on public television right now. Check it out when you get a chance. I'm sure they will rerun it.

Episode 303: Structures

Each one-hour program is loosely organized around a broad category or them - Power, Memory, Structures, and Play - that can help audiences analyze, compare, contrast, and juxtapose the artists profiled. The themes are intended to inspire interpretive possibilities and are introduced by the celebrity hosts David Alan Grier, Grant Hill, Isabella Rosellini, and Sam Waterston, who are well known in their respective fields as well as passionate and knowledgeable about contemporary art.

If it was up to the Republican Party, there would be no public radio or television. Everything would be capitalized and privatized. Maybe there would be no art - just religion. That's only one of the reasons why here at The Locust Fork, even though we are not strictly liberals but liberaltarians, we tend to vote for Democrats.

For more samples of my work, hit the Feature Photos links down the left. Perhaps I should consider a different title not so driven by my own journalism background, but for now, the most recent photos are archived under Feature Photos 2.

We would certainly welcome your thoughts on this issue.
