Skirt Length Photograph

Skirt length

I saw this article on the Huffington Post.  Very interesting how a science class spawned a viral photograph by Rosea Lake.  (she is selling prints of the above picture, after she fixes the word prudish).

Here is a quick quote from the Huffington Post web site.  I hope they don’t mind.

“Lake, who studies graphic design and illustration at Capilano University in Vancouver, never thought she’d become an Internet sensation when she posted her “Judgments” photo project to her Tumblr on January 5th. But something about the picture struck a chord with those who saw it, and within 24 hours the image had been re-blogged 100,000 times.

The photo, which the student took as part of an AP high school art class last year, depicts the back of her friend Ali MacKenzie’s legs, Lake told The Huffington Post. Horizontal lines are drawn up her leg, reflecting various skirt lengths, and next to each line is a description. Lake labelled the longest skirt length “matronly” and the shortest “whore.”

Lake got the idea for the photo from looking at graduated cylinders in her science class, she told The Huffington Post. “[I wanted to] take the idea of impersonal, supposedly objective, measurement of things and put it on something that we do measure, but we don’t talk about,” she said. “We measure women the same way we measure water in cylinders, but no one says it because it’s mean…..for more please go here.  ”"

Carmel By The Sea, Carmel, CA

This past weekend we took a day trip to Carmel, CA.  One of our favorite places on earth, we decided to go with our 12 year old Lab, Sunny, hoping he would enjoy the day before getting too old!

We think he enjoyed it!  There were hundreds of dogs in Carmel that day, most of them poodles there for the annual “Poodle Day” festivities.

If you have never been to Carmel….add it to your bucket list.  It is wonderful.

Here are some pictures:

And finally…on the way home….full moon over Hollister, CA
