do you consider only visual art [photography, sketches, paintings, etc] art? or do you think art encompasses music and literature and film also? when you think of art, what do you think of, and what types of art do you enjoy most?...

art

hello_cancer i agree completely. thats the reason i posted this, because art is virtually undefinable, which is pretty cool if you ask me.

hello_cancer absolutely right. i'm not here to persuade anyone, and i really do like it when people disagree with me or challenge what i'm saying, almost more than when they agree with me. when people don't feel exactly the same way, it forces me to keep my facts straight,...

hello_cancer i completely understand where you're coming from. my core beliefs and values are the same as many christians, hindus, muslims etc, i believe that all main religions are basically trying to get the same idea across, be a good person, don't harm others, be kind...

what was your favorite place you have ever traveled to, and why? for me it was new york city, or north carolina. i love everything about new york, the pace, the diversity, the melding of cultures into something completely unique,...

hello_cancer i agree completely. a lot of the time when you visit a place there are so many random circumstances that make it such a special visit, and i definitely always wonder if it would be as good the second time around.

hello_cancer i totally see what your saying about taking photos of rare people. i love taking photos of homeless people, traveling kids, elderly people. their faces tell so many stories, i love when you can capture that in a photograph.

hello_cancer kids can be fantastic to photograph. i love trying to capture emotion on camera, which is why i primarily like taking spontaneous portraits of people. children are so unreserved in their emotions that it can make for some really wonderful photos. thanks for...

hello_cancer it gets made with lead paint because american corporations are cheapskates, which is the reason our labor is being shipped overseas in the first place. a lot of the tainted product that comes out of china is from factories for american corporations. the...

hello_cancer i know about Tiananmen Square, and i know that calling it an accident is not particularly the right words. tibetans may have more rights, but tibet was at one point its own nation, and it deserves to be once again. i understand that the situation in china as a...

How long did it last? It occurs to me that I can't even remember the most recent time I've experienced true silence. I live in the city where there is always traffic noise at some level, day and night. And I'm seldom alone...

hello_cancer i used to love it. when i was little i lived out in the county, and i loved it. i still do, but at the same time i think i thrive more on the life force of a city than that of the country. its really personal preference, and i have my days where its completely...

hello_cancer the only question out of all of those i can answer is why he had to go back to the dursleys. as long as he still called that home, the charm of protection his mother cast would hold out, as far as i understand. all the other questions are really good, ones i...

hello_cancer yeah, the lupin and tonks situation could have been dealt with better. i want to believe that lupin and tonks couldn't have been taken out by ordinary death eaters, but i suppose now we'll never know. it was really sad, just after their baby was born that they...
