"Stunning! A poem, a concept, and a fleeting moment of stillness, as the poem, takes shape in the form of a woman, who dances without movement; yet knows, and understands movement unlike the average person. Such an intangible.

Women feel like, or they can become such an element: a link in a design. They are in the expression of undeniable torrential storms of emotions embedded in the creative process that developed this element into physical form..." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1/14/19

GOSSIP!

Mediamass

The name “Mediamass”

The project's name is an ironic reversal of portmanteau “mass-media” (media for the masses) in “media-mass” which here means “media en masse” as mass production and therefore mass consumption are the object of our criticism.

The website “mediamass.net”

The website mediamass.net is the medium of our satire to expose with humour, exaggeration and ridicule the contemporary mass production and mass consumption that we observe

Also it will not only mock the producers (mainstream media, journalists) as it is common when questioning and criticizing mass media, but also the consumers as one cannot exist without the other. Sensationalism, lack of verification of information, ethics and standards issues are only symptoms of the actual social and economic order. This is particularly obvious when observing the role of social networking sites in spreading rumours… 

Gina Bellman Nude Photos Leaked Online

Gina Bellman, the actress best known for her roles in Leverage or Coupling, has reportedly become the latest celebrity to fall victim to apparent leaked nude photos scandal. Highly personal and private photographs from her mobile phone were posted on several celebrity gossip websites yesterday. 

Celebrities and nude photo scandals seem to go hand-in-hand. The 52-year-old actress’s nude photos were leaked online through hacked phone on Sunday (November 18, 2018) and spread across the internet like wildfire. “The FBI is aware of the alleged hacking incident and is looking into it,” an FBI official told the press.

Nude Picture Controversy in British Magazine

The editor of a British celebrity gossip magazine defended its use of the photos, citing there was “a clear public interest in publishing the Gina Bellman pictures, in order for the debate around them to be fully informed.” That's also why we, at Mediamass, decided to publish all the nude photos. In public interest and just for the sake of information.

. . .

Besides being a talented actress, Gina Bellman seems to also nurture a secret passion for fine art and nude photography.

The FBI is investigating the celebrity phone and email hacking case. Meanwhile the actress leaked nude photos are making a sensation on the internet.

This is the article. The pictures? Here's the kicker. The photos are statues from one of Europe's periods of high art! It is not the shocker of her naked in public somewhere, or in her home sanctuary. This is mean in a league of its own. ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [November 19, 2018] 


This article closes out with this disclaimer of a sorts: 

"The nude figures photos were probably taken by the actress with her phone, during a visit at the Louvre Museum in Paris earlier this month. Some of you may recognize the nude “Grand Odalisque” by French painter Ingres, the nude “Sainte Marie-Madeleine” by German artist Gregor Erhart, a Roman marble of a nude wounded Gaul, an Egyptian nude porcelain doll, and probably a picture of convalescing Spinee playing with a tennis ball (while the latter is unlikely to be linked to the nude photo scandal).

Besides being a talented actress, Gina Bellman seems to also nurture a secret passion for fine art and nude photography.

HIS Magical EYE.

What do you consider your greatest strength in photography?

My ability to capture a character in an image. I spent as least as much time studying people and methods of bringing them out through photos as I did learning my camera and software.

Eva Strangelove by Chris Clark. [CAC Photography. 2016.]

Why that? and not babies or pets or landscapes?

Every girl I date asks me that question.

The short answer is, women inspire me. Not just the female form, which I obviously admire, but I also draw much inspiration from the female perspective, mentality and personality tropes. Yes, much of my photography comes with risqué themes, but I strive to always show the women in a light that makes them feel empowered.

---

What do you think sets your work apart from others in your genre?

From a technical perspective, I definitely have a look that comes through in any style I am shooting. However, my distinguishing factor for better or worse is in the images I chose from my sets during post. My tastes in framing and composition and poses is unconventional.

Art - The Republican Club by Andy Thomas

That Painting of Trump Having a Diet Coke With Abraham Lincoln Is Now Hanging in the White House

President Donald Trump liked a painting of him having drinks with Abraham Lincoln, Richard Nixon and Teddy Roosevelt so much that he called the artist on the phone and then put a print of it in the White House.

Called “The Republican Club,” the print of 10 Republican presidents sitting around a table could be seen briefly in the background of Trump’s interview with “60 Minutes” Sunday, and an image of that moment went viral on social media.

As all this was playing out, Andy Thomas was at his home in Carthage, Mo., watching the Kansas City Chiefs play the New England Patriots on TV while working on a painting of a train robbery in the Old West. (It’s a favorite subject of his: “Lots of horses, lots of action.”)

Thomas’ phone began to ring, as friends reached out to tell him, but he assumed they were just pollsters asking about the Missouri Senate race. Finally, his wife came down to show him on the computer.

“I was ecstatic,” he told TIME afterward. “A lot of times gifts aren’t really hung up, they’re just pushed in a closet somewhere. To find out it’s actually hanging is really a treat.”

It’s unclear how the print made its way into the White House, but Thomas said Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California had told him recently that he’d be showing it to Trump.

Thomas is not a very political person, but he’d done a portrait of Issa a few years ago and the two have kept in touch. But he was surprised two weeks ago when he came in from mowing the lawn and his wife and business partner, Dina, told him that Trump would be calling shortly.

“He basically said, ‘most portraits of me I really don’t like,'” Thomas said. “And he’s right. He’s hard to paint. There’s some bad ones out there.”

As he often does, Trump then asked Thomas how he was doing as president and what his friends and neighbors think about him, as well as how he thinks the heated Senate race between Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill and pro-Trump Republican Josh Hawley will end.

Thomas said he was a bit surprised at that turn in the conversation.

“I’m thinking, ‘I’m a damn artist, what is he asking me about this for?'” he recalled.

As a cowboy painter who dabbles in presidential portraits, Thomas said it was nice to hear back from one of his subjects directly. He’d once met a cousin of Bill Clinton’s who told him, secondhand, that he liked the portrait, and Richard Nixon’s niece once praised his painting.

But Thomas was proud that Trump had recognized the work he put into one of the toughest parts of the painting: the president’s smile.

He said he’s found that some presidents have a natural smile: Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Barack Obama. But others, like Trump, have more of a forced campaign smile that doesn’t look right in a painting. He found it particularly hard to get Nixon right the first time he painted him.

To get Trump’s smile, Thomas said he looked at thousands of photos.

“Trump has that one thing where he sticks his chin up and smiles really big, and it’s great for a caricature but not necessarily flattering to him,” he said. “I had to find a photo where it looked like he’s actually heard something funny, so it looks like a genuine smile.”

Beautiful women, who command are more easily misunderstood as being powerful because drawing attention to themselves by the force of their essence can be disguised as vanity, or self-absorption by any number of men, unable to see beyond need, or lust. It is distracting the illusion of Beauty, but enforced as a presence in the Medicine teachings; it becomes a tool, a shield, and a weapon!...

There is more, but this medium typically is over-populated by undeveloped people foreign to the esoteric or the way of the Warrioress distinct from the Warrior's Way. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5/9/18

City Takes the Soul, Keeps the Beauty.

Rachel Gunn by Wade Edwards.

I love the big city feel of separate from Nature, and the vitality of what is rich in daily living the photographer captured here... It is very American. It is center-piece in the economic turmoil we are experiencing in the rhetoric of our current president. It is fascinating on one level, predictable on another, and chilling overall... It is astounding what one image can do, and undo. Hats off to the creative ideas of the photographer, and you the model, who is conveying much more! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/01/18
