Alien Letter
Dear E.T
How's it going? you home yet, well I just wanted to tell you about the great world of dreams and sleeping.
Sleeping is a way the human rest itself, like how everything that runs on energy needs to rest for it to regain its energy back or else it will die from exhaustion. Sleep is one of the most important things and best things in the life of us humans, to sleep is to dream and to dream is where some things are found out, Creativity, Love, Power, weakness, Comedy.
It is said that you can die faster from sleep deprivation than food deprivation. The average person will spend 25 years of their life asleep.In the brain, the Hypothalamus it thinks sleep is very important therefore we need sleep even if we don't want to sleep, our brains is like a timer, it will release sleep hormones like Melatonin and when we wake up it releases awake hormones like cortisol. All mammals and birds sleep, Reptiles, insects, & fish exhibit sleep-like behaviour. Sleep could be a way to keep you still so you attract less attention if you are in any danger because our brains need as much sleep as our bodies do. Sleep allows the brain to rejuvenate and maybe more importantly, Sleep is when our brains reply & store the events of the day. Dreams
In ancient societies, dreams guided political, social and everyday decisions. Early books, Including the Bible, are filled with references to divine visions during sleep. On the other hand, Greek philosophers attributed dream content to natural sources, which were precursors of modern theories of dream formation and significance. In the 19th century, Sigmund Freud promoted one popular theory that dreams gave us access to our unconscious repressed conflicts. He called them "the royal road to a knowledge on the part of the unconscious plays in mental life." However, another early psychoanalyst, Alfred Adler, believed that dreams reflect current lifestyle and offer solutions to contemporary problems.

So yea that's all the information I could gather, thanks E.T and later lol

Dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not definitively understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation, as well as a subject of philosophical and religious interest, throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology. Dreams mainly occur in the rapid-eye movement (REM) stage of sleep—when brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake. REM sleep is revealed by continuous movements of the eyes during sleep. At times dreams sleep. At times dreams may occur during other stages of sleep. However, these dreams tend to be much less vivid or memorable.

3 Artist research
Laurence Geoffrey Aberhart is a New Zealand photographer. That I chose to do research on because I like his work. It shows so many Landscapes and Views of great places that some would not think it is very beautiful but i find it very meaningful, it has a lot of meaning even though it is just a photograph of landscapes, it can describe a lot if you choose to actually look over his work. Which is why i find his work very interesting.
Sam Taylor Wood
Samantha "Sam" Taylor-Johnson, born 4 March 1967, Known professionally as Sam Taylor-Wood, is an English filmmaker, photographer and visual artist. She is one of a group of artists known as the Young British Artist. I find some of Sams work unique because of its floating woman, where most of them would be floating. I do not know if it has meaning or not, I know it has a feeling to only do with girls that maybe why, they are only females floating. A meaning of someone to save them or for them not to hit the ground until someone saves them?, this is what I thought it meant but I know it means something else entirely.
DUANE MICHALS
Duane Michals is an American photographer. Michals's work makes innovative use of photo-sequences, often incorporating text to examine emotion and philosophy.Duane Michals (b. 1932, McKeesport, PA) is one of the great photographic innovators of the last century, widely known for his work with series, multiple exposures, and text. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_Michals)
Her work is kind of different than the others I have researched. Her work is more supernatural looking than other photographer's or artist, giving it more attention and how to me it looks like, she has taken photographs of what the human mind is like when it hits rock bottom or a new way of thinking and seeing . The pictures can be described as human emotions losing control, Spiritual happenings to people or just bad photos taken, either way the photos are amazing and with the timing it was taken at. It kind of shows an idea of when we sleep our spirit comes out during our time of rest. There are some that are unusual but has more meaning then most photographs I have seen, spiritually and art wise. The blurry movements giving it more definition, some showing frame shots of people either taking of their clothes, building something or just moving around trying to create a sort of blurry movement.

Blog 4 Machines
A video showed the creation moving like a real life dancer to the amazement of people at the exhibit.
The robot, which was dressed in a racy outfit, also used facial recognition technology to follow people around.It begins with the robot just standing in the center of a mirror moving its arms and fingers, then the music starts, the robot starts to move its mechanical arms and legs to the beat of the music (Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines ft. T.I., Pharrell) but a more slower version. As for the head, it is made to watch people as it dances by using facial recognition, making it more creepier or life like. The camera seems to be a kind of F.P.V. (First Person View) or the point of view of one of the audience in the crowd of people watching. The robot starts moving more enthusiastically to the song as it goes a bit faster, the robot starts moving its hips and head then the music stops and the robot stops as well. The crowd goes silent and the music starts again but a different song plays, the robot starts talking or just lip syncing what the recording of the boy is saying.
The clip is 2:12 minutes long.

Blog 3 Journey
Jeb Corliss " Grinding The Crack"
This is my screenshot that relates to the theme journey, because it shows a person gliding through the sky, soaring over trees and bushes. Multiple camera angle flying with the person showing us the audience his point of view and some cameras on the ground recording the person flying. There seems to be two cameras on him one placed on his stomach and another on his head/helmet.Here is a view of the person gliding.
He first starts of on a high mountain for proper space to jump off and a clear view of where he wants to go and this is what I think relates to journey. The way Jeb prepared himself, researching the weather of the area he was planning to jump from, the route he was gonna take and where the cameras should be, Showing the man on the ground recording, at the same time dodging the man flying through. The music giving the clip more excitement making people feel like they are soaring through the sky and having fun.
Jeb Corliss - The name of the jumper/flyer.

Blog Artist Photography
Laurence Aberhart artwork has a certain look that makes me think about reality, and the world that has beautiful scenery but with a lot of meaning.Aberhart is best known for his photography of buildings from around the world. His subject matter includes Masonic lodges, war memorials, houses and the occasional landscape. However, when he was typecast as a building photographer, Aberhart took a series of human portraits to debunk the stereotype.

Later i caught a bird flying in the air that i thought was amazing so i decided to take a shot of it in the air,
