Have you ever been flipping through channels and wonder what this box of images is good for. I know we love the plots of every show and the weird intentions of sitcom characters, that always seem to turn into funny outcomes with happy endings. Well, I finally found something else that beautiful invention can do, besides make us fatter.

It can be art...

This project is to illustrate the way a common item like a TV can be art. Its not the best collection of artwork, but its mine. I sat on my bed with my camera in hand and shot pictures of random scenes on the TV. Not knowing that I would like what I saw through the camera lens. it seemed that every show had some photographic beauty (even HGTV). I would like to see you try this too. The ingredients are simple: 1. An hour or so 2. A camera 3. The magic vision tube 4. Snap away. Thanks for your time.
