1) incognito: with one's identity concealed
night of the 17th december


The picture I used consists of a silly glasses used sometimes as a joke but, with the intent on disguising one's identity therefore going incognito. Hence I found it very fitting to use as an exampe of incognito.

(another's production) without crediting the source

I chose this picture of a very old book with faded print, because I wanted to demonstrate that it could be anything but, you can always "cheat" and "copy" someones work producing at is your own.

I used this picture to illustrate the right to be yourself and the right to have a weird style without somoone elses personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations judging your style.

MG*CH*ILY

"Con te partirò.
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te,
adesso si li vivrò,
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono più,
con te io li vivrò.

Quando sei lontana
sogno all’orizzonte
e mancan le parole,
e io sì lo so
che sei con me,
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me,
mio sole tu sei qui con me,
con me, con me, con me."


An inspiration, I keep close to my heart if you will.

Writing In Reverse

Have you ever seen someone in the street and wondered about the people and what must go on in their lives? Well, I have, and I do in my daily travels. I imagine what goes on in their lives, and how that affects their day.
Elika my junior year Humanities teacher assigned us a writing project based upon pictures of people caught at turn styles in New York. We are supposed to write a narrative of how we picture their lives, or make up a story based upon their appearance.

There were many characters, but, I chose this lowly man in blue denim. He appears to be a man on a mission, a loner, an independent man. All this, I base on his appearance. So, I shall I call him Mr. Denim. Like James Dean, he definitely has a tough exterior, just like his beliefs.
