Notes from the studio —
focused on art, observation, and creative practice.
Distractions are the…
I relate to Dug. Often things distract me. I start a project, and while I’m actually working on something, a random thought “oh, I should do this” pops into my head and I’m down the rabbit hole of creative tasks and projects. Sometimes it can be weeks before I get back to the ORIGINAL task.
Trying to Outsmart My Anxieties
There’s a scene in The Lord of the Rings where a character named Boromir fiddles with a ring in his hand and ponders: “It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing.”
The Ultimate Guide to Taking Stunning Photos with Your Camera
Photography is a powerful form of expression. With the right equipment and knowledge, you can capture stunning imagery that tells stories and captures moments in time.
Choosing the Right Logo Designer
When choosing a logo designer you should take into consideration the body of work of the potential designer. While cost can be vital, it should not be the first priority. Make sure you take the time to decide how you will brand your idea.
Finding and developing rolls of film I found
The last photos were taken by my late grandfather. My grandfather passed away in 2005. He was an avid photographer and filmmaker. All of the camera gear & darkroom equipment were left to me as a part of my grandmother’s will and wish. Buried in a couple of the camera bags were undeveloped rolls of film.
Ethics & Photography
Where do we draw the line? Today’s tech is generating a world in which AI intelligence can replace skies, colors and completely modify your image. Creating an unreal world of over manipulated beautiful photographs. When do we say no? My latest YouTube video discuesses the ethics of photography.
