Found | A Little Commonplace Book
https://bmoore5.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/found
A Little Commonplace Book. April 23, 2009 in Uncategorized. Out of the recesses of my father’s closet came my most prized ‘found’ object. He’s an executive for a well-known computer company, and I had to admit great surprise at finding such an artistic device as a camera within a closet scattered with old computer parts and ugly ties. And as to finding one, well, it is a great and rare gift. Comments feed for this article. June 13, 2009 at 10:40 PM. Nice camera. I have also enherited a Zenit ET from ...

I set out to create my own manifesto of what kind of art I am for, or, as I put it, what kind of art I will stand for. 8221;, have become visual wonders, and have greatly changed what my art manifesto previously would have said.

A Little Commonplace Book. Day Is Done – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. May 8, 2009 in Uncategorized. One stanza of this poem, in bold text below, has been one of my favorite poetic stanzas of all time. Today, I finally found the entire poem, and it is just as wonderful. No, this does not pertain to art history (the lab for this week is a separate post), but I’ve begun to enjoy putting bits of my favorite parts of the world in here. Is done, and the darkness.

About | A Little Commonplace Book
https://bmoore5.wordpress.com/about
A Little Commonplace Book. The title is exactly what this blog is, a little commonplace book. Although the project was created for my art history class last year, I love the idea and have returned to continue it past the academic setting. It is somewhat under construction, as I suspect it always will be. That’s okay. I can’t promise this will be insightful, clever, or any kind of brilliant. It probably won’t. And that’s okay, too, but you’ve had a fair warning. Comments feed for this article.

Letter to a Puddle-Jumper | A Little Commonplace Book
https://bmoore5.wordpress.com/2009/04/09/letter-to-a-puddle-jumper
A Little Commonplace Book. Letter to a Puddle-Jumper. April 9, 2009 in Uncategorized. Behind the Gate St. Lazare, Paris, France, 1932. Why such a hurry? I can see the the rain has muddied things up quite a bit in Paris, but surely that’s not cause enough for you to go flying across the street. Has your wife taken ill? I could go on for so much longer, but the pointlessness of the exercise begins to draw at me. Except, of course, as the puddle-jumper. Comments feed for this article. Enter your comment here.

Jagged Pink Sapphires | A Little Commonplace Book

A Little Commonplace Book. April 30, 2009 in Uncategorized. These people so scared of silence. these are my neighbors. these sound-oholics. these quiet-ophobics. This is the arms race of sound. There are worse things you can do to the people you love than kill them. the regular way is just to watch the world do it. Just read the newspaper. Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you. Imagine a plague you catch through your ears. The deaf shall inherit the earth. Sticks and stone...
