TheirCircularLife.it is a website with a collection of photographs that show urban life. Each image has a timeline, where an image is taken in the same spot every hour. By doing that, we can see how people live in real time. They also record sound form teh same time.
It’s really cool because then you see what people do in every single hour of the day. And you also see how one place varies from the other. Some places are quiet for a certain number of hours while another is busy during the same time. It’s really awesome
I love the sound, it just adds to the realness of it.

nbsp;MatthewMahon.com is a personal profile of the photographer Matthew Mahon. He uses Flash and experiments with zooming in and out. Each photo identifies somebody in his life or an event that happened to himself. It’s basically his life.
I like the Flash. But if I didn’t do outside research, I wouldn’t understand what it was. I wish he had a seperate “About” page or something else like other artist have. But I do like the unique-ness of his webpage. I also love the shape the photos make when you zoom out far enough. The images are super clean which I know is hard to do in Flash. Overall I like the page.

nbsp;theOnesWeLove.org is a website that collects photos of people that are most important to the photographer. Each photographer is allowed up to 6 images and it must be in an outdoor setting. The website wishes to portray the people they loved, cherished, and inspirational to the artist. You can also see the differences and similiarities between all the photos.
Most of the artist take pictures of ONE person that they love and while I understand that but can’t you have multiple people that you most care about? I haven’t run into one but if it’s there I’m sorry. But I’d like to see an artist take images where there person is different in each image. Other than that, the site is extremely heartwarming. A few artist portrayed their loved one’s in the nude which i found interesting. I bet the loved ones really cherished these photos.

nbsp;Foundmagazine.com is a website where people can submit things that they have found. Be it a love note, homework, or anything that shows somethign about another’s life. So it can be someting entirely personal or something mediocre. They started the website upon recieving a strange personal letter on a car. And found it awesome and full of emotions so they decided to find more things and post them online. Now anybody can do it.
I love the site but at the same time i feel like i’m violating someone’s personal life. To read a love note, it mite be entertaining but it’s personal. Although if they lost it then it’s up for grabs for anybody else. So never mind then. I jsut find this site entertaining. Nothing more.

nbsp;Learningtoloveyoumore.com is a website that’s run by Miranda July and Harreil Fletcher. I think I can relate their website as a reciepe book. It gives you instructions how to make things and you have the freedom to kinda spice up to create your own version.
I like it when they show the collection. You can read the instruction and assignment and then view how each person interpreted those instructions and create their own. Its almost like taking an online art course. Which seems kinda awesome. I can learn things that my school can’t (sorry). It’s a cute site but I don’t have much to say.

nbsp;PostSecret.com is a website where people can send in their secrets anonymously to the website and create art with those secrets.
The artwork reminds me of a combination of Lolcats and Demotivational Posters. The text is written on the postcards and says something related to it. Some of the messages don’t match the images but some go with it very well. Some don’t even have an image with it but are instead anonymous e-mail messages. Some seem like extreme secrets, one you never tell anybody, while others seem just silly secrets that nobody wants to openly admit. It’s an adorable site yet some of the secrets are a bit too personal.
