I am pulling some of my favorite posts from my other blogs. This year I decided to make this my main blog with my art and interests so I thought I would share a few this week here. Happy weekend everyone.

amazing photos!
I love that Mirwais song, but wow, that first video choked me up. I really admire artists who confront and challenge us, not for shock value, but for a real cause.
Thank you so much for sharing this Leigh!

You know, all my snobby art history class mates would diss on VB. I've always loved her work!
Whoa! the word verification for this comment is "veness" weird!
the images are startling -- some gorgeous, and some horrifying.
RE: E.K.- lol.
I agree, I have always liked her, I love that she is not afraid to be controversial.
wow.. White Madonna with Twins... SUCH a powerful picture..!!
What an amazing photographer. Very interesting. I love when artists make work that makes you take a moment and think.
I think all those images are hauntingly beautiful.
Controversial artist. I love that. =)
Very amazing. So glad she is doing so much to bring attention to such a horrible situation that is overlooked by most of the world. Especially when the news is mostly economics, we need people like her to keep attention on Darfur and the Sudan as a whole.
How fortunate she was nursing when she went as well.
amazing and disturbing.
amazing images!
I'm always amazed when I see these. I kind of love them ...I can't seem to take my eyes away.
wow. stunning and soulful! makes a lot of seasoned photographers look like babies.
I'm definitely a fan of Vanessa Beecroft. Thank for posting this!
...and congrats on getting one of your prints in with Aaron Brothers.
