Day Fourteen – Photo a Day

I have this strange love affair with old and new technology. Here that contradiction plays out with old wood type and a new iPod Nano.

Tomorrow … another day … another photo.

Day Twelve – Photo a Day

I’ve always had an affinity for typography. Even as I look at drawings from my childhood I could see my fascination with the letter form. In art school my love for type was ignited further via Eric Ligon who we dubbed the “Type God.” Today, my eye is drawn to type and in this case the end margins of some fabric being used by my wife for a quilt.

What will tomorrow bring?

Day Eleven – Photo a Day

Shooting more food. I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing … other than devouring it.

Day Ten – Photo a Day

Well, this is still a good challenge. Ten days into it and my eye is still finding fun stuff to shoot.

This was shot with available light with the help of some reflectors and gobos.

Day Nine – Photo a Day

In most food shoots you don’t get to eat the subject as it’s been manipulated with foreign objects to the point that one bite would send you to the ER. But, in this case, I was fortunate to be able to eat to my hearts content, and WOW was it awesome!

Day Eight – Photo a Day

In 1965 my parents moved back to the States after spending three years in Malawi, Africa. Their belongings were shipped (literally on a ship) in wooden crates. For years growing up we always had these slabs of wood from those crates in our garage. They recently found their way to my garage.

Determined not to haul this wood around for 43 more years I decided to hire the services of Brent Lenthal to convert them to something with longevity and immediate use.

I am thrilled with Brent’s craftsmanship and detail to what now will be a family heirloom. Mom and dad say the wood is Mlumbwa from Malawi.
