Yellow eyes in the garden


















The soft breeze blew her whitish gray fur to the side creating an infinite wave. A figure laying motionless under the warmth of the sun, so peaceful yet mischievous. Her purr was as soothing as a children’s lullaby, as if taking her to a more tranquil parallel universe. The clicking noise of the camera interrupted the serenity in the air and simultaneously her yellow amber eyes swung open and that peaceful moment of time turned to fragments of the past as she charged full force curious on what was the source of that sound.
It was from that moment on I decided to capture my Pixie but holly Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious it was hard, so I called out for backup hoping for the kitten to stay still. One by one my six siblings started coming out of the bat cave or so Moi calls it. Curious on why their elder sister called them out? confusion strikes the jolly Brady bunch, and I saw that, but the look on my face said it all. As soon as they noticed, the mini photo-shoot shifted to a family BBQ outing and it got imbedded into each and every one of us as the most awesomest day in history.


Building House



















Many movements shaped the designs in the upcoming years of the 20th century, among those movements was the Bauhaus art.
Walter Gropius followed his utopia and founded the Bauhaus institution of art around 1919. Gropius was not alone in his utopian aspiration there were others who joined in molding a new generation of artists. The basic principle of the Bauhaus was creating art in anyway and with anything, this new art shifted in a completely different direction from traditional artistic methods. Students learned to create art literally nothing much was demonstrated on paper, crafting skills are thought by craftsmen and esthetic inspiration was by artists, new and cheap materials were used, machines assisted designs were crafted, color theory, basic shapes and architecture were also part of the Bauhaus curriculum.
Opposite to art nouveau Bauhaus art never related to nature in any way possible they were more of expressions of the human emotion and how we felt, abstract drawings is a prime example of that.
Later as this movement flourished the designs became attainable to the common majority of people, easy and practical items for everyday use. The workers and students started mass-producing their designs to the public in large numbers with an affordable price. The face of the 20th century was designed molded and displayed at the Bauhaus, a movement that left its print in the world.
