Thanks to Carrie for the submission.

ART IS...

This is from Kevin Kelly's blog Technium:

Art Is What You Get Away With

"Art is never finished, only abandoned."

"Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better."

"Art is a revolt against fate."

"Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed."

"Art is a game."

"Art is either plagiarism or revolution."

"Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth."

"Art is the only way to run away without leaving home."

"Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail."

"Art is not a thing; it is a way."

So say some famous artists. I'd like to add a few:

Art is the improbable becoming inevitable.

Art is anything useless.

Art is what remains when reality is removed.

Art is an illusion that requires at least two minds to exist.

But my favorite definition of art comes from Andy Warhol:

"Art is whatever you can get away with."

Art show submission

Adrianna ©2011 CWC   Nikon D80/50mm f1.8 set to f/4, 1/60 ISO 200. Bounce flash under fluorescent light.

Adrianna had decided to shave her head and had a friend paint the design. I was shooting photos of a youth group mural project (the background grey board) when she walked in.  This was a spontaneous moment with just the right amount of natural light on her face, fluorescents overhead, and a bit of bounce flash. I'm surprised the colors came out as vivid as they did. UPDATE: This photo was accepted into the Student Art Show at Mendocino College.
