I find that when I choose color schemes for my designs I end up falling back to my favorite colors over and over again, so when I need variety I’ve been using Adobe’s Kuler to find color inspiration. I love the way it works with CS3 so easily, and it seems to be the [...]
I’ve decided to establish a running feature on my blog that I will call “Typography Photography”. In this case, “Typography Photography” is defined as being a photo of typographic work in context. Of course, the type work and its environment must be interesting, but the actual photography must also be well done. [...]
“Click”, by Colin O’Dowd, is a mirror shaped like a Polaroid picture. I think it’s a pretty nifty product for people that are into photography. It would be a fun mirror for those that use compact mirrors, but I would also like it just so that I could photograph it reflecting different scenes. [...]
Paulete Matos is working on a great photo set project called “Rhythms”. The photos all consist of a single person with an umbrella walking on a gray textured road. It’s a simple idea, but well executed.

Colorado artist Anthony Cozzi has a small but fantastic collection of giclée prints sold under the moniker “Snowblinded”. I especially love the “Volcano” print as it reminds me of Asian woodblock prints. The rest of the prints feature great colors and texture as well in both photographic and graphic styles. The price [...]
“If possible, don’t take a picture of anything right away. Give yourself time to just experience. You need to do this to understand what you’re photographing. If it’s a landscape, walk around and soak up the sun, smell the dirt. If it’s fashion, feel the textures, the colors. If it’s a portrait, talk to the [...]
I was literally watching Juno (again) yesterday and found myself wondering how they created the animation sequence during the opening credits. I had guessed that they just lowered the frame count of an actual video and used some effect to give the frames a hand drawn look, but it looked too nice to be [...]
