This is a really interesting article on one man’s documenting of NY Subway design over the years.

Amanda Palmer’s TED Talk
This is a uniquely brilliant TED Talk. She makes a great point in regards to the connection between the artist (in any medium) and their audience. The connection is the point of the art, in my experience.
WTF Pen Package Design
Nice design on this packaging. I didn’t purchase, just took an out-of-focused photo of it…
Best Advice for Graphic Designers
I couldn’t agree more with this simple advice from the legendary Saul Bass about the most basic component of your design knowledge – drawing.
Recent Instagram Images
Here’s an assortment of my recent Instagram images. The first set are mostly from recent bike rides and the second set are all from a hike up Stone Mountain that I made a few weeks ago.
Library Video
A friend sent me this video about the artwork found in ancient books. Some real amazing and beautiful works here. Check it out.
Oh, and yes, I am still working on a new show. Not as hard as I should be, but it is happening.
New Work Coming Very Soon!
It’s been kinda slow around the site recently. I’m working on a new body of work that I photographed two years ago and is now getting ready to be on display. These are some black and white landscapes from the northwest U.S. I am really excited about them and can’t wait to show you all.
Here’s a (differently formatted) teaser…
Looking West
I’ve been inspired, through some of the iphone projects at hand to revisit some work I’ve done over the last five years and look at it with a new vision. The first of these is some telescope portraits I did in Washington state. Looking West is the small collection of these images. I have many more that I’m working on bringing together in new ways and I hope to have these posted quite soon. Let me know what you think about this new work.
Instagram Gallery
So I’ve been having way too much fun using Instagram, as mentioned in an earlier post. It’s a great visual social networking tool. It’s especially useful if you’re in the early stages of leaning the art of photography as it can open up a world of feedback to help you along. I’m really jealous of kids today, though they will never know the wonderment of working in a darkroom seeing images come to life through chemical interactions.
Using Instagram reinforces my love of iPhoneography, that’s for sure!
Video
This is a few months old, as you can tell by the abundance of snow in the video, but I thought it was worth posting here. I finally got around to experimenting with shooting and editing video on my iPhone. It’s a pretty cool process, I’m not sure why I haven’t done any of this before now. My dog Jack absolutely loves snow and plastic flower pots. This film documents that love, or tries to anyway.
