Persona - Amelie

 Persona - ‘Sabrina’


Personality - Sabrina is a very monotone figure, doesn’t show extreme emotions. Think Mirage from the Incredibles. Will do a soft smile, but that’s basically their full belly laugh. They are like a Secretary, always listening to what is being said and will give advice where needed, but are otherwise a chill figure in the corner of the room. 


Backstory - Not much is known about Sabrina, but Sabrina knows everything about you. 


Appearance - Well put together, clean appearance. Has a few tattoos tucked out of view, but isn’t afraid to show them. American Traditional style tattoos.


Creative Practice - When work is done or they are waiting for someone, they doodle mandalas. They do their best to replicate the style in their tattoos, and occasionally brainstorm new ideas to take to their artist. 



Amelie Henry - Document a Walk

Video 

19-22 steps

Feels like a rotisserie, back and forth

Angela the neighbor said hi

Said someone was burning something near my tires

I can see a silver trail

Took a break halfway through, got bored

Going to start back up again

Birds sound nice, can hear Nans wind chimes

Can hear the wind in the trees

Flapping flag

Maybe earlier in the day would’ve been better

Lady was on a jog with her kid in a stroller listening to general conference

Grandpa came back from his walk, said uphill was good for walking

Lots of cars drove through

Janet’s still alive

Paige Ison - Document a Walk

 


    This is a pathway that has been formed in my backyard over the last 5 or so years. This path leads from my back door to my dog's pen where we let her out everyday. I walked on this path for around 35 minutes. In this time I noticed how many things have grown around or pushed into this path.

1 Photo, 1 Minute: By Joshua Fielding

 In this photograph lies a picture of the Sistine Chapel. A beautiful and exquisite example of Renaissance artistry and a significant staple of that period’s history and prominence. Its history is one of just as much significance and drama as it is beautiful. Its creator Michelangelo was an artist in every extravagant sense of the word. A man so dedicated to his craft, he considered eating that of a reluctant necessity as well as wearing his work clothes and boots to sleep so he could waste no time getting ready. Among his various mannerisms, which coincidentally is also the name of an artistic movement he inspired (Mannerism), was his unwavering pursuit of perfection in his works which often contributed to many social interactions going sour. Michelangelo was a short-tempered, irritable perfectionist that resented any external control over his works. When he was commissioned for the ceiling, he argued until he was allowed, in his own words, “to do as I liked”.

Songs that played for me while walking

Sarah, July 17th, 2018, photo by Korilane Henry


It is a tradition, of sorts, to cut one’s own hair in my family. From an early age, if you can hold a pair of scissors you follow the instinct to cut your hair. You grab what you can see and reach, cutting it. Some cuts are close to the scalp, and others feather out around the ears. Eventually, all that is left is an incredible mullet of hair. My mom would mourn the loss of hair, as she liked to put it in braids and pigtails, and she would take us to the hairdresser to salvage what was left. However in this case, my elder sibling opted to ‘even it out,’ buzzing what was left of the hair off. My poor mom bought many bows and headbands to put on the buzzed head, it was the only line of defense against people assuming Sarah was a boy.

Title: The Roaring Lion (1941)

Photographer: Yousuf Karsh

This is a portrait of Winston Churchill by Yousuf Karsh and one of the most well known portraits in photography. After Churchill had just given a speech, Karsh was given only two minutes to take a portrait. Churchill whipped out his infamous cigar and started chomping down on it. Karsh gave him an ashtray to set the cigar aside but Churchill ignored. So, Karsh waited for a while then made sure all of his equipment was set up properly then went up to Churchill and snatched the cigar away from him without permission. By the time the photographer got back to his camera, Churchill had a stern and annoyed look on his face and that’s when Karsh decided to take the photo.

Jake in his display at Marshes free museum in long beach Washington photo taken April 2009


Jake the alligator man is one of my favorite cryptids/museum things. He was found in Florida and then taken by a group in Long Beach Washington and put in museum. His backstory is that he loved to party. When he was found he gained a cult following and they even threw a party for him. I remember when I was little visiting the museum and walking up to the glass cage and thinking that must be what mermaids really look like. On his birthday the owners dress him up and give him alcoholic drinks.

This is a photograph of  Neil Sedaka. Neil was born in Brooklyn, New York on March 13,1939.He attended Abraham Lincoln High School ( where the photo was taken) and graduated at the age of 17 in 1956. He soon found his passion for music and later became a well-known famous songwriter/ singer from 1957-  To Today. 


His first big hit began in 1959 when he wrote the song “Oh Carol” ; it became such a big hit that Neil later wrote “Calendar Girl” in 1960 and “Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen” in 1961. He later sold millions of records, wrote 500 songs and collaborated with his good friend from high school “Howard Greenfield” and “Phil Cody”.


Neil and Howard became one of the original creators for the “Brill Building” sound that was built in 1931. They were also the first to sign with Don Kirshner and Al Nevins at Aldon Music. Aldon Music soon had Neil Diamond, Carole king and Paul Simon among many others signing with them. They soon became the center of the “pop world”! 


Though Neil Sedaka is very famous it wouldn’t have been possible without the help and support of his loving wife “Leba Strassberg” . They got married in 1962 and had two beautiful children, their daughter “Dara” and their son “Marc”.
