FINALLY, after beating myself up over stupid code that I didn’t understand for days, here’s the new layout. I’m still not 100% pleased with it, but I suppose I’ll worry about all that at a later point.
Feel free to let me know what you think and if there are any bugs I need to fix.

I’m pretty close to being finished with on piece from this new series I’ve been submerging myself in. I’ve run into a couple roadblocks as far as problem solving goes, but I think I’m pretty close to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
In between all of that I’ve been working on redesigning the website. I’ve pretty much finished the whole thing in terms of writing the code, and figuring out the design. Really all that’s left is connect all the links and drop in my photos.
I’m feeling pretty productive and pretty good about all of the stuff I’ve managed to get completed in between work, attempting at a social life and relaxing. High fives all around!

The Most Common Design Mistakes That Web Developers Make
It is a lot worse to be a bad designer who thinks they are good than just a bad designer. A good designer becomes good by constantly working with high standard designs; they spend a lot of their time looking at what is good. If you want to improve then you too will need to look at design resources and even read the occasional design magazine such as How to Print. All good programmers enjoy looking at other people’s code and the same must be true for those wanting to be a good designer. This will give you a sense for what is ‘good design’ and you just can’t get that from Photoshop
I think this is a fascinating article and can definitely transpire within various types of art. It kind of bothers me sometimes when people just assume they know everything there is to know about design or art when they know some or a decent amount of certain programs. Creativity and aesthetic choices don’t just end there.
Good read.

And because I couldn’t resist, this is part two of the same piece which is also in phase one.
Exciting!!
Also, I should be getting some x-rays that I ordered off ebay sometime today, which makes me double excited!

Sneak peak of the new project I just started working on. I know it isn’t much and doesn’t look all that neat, but it’s still in phase one. I’m pretty stoked about it and can’t wait to finish the first piece.

Someone in my Contemporary Issues of Photography class actually made something similar to this, but in a much simpler form. I thought it was funny then, and now I think both are awesome.

taking me nowhere.
My photography is not going to get published in magazines or books. It won’t get written about in newspapers or in blogs. It won’t earn me recognition. I’ll never win any awards for it.
It’s pointless. I hate being not good enough but I’m too old now, so I can’t go back in time and start taking photos when I was younger. It’s too late. I’ll be so glad when November rolls around, then I can delete my account. My photos. Everything. No more internal obligations to take photos. No more irritation from them. Nothing to nothing.
honestly, it’s pointless either way.
and boring.
I always have urges to delete my flickr and start a new one with random shit on it, because honestly taking snapshots of stuff is more amusing than actually doing proper photos. anyway photography is generally depressing so I don’t know why we all do it in the first place…
MAJOR DISAGREE. WITH BOTH POSTS.
It’s not about getting getting published, it’s not about being conventionally good, it’s not about being recognized, it’s not about any of that.
It’s about a moment. What’s beautiful about photography is the memory preserved by the photograph. Where you were, what you were doing, what you were feeling, what you were thinking— forever retained.
Nostalgia’s best friend.
there’s no wrong or right answer to these. i love it because i use it to express myself; what i’m thinking, feeling, experiencing. authors use words on paper, but i suck at communication and words, so i use visuals.
it should never be all about being seen and getting awards. and it should never make you depressed; frustrated, sure; antsy, why not.
don’t let the every day people who own cameras and call themselves photographers let you down. they’re in this too, but on a different page.
you can’t get upset over that.

I started working and sketching for a new project this weekend, and I’m feeling really good about it. I won’t go into too much detail about it just in case it decides to fall apart and suck hardcore, but so far it involves plaster molds, hot glue and colored sculpey.
Woohoo!
I do wish, however, that there were more hours in the day so I can get more work done. C’est la vie; hopefully I’ll make more of a dent in it this weekend than I have during the week.
Expect process photos soon!
