pictures paint words, or something.

Not many people know of my love for art. I used to love to draw; the pencil being my favorite medium. Yeah, yeah, everyone doodles, you say. But I drew, I promise. I used to pick a wall in my house and draw it and everything on it from one end to another. Still life, they call it. I would take commonplace objects and arrange them accordingly. Later, in high school, I discovered photography and began appreciating everyday shadows and use of light and dark in photos.

Now that I have left you thinking, do I know the person writing this blog? I share with you this collage...

No, I did not take all of these pictures. I grabbed most of them from Flickr, which I have found several noteable photos. I absolutely love the one of the beanie baby-like toy on the railroad track and the Nike Shox, though I may just be partial to the brand.

If I was more html-savvy I would try to integrate this collage into my layout, but as I mentioned in my previous post, I am not. It will just have to stand alone in this post as it reflects some of my -aholics. Okay, maybe the pictures have no meaning what so ever, and I am just trying to justify my nerdy appreciation for art.
