If you are taking the plunge into digital photography, you are going to need a camera. Speed is the key consideration in choosing a digital camera. Because digital cameras need time to transfer the image to your storage media, it is an important issue. This is referred to as 'shutter lag' by the photography pros.

Many people question the purpose of art. They acknowledge an aesthetic approach but ignore any possible positive benefits of a more practical nature. Contrary to popular belief, art is not purely aesthetic. It is not a product with no possible effects outside of the obvious - an "artistic" product. Art is not of less use than science in preparing individuals for the "real" world. In fact, the contrary is true. Art is very important in helping the brain reach its full potential.

Allison Smith?s Art pace project continues to examine how political meaning can reside within aesthetic forms and to employ history to comment on current events. Featured is Hobby Horse, a performance-based sculpture of the traditional child?s toy, complete with horsehair, glass eyes, and handmade bridle. Standing more than nine feet tall, the oversized object lays bare the militaristic spirit of this old-fashioned plaything and probes equestrian statuary?s commemoration of bloodshed.

Dan McCarthy?s Black Ball is captivating in its quiet simplicity. Removed from all traces of environment McCarthy?s beach girl is isolated on a fresh white background; a visual device that both heighten her allure and allows the paint itself to suggest a scene. Using oil paint with the effect of watercolor, McCarthy renders his figure in pale blue washes, allowing the subtle fluctuations of hue and intensity to replicate light and water, capturing perfectly a moment of poolside leisure.
