Class today... (Aug. 29th)

In class yesterday, I found it interesting besides the fact I was pretty tired for some reason. I like that fact that we were introduced to opera. I really don't like opera, but the way Professor Steinhardt lectured about it was interesting. I like the fact that professor told us to, "suspend our beliefs" into opera and think deep about it. Now I'm actually interested in learning about opera.
In the last part of class, I loved looking at Jonty Hurwitz's art work, I found it mind blowing that our perception can change the way things look. I'm curious to see more of his work.

Fireworks in Dubai

First a estimated $20 million? Really?
     The fireworks were really a site to see, I wonder how it was to experience it in person. There were a lot of fireworks that were nonstop, but I think some of them weren't even necessary. To me the ones on the left were just there for light. The camera was just focusing on the ones on the right, I don't think this was worth $20 million, but it was probably a different experience in person to see it with your own eye. What made it interesting to me is that it was completely pitch black in Dubai, the fireworks lite up everything; I didn't expect for it to be completely dark. If this video wasn't a assignment I don't think I would have sat here and watched the whole thing. Now if I was in Dubai watching them I think it would have been a different story. I can say they seemed to have many different fireworks that I have not seen before.
