The Hangout- The first photo was taken in my "old" neighborhood, where I use to live until recently. Basically, my entire childhood revolved in the suburban block. I loved walking around the block at night, I loved hanging out with my friends, and I loved the atmosphere overall. This neighborhood represents happiness, family, friendship, and tranquility. In the photo, the viewer can see me hanging out with my close friends during the night, my favorite timing.

Since we're on the topic of dance, here are two great videos that you will enjoy and relate to. There are many types of dances, and as the paper that we have read about Mark Morris, choreography to a music piece can be interpreted in many ways.

     During Fall for Dance, the last performance was my favorite, which was choreographed by Mark Morris. Firstly, I liked the gloomy and dark tone of the music in the beginning and secondly, I liked the way they moved with the music, such as when a dancer laid on the floor and dropped the left hand then the right hand then the left foot and so on accordingly to the beat of the music. Then when the music transformed from the gloomy tone to a more upbeat tone, the dance became more active itself.

     While traveling through the beautiful areas of Manhattan to the common event, "Meet the Artist," at Macaulay Honors College, I didn't think the art would be about a tragedy that had happened in New Orleans. It shocked me in the beginning because I couldn't think of any art in such a tragic place. However, the photographer/artist, Thomas Neff, proved me wrong. He enjoyed speaking with the people in New Orleans, while helping them out of the their overflowed homes. He took pictures of reality that had happened there.
