Joy In Motion

I haven't decided yet whether this falls into the 'artistic' section, or the 'junk' section.

Personally, though, I like it.

It made me think more about "popular" artists though, and what happens when they show something that really, is not their best work. It could be almost without artistic merit. And because they're "popular", it will still get tons of "Oh its my FAVORITE!" and comments and the like.

I'm never entirely sure if it's purely their popularity (can so many people be such blind followers?), or if culture really is enjoying those things - and if so, why?

In the end, its just another thing to lie awake thinking about, but I do find it to be a fascinating phenominon.

I'd put it in the artistic class. It's a powerful image.

The reason it's not junk is that it conveys just what your title says (doesn't need the title). So what if you "found" it, didn't plan it, or you'd planned it differently. I liked it as soon as I saw it. But, then, I don't got much culture.

It's a nice artistic shot. I like it.

Nice feeling of motion to the shot. . . .

Don't know if it's popular or not but I kind of like this one too Kasi.
