i think it’s diluted these days but it’s still out there.

unfortunately we have all too many opportunities to find it;

japan

the gulf

afghanistan

mexico

luv it along the coast. anywhere.
definitely have favs but new is always good.
as was the case here with a new client + fantastic art director.
one of the largest universities here in oregon.
up early (as in 3:30am) but well worth it.
three different cameras = 3 images.
this is behind the scenes.

good to be home + out on the streets late.

back east recently + damn good time. sweet when the humidity is down. and thanks to everyone there. can’t wait to head out on the sailboat asap myste + beck. came across a trove of cool stuff so here’s a few images + lo down on the the adventure.

lomography gallery store 41st w 8th st nyc – great little space with examples + cameras from across this style spectrum. fun neighborhood if you have the time.

cooper-hewitt natl design museum nyc – brilliant design in all it’s form. really like the moma store as well as muji myself for the take home pieces.

institute of contemporary art boston – shepard fairey – this just ended but was great to see the street promos done in his style that randomly popped of neigherhoods while out walking city streets. acting out by five artists might be sounds like a very worthwhile alternative + is still showing.

museum of bad art boston – in their own words, “is the world’s only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms.”

then more recently in the ny times another look at what has become known as ‘photoshopping’ in certain circles though was around far longer then the mammoth program we know today.

google quietly released a new update to google earth recently (this week?) and one particular feature has great potential for photographers of all kinds. anyone that ever works outside knows that weather is typically the first obstacle and given that, light will be next in the trouble line.

applying your bag of tools and using google’s new sunlight feature you’ll definitely have a plan of action. i’m using this already to scout locations as we can finally have an idea of what the light will be doing without relying solely on maps or scouting pictures. here’s what it does if you’re standing north of Mt Hood, OR.
