Wallpaper - ‘Digital Pictures’ Summit‘

Wallpaper - ‘Digital Pictures’ Summit‘

Wallpaper - literally refers to the pictures of as much size as filling up the computer screen(wall) space. Generally, they most often use the wallpaper copies of as about 80%(800x600), as 100%(1024x768) and as 120%(1280x1024) as a computer screen, according to size.

Early days’wallpaper used to be thought much of only the size, but nowadays composition technique of digital pictures is required together with high clearness. In the world of wallpaper, they might not recognize you merely by the pictures taken though persons or things in simple backgrounds.

Internet world requires as visual sense as to occupy 80-90% of visual fields.
Once you are concerned about Internet and information worlds at all, I suggest you study in the visual field. Wallpaper is a new spot lighted area, on the internet that is visual and requires sense.

Photographer and Model - Art Nude

2005-10-28T23:15:00.000-07:00

Photographer and Model - Art Nude (Woman)

The relationship between photographer and model is perhaps already like “thread and needle”

According to photographer’s rendering, a photographer can create a model into the one who has ‘a thousand of faces.’
The pictures in this space are what I chose and came up with, whose woman models were ‘rendered into ever beautiful and fantastic ones.’

On the back, I have mounted the 1910-1950s pictures of the fashion magazine ‘Vogue.’
If it is the 1910-1950s in Korea, how can the time gap be...?!
This part is what “youths”in the 10s and 20s have to do.

Woman Stars Semi Nude - ' the dream of their public'

Woman Stars Semi Nude - ' the dream of their public'

Many people have some fantasy toward ‘public stars’ such as models, actors, players. Especially toward woman stars, they tend to have much more of such fantasy.
The pictures on this space is the ones I have chosen to inform you of their jobs, or what the persons called stars are doing.

"man and woman stars with their bodies naked - to meet the dream of their public"

On here, I have mostly only semi-nudes of woman models.
But in Western mass culture, it might well be viewed that the nude-shooting of man and woman stars with their bodies naked - to meet the dream of their public - is basic as professionals, not more than or not less than their job.

If there is any adolescent who dreams of this circles of career, he or she must first figure out the professional spirit of the stars who has the view, ‘nudes are basic to meet the dream of the public.’
Anyway, keep in mind that there is such preposterousness coiled in the circles of stars that adolescents dream of.

Current Address of Fashion - “Clothes will Tell”

2005-08-24T19:05:00.000-07:00

Current Address of Fashion - “Clothes will Tell”-

Every trend is born anew through repulsion rebellion and challenge against the existent frame, curiosity and experimental spirit.
All the trends until now would establish a new trend only through creative activities putting out new pieces of work countlessly without ceasing.

Though trend usually means as lightly as fashion or change of hair style, one should remember for sure that every human achievement has been possible because there were these repulsion and rebellion, curiosity, and experimental spirit.

Most of the clothes here are ‘clothes as works,’costumes that cannot be worn in everyday life. My intention why to have mounted these fashion pictures is, in order to let you know how much experimentalness and creativeness the works in the world fashion market require.

Wishing they be watched with attention by the people who are concerned with fashion-related profession, or who are currently engaged in such...

** In the saying, raise your child as ‘a child who can think,’ ‘a child who are creative,’ at educational issue nowadays, one needs to know there are ‘a child who is wandering,’ ‘a child who is rebellious,’ ‘a child who is inquisitive,’ implied in such saying.

However, even though parents in our country like such words as a child who can think or a child who are creative, they disregard such as rebellion, wandering, repulsion, curiosity, challenge hidden behind such words. Instead, they strongly tend to stick only to reasoning and logic, which are put up superficially.
Prior to reasoning, logic and understanding, the child must first have repulsion and rebellion against the existing ones, wandering, curiosity about new things and spirit of challenge to have reasoning, logic and understanding.

But in the name of bringing up their children as somebody creative and somebody imaginative, the parents in our societyattempt to apply curiosity, reasoning and logic in forceful manner, only after they must attach to their children such words as a child who is kind-hearted, a child who is studious, a child who is healthy, a child who is obedient, a child who is honest, or whatever sweet words to their ears.

Still less, they try to evade any thinking that their children might be suited by such as rebellion, repulsion, single-track mind.., and yet this thinking is ludicrous even to the point of ignorance.

From the children who say only ‘yes’ to the existent things without any otherwise, how can they expect their children to challenge something new?

Rather, it will be helpful to your children’s education, if you remember everything in human history conducive to civilization has been developed by the elite dreamers who were rebellious, presumptuous, hopeless, preposterous and single-track-minded, in other easier words, by ‘outsiders’ in our society.**

Model Agency Model of the ‘Ford’in Europe - Harmony between Classic and Progressive

2005-07-21T00:23:00.000-07:00

Model Agency Model of the ‘Ford’in Europe - Harmony between Classic and Progressive

The biggest trait of European mass culture is that it holds together both counter notions, “classic / aristocratic” versus “experimental / progressive”
Through fashion models on here, I hope you to peep into the mass culture in Europe such as fashions, magazines, pictures, etc.

Until now, American mass culture has been the mainstream in importing mass culture to Korea. Last century, American culture was the main current not only in mass culture but also in administration system, education system and even Christian theology in Korea.

Meanwhile, in addition to American one, you should acknowledge the fact that Korea has accepted European cultures or other ones bit by bit, because European cultures are more characteristic of “classic/aristocratic” versus “experimental/progressive” than any other cultural areas.

If there is any youth who means to plunge into the world market in order to import the “unique culture to Korean Peninsula” in the world culture market by en grafting our own culture within Asian culture onto Western culture (most of the current cultures in the world are the derivative cultures which are derived anew by assimilating Western culture to their own cultures), you may as well aim at the European market of culture, prior to plunge into the American market.

Entertainers, 'Parade of Stars' and vicarious satisfaction

2005-07-20T22:42:00.000-07:00

Entertainers - 'Parade of Stars'

This is a gallery of star pictures to be gotten easily, among people who are thought to be public stars of my own choosing.

More than once, they are originators who catered to the public the space of ‘vicarious satisfaction’ between reality and super reality, and their catering is still going on regardless of their will. As long as there remains nature of ‘vicarious satisfaction’ in the mind of the public, there will come continual new stars regardless of time passing.

If it were, parade of stars(?) will go on.

War - What is Justice! What is Power! What is Peace! What is Order!

2005-07-20T22:27:00.000-07:00

War - What is Justice! What is Power! What is Peace! What is Order!

Even in the 21st century where the feminist movement is so active, most of the global areas have been governed by masculine government theories such as violence, result, command and thought.

Even after 2000, war victimizes not only politicians-or-army-manipulating figures of the Taliban regime and Saddam Hussein regime in such wars as between America and Pakistan and between American and Iraq. While all the world went in an uproar, madness, morning and retaliation in front of the terror America encountered September 11th 2001, who will take the sympathizing role for those helpless women and children casualties among civilians in Afghanistan or Iraq!

For war victim civilians, who and how will compensate for them?

At this current point when the 21st century is called ‘global’ age, people should think pan-nationally
what is justice!
what is power!
what is order!
We should differentiate between religious spirit and religious bodies.

** 1) ‘We are the world’which American entertainers made in the 1980s, within this song how far is the borderline of the word, ‘us.’
2) ‘Do They Know Christmas?’is that British entertainers made for the children who were dying of war and drought in Ethiopia and other Africa, for whom is the song composed?
3) Between a loaf of bread to the full and a loaf of bread to the hungry, there is far difference in worth and meaning.
4) The worst victims in the war are women and children.

Having sat silently when children and women were starving, injured and died on the battles of war in the other areas,
Why!
Do those politicians, broadcasters and religious leaders go in a fuss at the present only.

I repeat.
There is not a single country that has no connection with the influence of America upon each country economically or politically.
Even though Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, and civil wars caused other countries so much into chaos that they changed into doomed lands, still there were no other countries that would be damaged accordingly.

However, in front of the terror suffered by America, the world economy was swayed all over.

The ‘Peace by power’ and the ‘only-the-stronger-survivable society’ maintained until now was the ‘justice and peace’ accomplished on this earth.

There are so many that cannot be answered in man’s life.

Especially matters of national intricate politics, or a step further, matters of economy and foreign affairs in the international society are so complex and inscrutable that one cannot judge only through theory and result. There are also so many cases when one or two persons’ opinions are hard to be the key answer.

As in Isaiah 40:6-8 in the Bible, there have always been ups and downs in the cultures that mankind has built up.

It is human history that has the end.

Today’s sermon passage is Matt. 5:9 ‘Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.’Even if this massage as well is the Sermon on the Mount that neither has been achieved by man nor will be, it is only when I make the worldly principle of this spirit that I can inherit the way, the truth and the life to the descendants.
Christians, Muslims, the advanced, the underdeveloped, the haves, the have-nots, the normal, the hadicaped,..they gather together into a single world. Peace is something that is made through unity of us, not separate you and me.

Now then, Let us all remember that peacemakers (sons of God) transfer history and transmit life from man to man.

"We are the world"
and
“Do they know Christmas" **

The history of the human being the war was started together.

2005-07-20T21:56:00.000-07:00

The history of the human being the war was started together.

Together with man’s history, there came and remained violence, murder and war.
From another point of view, one can tell that man’s history is no other than a war history.

Since long long time ago, a clan or a clan association needed their territory as a necessity in order to lead their own living. For their existence, there was no tribe in the world that yielded for nothing their territory that was their necessity.

Just as no one gets a fruit into his mouth just by lying with mouth open under the tree, in the same way they had to take away or keep it for the sake of their vital pieces of land.
For existence, one’s occupation turns into the other’s deprivation, one’s victory turns into the other’s defeat,..this kind of jungle’s law history is man’s history.

Getting away from far old into history of civilization, battles of war have continued with much severer persistence.

The common points of the war lied in invaders’ justification of war that they committed. Apart from the battles big or small, there have always been the losing sides of war. Even a cease-fire remains after both being tied, there always follows material, physical, mental damage caused by war.

War was ceaseless, despite such immense damage. War leaders engrafted ‘God’s command’ bestowed upon them in order to justify the war to their people.

The ‘rise of imperialism’ by the West since 15C to 19C left Africa, South East Asia, the Middle East and South and North America into falling under colonial systems. In these times as well, the invading nations leaders tried to rationalize their invasion as if it’s war for God.
In such manner, the religion siding with their own nationalisms didn’t happen only past centuries, but has also proceeded through the 1st and the 2nd Word War seven up to present year 2005.

By putting up its own nation’s interest under the tradition of the Roman maxim, ‘If you want peace, prepare for war,’ each nation acknowledged and has put into practice and are still carrying out the ‘principle of power’ that the stronger can prevail as their ‘principle in the international society.’

International society is ‘society of power.’ This is a reality.

The sure point here to be pointed out is, there are much contradiction hidden inside in the international order that depends on ‘peace by power’ or ‘justice by power.’

In the words, ‘peace by power,’ ‘justice by power,’ ‘order by big powers,’ we should remember there are a great number of ill feelings harbored, in the situation where lesser powers or weak minorities haven’t vented their bitter grudges.

Sport picture- Dynamics, Eagerness, Vehemence, Fun...

Sports - “Dynamics, Eagerness, Vehemence, Fun...”

There are times when devoted players to a game would do unexpected somethings during their plays.

These breathtaking(?) looks would sometimes be contained in the pictures of stalkers.

One might see the pictures here as crude and shoddy ones, but the performers’ expressions in the pictures are only too earnest. Even the scenes bringing pleasure to stalkers or netizens are only the ones that happen because they are too devoted to their own plays.

Even the scenes of technical foul and fierceness we failed to identify at the extremely short moments...

Nude of Olympic Athletes - Continuity of Culture 1.

2005-07-11T19:08:00.000-07:00

Nudes of Olympic Athletes - Continuity of Culture 1.

When they give praises to men and women’s looks who are good-looking, people tend to sing rhetorical words like, “she or she is like a statue.”

Sure enough, the athletes’ bodies who have been built through steady exercise for 10 or 20 years--now in their 10s and 20s--are already “a perfect statue as his or her body in itself,” rather than “he or she are like a statue”

Such statue-like bodies of Olympic participants cannot but become good subjects for photographers. For the very simple reason that the famous athletes got ‘undressed,’ all mass media tend to make a big news item out of it in itself.

But, what is more important thing is, through these athletes ‘having got undressed’ or others ‘obliging the athletes to undress,’ that there are some other chances waiting for them.

Even if they are well-built with muscles, the athletes with uniquely-built muscles are suitable for the models highlighting their muscles the athletes with good back looks are suitable for photo models or underwear CF models showing back looks in the nude the athletes with solid belly are suitable for CF models highlighting their abdominal muscles the athletes with as far as good penis sizes are suitable for underwear models or X-rated photo models or even actors and the athletes with good countenances or good dressing styles are suitable for general CF or fashion models or film actors. Into these ways above, statue-like bodies of Olympic participants are sub-divided, so that they are made to be transformed into some other public stars.

Keep an eye on which part of the athletes’ bodies each photographer is focusing camera angles at. For, part of these athletes are likely to be recruited, just as photographers’ eyes find them some day.

Calendar Models of Male and Famale - You can't Strip Anybody

2005-07-11T18:54:00.000-07:00

Calendar Models of Men and Women - “You can't Strip Anybody”

Male and female ones here are mostly the pictures who once used to be in the calendars.

Most of the models designated as calendar models are public stars who enjoy the highest name value in the year. By virtue of this, their body value(guaranty) as well is not insignificant at all.

Since the companies to have appointed them as models paid no insignificant guaranty to them, they will try every effort to make10 or 100 times as profits as the guaranty they originally paid to the models. In so doing, the companies will naturally claim the models’ merchantability to the utmost - the most masculine sexiness from males and the most feminine sexiness from females - that the both genders might have inside.

The reason why our country’s folks mistake foreign mass cultures or half-sit confused in such misunderstanding is, because they mistakenly understand a stream of Western mass culture, or ‘Western merchants’ means of commercialism’, or because they lag far behind the ‘Western merchants’ means of commercialism.’

Korean people must recognize it doesn‘t apply only to the cheap mass culture of ‘stripping’ and ‘undressing’that our country misidentifies or lags behind the “Western merchants’ means of commercialism.”

But the fact also naturally applies to such as politicians, religionists, as well as the persons who think themselves very intellectual or decent. Rather, according as they are in higher status than others, it is still the more necessary to know the fact.

The reason why stock market or money market in the South East Asia as well as in Korea had each of their economy swayed from the very understructure through erosion by Western capital is, because it occurred also as a result of what the Eastern lagged behind the “Western merchants’ means of commercialism” calculated to the extreme, which fact we must remember.

Nature is living - Lose Nature, Lose the Globe

2005-07-11T18:38:00.000-07:00

Nature is living-Lose Nature, Lose the Globe

These in front of you are the pictures that I brought at my option from various authors’ homepages under the theme, “Lose Nature, Lose the Globe.”

Some many of them are from photographer ‘Don Baccus’ homepage without permission. Even though I brought theirs up arbitrarily without prior procedure from photographers’ homepages, I should like to deliver this message, “Thank you!”to dear ‘Don Baccus’ and to ‘all the dear photographers even whose names I don’t know’

Even the words like, ‘Hope’ or ‘salvation’ which most of religions speak of, mean nothing without the words like, descendants, future, tomorrow...

Yet at the present reality of 2005, it is the words like, ‘nature’ or ‘resources,’ ‘pollution’ or‘destruction,’ and ‘perished’ or ‘drained’ or ‘exterminated’ that we have to relate together with the words, descendants, future, tomorrow.

In order to transfer the future to our dearest descendants, we may as well know we need more emphatically interpret the messages like ‘we are the world’ and ‘global village.’

** Man’s life doesn’t mean only today.
I cannot speak of human history until I recognize there is yesterday, there is today, and there is tomorrow.

Our everyday breathing and jostling lives must be healthy to lead a healthy life of faith.
To Christians who are on the road of today - rather than only us enjoying benefits from nature - there is an obligatory project before them, in which even the descendants may enjoy the benefits from Mother Nature.

Today’s passage tries to remind us that when humans acknowledge the order of nature, it is the very humans who are blessed with the nature.

Please cherish the meaning of the following theme, “Lose Nature, Lose the Globe,” and remember that only our “imparting the environment of living nature to our dear descendants” is the ‘best gift’ we can present to our descendants! **

The Erotic Globe -Origin of Religious Phenomena

2005-07-11T17:32:00.000-07:00

The Erotic Globe -“Origin of Religious Phenomena or “Foundation of Religious Generation”

Religion and art are the best heritage that Homo Sapience transmitted to her offspring.

What became the origin of religion to Homo Sapience in unknown old times was the ‘feeling of awe’ received through nature, as in birth and death of humans beings and benefits and disasters of the nature surrounding human beings, namely.

One needs to know that Natural figures--such as huge rocks, valleys and trees resembling male and female genitals far too relevant to the absolute fact called “human birth and death”--were taking their own positions not as part of nature, but rather ‘objects of awe,’namely religion.

As back as in my childhood, I was often able to see village people have put a good size of stone at the bottom of limbs’ splitting when jujube trees were grown up.
The meaning of this symbolic action on the jujube tree is that the jujube tree was woman’s body; the limbs were woman’s legs and the stone represented man’s penis.

But why would have been the jujube tree, of all things in the world?
Though a late bloomer of all fruit trees, a jujube is the earliest fruit bearer and the number of fruits is too many to count. (There is a chestnut tree as a similar one.)

This finding is closely relevant to ‘prolific culture,’ the core of farming culture. The color of the fruit is red that is believed as much as to drive out ill fortune in shamanism.

As late as now in Korea, regardless of whichever form of wedding ceremony, folks go through a bride’s deep-bowing and gift-offering time to bridegroom’s parents as the last formality of wedding ceremony. At this point, the bride’s parents-in-law pray the best wishes, “Only produce sons and daughters,” by throwing ‘chestnuts and jujubes’ over to the apron of the daughter-in-law.

One needs to know that these ceremonies and actions are far from all religious organizations, religious persons and religious spirit, but that they are religious customs unique to the Korean nation rooted in the Korean Peninsula, bearing “a symbolic meaning of connecting generations of descendants in a clan.”

Now, they are just recognized lightly as ‘national sentiment’ or ‘conventional practices,’ instead of ‘religious customs’
