Super Heros

In January one of the youth went to Hawaii and brought back some wonderful photos, check some of them out in the previous post. Last month we had a night about images and how powerful they are and then we had a night about how powerful words are. So what happens when we combine those two? Superpowers! have you ever wondered what a word superhero would do? Look it's Super Word Woman she can spell tall words in a single bound, stop speeding insults with her mouth and is mightier than the word Supercalifragilous Expialidocious! Her sidekick is Projector Boy with his super projector vision he is more powerful than computer processor. Together they are invincible against ads that make you want to buy things you don't need, bullies who want to hurt you with their words, and games where killing is cool. With Generator man not even Blackout Boy can defeat them! Think it will be the next hit for Marvel Comics?

Beauty and surfing.......

What a great combo sand, surf and sunsets! One of our youth had travelled to Hawaii in January and brought back great memories and amazing photos! Here are a couple of the pictures.... these are the ones that make me want to go there! Images are powerful. Just as powerful as these images are in showing beauty and fun images can be used to portray: devastation and violence as cool. They can give a distorted idea of how people should look to be considered beautiful, how people should act to be cool or what people need to buy to be happy. Think about what the images around you are saying....
