Rube's poem
Comment on ruby_kim
Very Heartfelt, I especially like this bit -
"Now we support each other, and stand up tall.
The future seems brighter, we can have it all."
I love how our group is (for the most part) so supportive of each other. Its made being at university a great experience. We are all different in so many ways and yet we all get together for a giggle, some uni orientated advice, or even to have a whinge, so easily. Actually mostly its whinging and eating, I must say we are fantastic at both! Oh and then when we start whinging about the eating we have been doing.. Love to all you people who help make my time in Sydney and at Uni such fun. If Rohin and I are sent to Darwin or Townsville or somewhere equally hot and unswimmable next you must all promise to use some of that teaching money and a week or so out of your 12wks hols to come and visit.
If we're in Darwin we'll take you to see some crocodiles. This is one of those "beautiful" photos where the arrangment of the content is visually pleasing. Just like Dickens's use of language in his discription of Coketown in Hard Times. The language is arranged pleasingly, this is beautiful, but does not make the content beautiful. I think there has been some confusion in our tutes over the use of the word beautiful, Dickens's intention was not for the reader to percieve of Coketown as beautiful, while his intention was probably to make use of the language and arrange it beautifully it is always the reader- or in a visual sense the viewer who makes the recognition and perception of defining something as pleasing. So for those who dislike how artists make horrible things look or sound beautiful perhaps they need to ask themselves why they recognise beauty in horrible things. Presentation is very different to the meaning of the content. Eg: Photographs of the current drought, while we would not wish the drought upon anyone nor deny the heartbreak and destrution it has caused, photos of massive expanses of dry brown ground, reaching out forever into the distance, empty, desolate are, to me very beautiful images.
