I really liked the Caravaggio "music video"! hahah.
Hey thanks for sending that link. It is now a member of the elite group known as my favorites. Also, I was wondering when our exams will come back to us. No rush, I know it won't be easy. So many essays, so little time.
Your exams will be done for class Thursday!
I finally finished all of the videos to the Caravaggio documentary. It's definitely worth a watch; very interesting.
Look at what pops up under the google search for "The Judgement of Paris" !

Thanks for the links. I really like how Caravaggio always emphasize on the expression of the subjects. Neutral background is a really great choice for a dramatic light and dark lighting.
For Simon Schama, he is really an interesting guy. I like how he narrates, he really know how to entertain our thought!

Love the link Lucie! Barbie is so perfect for the piece :)
I just realized that my style of photography have been influenced by Carravagio's style (contrast dark and light). Interesting...
