I had the pleasure of stumbling up on Bruno Cals photographs this evening and I am simply in love with his work. Particularly this series: Horizontes.

Oleg Dou and his Amazing Manipulations
I have never been quite so inspired to drop everything, pick up my tablet and start playing with my shots more than I have been today. How could one not be after viewing this stunning collection of photo manipulations by Oleg Dou? Hmmmm?
From Dou’s about: “Being electrocuted when I was two years old is the first thing I remember.” Is it odd that I want that on a t-shirt?
From his Cubs series:
From his Toy Story series:

If I just said “Ice Hockey,” You Wouldn’t Watch It
I want to put this on repeat and have it going on in the background all day. It’s… well it’s kind of hard to describe. The light, happy, amazing feeling that comes with knowing this is a real moment in time at a real place with real people.
I want to go to there. (There being Windy Arm, Yukon)
Let Me Touch Up Your Photos!
Hello friends! Gather ’round, for I have news! I’ve finally started offering up my super-duper photoshop skills to the masses. Yep. You can all breathe again, the day has come.
Seriously though, I really love the art of retouching, restoring and enhancing photos. There was a time when I wanted to restore visual art for a living, but then I found out you pretty much have to go to school for as long as a doctor and thought better of it. Sad how that worked out, but hey! Look at me now!
Because I love it so much, I really want to help out those of you who find the process less than enjoyable. We all need digital photos these days, whether it be to share with family, for our facebook, for work (i.e. headshots and online store product shots), so why not hire me to make ‘em look just a little more gorgeous?
Here are a few examples. See some more over on my new Photo Retouching page where you’ll also find information on how to work with me and my incredibly reasonable rates:

My Creative Morning
This morning I attended the the NYC Creative Morning hosted by the brilliant Tina Roth Eisenberg of Swiss Miss. For those of you who’ve never heard of this glorious eye opener (and eye opener it is because DAMN it’s early), it’s a free-of-charge lecture series for creative types that takes place once a month. The meeting is such a wildly successful idea that multiple cities around the world have started hosting them.
Today’s speaker was none other than Jacob Krupnick, a photographer and creator of Girl Walk // All Day (previously featured here), a 71 minute dance video around New York City to the beat of Girl Talk’s mashup album “All Day” (go get it for free right this instant!).
My morning began looking like this so I had a feeling it’d end up being pretty swell:

Art I Would Move Into: The Obliteration Room
This is what happens when you let kids into a white room with colorful stickers. Thank you, Yayoi Kusama, for the childlike inspiration.
