An artist statement placed next to an entry at ArtPrize can be both important and helpful when you're trying to see hundreds of pieces of art in one day. Some artist statements are great, some are pretentious and some are completely honest.
On Monday, October 24, Judge Janet T. Neff of the United States District for the Western District of Michigan ruled that state law must not prohibit Michigan voters from taking "ballot selfies".
Camera use is prohibited in voting booths and polling places in Michigan, but a new lawsuit is challenging the ban on "ballot selfies" in the name of free speech.
It's time to throw away your silly selfie-stick. No, really, I'm not just saying that to be mean to people with selfie-sticks. I have one, but I've yet to use it for a selfie. It helps get the phone higher up for above photos, which I haven't done much of, but still. Now, there's a new toy for all the selfie-people, it's the Hover Flying Camera from Chinese company Zero Zero Robotics.
Okay, so the lil guy didn't technically steal the GoPro, but he did run off with it when he got his hands on it. He then started licking the lens and pointing the camera at himself for some great close ups selfie video.
For most people, the moments following a bad car crash wouldn't exactly be the idea time to whip out the phone to take a selfie.
But this guy isn't most people, apparently.
It seems that every few months a proposal video goes viral. It also seems that a short time after one goes viral, we discover it is fake.
This could very well be one of those times.
Ah, technology. With the advances over the years, it's pretty hard to stay anonymous.
Take, for instance, this pair of apparent iPad thieves in suburban Houston.
The creator of this video juxtaposed a candid video of a bikini-clad girl trying to take the perfect selfie with the audio of a documentary on chimpanzees.
The result is just too perfect.
