"Crossing Edges"

Crossing Edges

"Walkway No. 2"

I revisited this shot with black and white film after originally capturing it with a cell phone camera.

Production Still from a Commercial's Set

I was the location liaison on this particular set for a commercial shoot. Part of my job was to snap pictures of the building before the crew moved everything around. I took this production still after the set dresser finished his arrangement. The director was Gregor Nicholas, and it was inspiring to watch him work.

Corridor

Shot with Kodak T-max 3200 black and white film. Experimenting with the grainy style of this film. I really like its effect on concrete.

Best Conditions for Writing:

  1. An environment where your cell phone has to be turned off.

  2. Limited access to the Internet and no access to social media, chat or personal email.

  3. A place where you have to sit for long periods of time in front of a computer.

  4. Limited to no contact with other people or distractions.
This, for me, has been the ideal writing environment lately.

First Photo and First Omelette of 2012

Six egg omelette with bacon, grilled onions, jack cheese and sprinkled paprika. A nice way to start the new year and get my first photo of 2012 in. Happy new year.

"Grunge Box" created with Inkscape

I worked with Inkscape alongside a friend today and created this RSS box icon from scratch. There is a great listing of tutorials at the Inkscape Tutorials weblog where I discovered how to make this and other cool things. The great thing about an exercise like this is that it teaches you some useful techniques to employ in your own designs. Inkscape is a great vector graphics editor, and it's free. To learn more about vector graphics, there is a pretty decent wiki on the subject.


I made this box from the "Use Inkscape to Create a Grunge RSS Box Icon" tutorial. Enjoy!
