1. keep calm and…

   aside from being a photographer, i have a huge obsession/love for photoshop. i love creating graphics, manipulating images and just generally having a good time seeing what i can do. today while i had some down time, i made some printable graphics in photoshop. i’ve already got one of these printed out for my kitchen and will most likely print out another to decorate my office. i enjoyed making these and was so pleased with the result that i decided to offer up these printable graphics for sale on my etsy shop to see if any of them sell. it’s worth a try!

2. “book it”

   
   tonight was the opening of the “book it” art show at pinkghost. (that up there is a close-up of my piece for the show.) a lot of the pieces there were really creative and interesting. it was cool to see what people created, having a hardcover book be their only criteria. i was happy with my submission and i hope that other people like it as well. these are some of my other favorites from the show (click for bigger):

3. buildings.

   

   i took this shot over the weekend, while driving around looking for graffiti. i used to to shoot buildings/doors/windows/bits of architecture all the time. i miss that!! i need to make a conscious effort to get back into shooting like i used too.

   i used to take pictures like these below, all the time:

4. BP KILLS.

   

   considering the crisis and disaster in the gulf right now, with apparently no end in sight, i thought this graffiti stencil i found was very appropriate!!

5. tentacles & suckers.

   i saw this in the seafood case at whole foods over the weekend. as soon as i saw it, i reached for my point&shoot camera that i always keep in my purse and snapped this picture. i’ve been fascinated by octopuses for a while now. i think they’re incredible creatures and i love their tentacles and little suckers! right after taking this shot, i was informed by the whole foods employee behind the counter that photography was not allowed. LAME!
