Night inspiration

I've been meaning to practice using the flash on my camera. I ran around last night in the dark and snapped a couple pictures of my yard. This is what happened.[gallery link="file"]

Fair Day and Father's Day

Here are some images from the San Diego County Fair Del Mar Fair and a couple pictures from our Father's Day celebration in Dana Point.[gallery link="file"]

Ryan Adams - Orion

I just wanted to share the first 5 tracks off of Ryan Adams newest album entitled Orion. Let me know what you think. I'm pretty sure the only reason I'm listening to it is because Ryan Adams made it.



The peaceful valley in Ramona

This is a secret place in Ramona, CA where there is only peace and virtue. Here are images from this utopia.[gallery link="file"]

New camera

So I purchased a Nikon D50 the other day. Here is the result of my first few days with it.[gallery link="file"]

Masculinity

Been thinking about masculinity and how it is expressed in the modern world and how it may have been expressed before modern conveniences. Do technological advancements negate the necessity of masculinity? Have we substituted new rituals and expressions of masculinity in the place of older, more vicious and perhaps savage ones? Are these new ones as effective in nurturing the spirit of masculinity?

On an unrelated note, I'm going to be getting a camera soon to add pictures of my adventures. When that happens you won't have to just look at pictures that I've added words to.

Bring on the insignificant

I wonder what the legality is with grabbing images off teh intarwebs and adding words to them.[gallery]

Words and Pictures

As I've been developing the theme and character of this blog I've been trying to incorporate both images and words together. In my previous blog, all I did was just write words with pictures (occasionally) to illustrate the words. Here I'm trying to merge the two together in order to meet the demands of the modern reader. As we scan through blogs we see lots of words and pictures. Attempting to reach out of that mass of information is very difficult.

Here are some designs I've been working on

I don't really know how my inspiration works. It's different with words than it is with the images I create. I should be more conscious of what moves me to write versus what moves me to make pictures.  I posted a comparison of an image I saw and then modified/copied. Sometimes that's how it works: I see something and I want to copy it as an exercise in design. What inspires you? Are there routines, places, foods, beverages, music, movies, images you use to move you to create?[gallery orderby="rand"]
