Film Advertisements
Movie trailers, posters, and advertisements always catch my eye. The way companies create trailers can make any film seem amazing.

Watch and see if you can guess what he’s painting before he finishes. As a viewer I can’t see what the painter is creating until I see the finished product.

Taking A Closer Look...
This past May I took a trip to Europe where I visited Spain and France. I enjoyed the experience, but I encountered a cultural difference which caused me stress and anxiety each day and night. My hotel rooms did not have clocks. Throughout the cities of Paris and Madrid I rarely saw clocks. Since my cell-phone did not work, I only knew the time by chance of seeing...
