Posted by saviour2012 on 02.27.2014, 11:11 PM: tremendous amount of money time and energy wasted for something soo temporary
|
Posted by arren18 on 02.28.2014, 03:11 AM: Time and energy certainly, but I don't know how costly it is to produce the sculptures. They make them from snow that already exists, and work in teams to erect them. I saw one as it was being made, and it seemed the snow had been formed into big bricks elsewhere, then brought to the site to be sculpted.

Posted by husky51 on 02.28.2014, 05:10 AM: Why not accept something as being merely beautiful, savior, just for the pleasure it brings to the eye? Everything does not have to be broken down in detail in an attempt to denigrate it. These sculptures are works of art, albeit temporary, and if they are not to your liking, oh well. |
Posted by arren18 on 02.28.2014, 06:42 AM: Out of the photographs I showed, the first one is made from ice and all the rest from snow. There were only a small number of ice sculptures there. And I can confirm that it was very cold in Sapporo.

Posted by arren18 on 03.21.2014, 12:13 PM: Sorry I haven't posted much for a while! I've been very busy in the last couple of weeks, but I've taken lots of pictures, so once I'm more active I'll start posting them again.

These "works of art" vanish within minutes and only the artist and the person who drinks the coffee can appreciate them, unless photographs are taken, but even so this is a legitimate use of time, skill and energy because it brings people PLEASURE.

Posted by arren18 on 03.23.2014, 08:01 PM: Never mind. That conversation happened about a month ago. Based on having really been there, I was very impressed by the sculptures and don't think it's a waste.

Posted by arren18 on 06.03.2014, 09:55 AM: I've taken a while sorting through all my photos from March (there's still plenty in between too...) but I was doing some today which included the Ghibli Museum! I figured that would be of particular interest here. Note that they're all from outside, because photography isn't allowed in the museum itself.

Posted by arren18 on 06.03.2014, 12:13 PM: It also has a design on the back! I'll put up a picture of that some time tomorrow so you can see.

Posted by Roarkiller on 06.05.2014, 04:15 AM: That post card is really cute How does that viewer work?
|
Posted by arren18 on 06.05.2014, 04:46 AM: You can see the lens in that photo. Also pictured is the little frame card that I got when I turned up. It's slotted into a bit in the back of the viewer, so that you then slide the card up and down to show the different frames, and look through the lens to see them properly.
