Rescue of Chilean miners – Online media beat printed media

Online Rescue Broadcast

Online media tonight show their real power. Rescue of Chilean miners is online in every corner of the world, doesn’t matter which time zone is. We keep cross fingers for everyone there. Thanks to online broadcast we can see tears, emotions, happiness on people’s faces there.

But, I’m wondering, what headlines will be published in newspapers. Where is here the place of newspapers? How they will cover that story? What are they going to write tomorrow, which numbers they will publish: “Four miners were rescued”, “Six miners were rescued”… Deadline for preparing new printed issues is in last minutes… Hard task for editors who now need to publish stories who won’t be “story from yesterday”.

Dancing sculptures

Movements, passion, sounds, emotions frozen in the time..

Dancing welcome to Herberger Theater Center

Those are first impressions about the sculptures placed in front of the Herberger Theater Center in downtown of Phoenix. Few days ago workers finished reconstruction of Herberger center, they have moved fences and finally sculptures are visible again.

Definitely that is one of places in downtown in Phoenix, which can be marked as “must see” and “must feel”.

Sculptor John Waddel managed to give the sculptures strong still movements and strong silent sounds. He named them “Dance”.

As it is explained on his web site:

Dance, a major work created in the early 1970’s is a representation of John’s unique ability to give bronze motion. He offers us a glimpse into the inner beauty in each of the grouped figures, and brings to life a feeling of gentle grace and energy.  Each dancer has a “portrait- like” quality that is unique to the model while adding to the overall dimension of the piece as a whole.

Dancers and their rare audience

But, unfortunately, even they scream for attention, people still forget to stay there and to give them at least short look. Therefore, it was necessary to call the cartoon characters to join me and to stay in front of my photo lense when no one from reality wants to experience those bronze-frozen emotions.
