November 14, 2012- Triangle Triangle

Title: Mikael Kennedy

     What interested me in this photograph more than the rest was the dog. It looks like he's waiting for something, maybe his owner to return. It has an eerie feel to it with the fog and emptiness of the sky.
     This photo is very interesting to me, it makes me want to know what the dog is looking at or looking for. It makes me want to keep going and walk farther than I can see so I can discover what is beyond the trees and what the fog is hiding.
     I'd like to learn more about this photographer, his photo makes me think more than other photos normally do. I'm really interested in discovering more about him.

Title: The Undead Tree of Charles Ray

    What drew me into this this article was that I couldn't really tell if the tree was real or plastic. It looked very interesting, and I wanted to be able to find out what it was.
     This article discusses a recreation of the Redwood tree Hinoki. It is about 38 ft long and weighs almost 2,100 pounds! It is so big, that they actually had to build the room around the work.
      I am really interested in learning more about this particular piece because my Aunt and Grandmother just returned from a trip to California where they went and toured the Redwood Forests. They said it was one of the coolest things they had ever seen and that the trees were absolutely huge.
