Rep Yo Self!
Pointe shoes. A reflection of me. They are used in the most intricate forms of ballet. The kind I am drawn towards. From a distance they make the dancer look fragile and elegant. Covered in silky, smooth satin and built to perfectly shape a pointed foot, but get close enough and you will wonder how dancers make it look so easy. Hard to the touch and with the ability to create calluses, bruises, and blisters, its basically a living hell. But that doesn't last for very long. The more they are stretched, bent, and danced in, the softer they will get. With this form of art if the shoe can't provide support it's almost useless. The same goes for me. My appearance may not tell the entire story. It can be very deceiving, but requires a closer look to get the right point of view. I can only be pushed so far until I reach my breaking point. I need to be handled with care and respect to remain sane. I am a reflection of my pointe shoes

Nat Geo is Coolio

This photo does a good job in showing different perspectives. There is a hectic and busy city as well as calm mountains in nature. I feel the photographer is trying to show that behind all the modern inventions and architecture there is always some form pure nature. I can tell he used a very slow shutter to capture all the rapidly-moving cars. The bright lights create a nice contrast in comparison to the neutral terrain.

I recommend Karen's blog because of the creativity in the forced perspective and scariest photos. I especially enjoy her caption for her "best shot" photo. It has a clever perspective and good focal points. I also love the way she portrays her family in pictures.
