Another one I’m thinking about.

I am trying to decide on my second picture to enter in a contest for a chance to exhibit some of my photos.

The original idea was just to have EARTHS COLLIDE stacked on top of each other with two planets colliding as an overlay, but this didn’t translate exactly how I wanted so as I was re-arranging the letters I found I really liked having them reflect collision. So instead I went with an overlay of our Earth and made it have a patchwork / quilt effect so it felt simple. This is juxtaposed with the black and white and highly technical drawing behind it, and it also reflects what happens during the inevitable cultural collisions we experience.

Enjoy!

Still more NYE to come, but this is definitely one of the best ones.

Last month saw the greatest number of unique visitors to the site ever (2x more!) and almost 1G of data was transmitted from Flying Magnet Studios to the brains of people all across the country. I congratulate Russia for appearing to have the greatest number of spammers operating currently.

This month I’m focusing on re-organizing the hi-res site to better serve the needs of my clients, potential clients and my visitors. Look for the galleries to become more divided based upon their audience and as my editing eye continues to improve, look for smaller galleries. That includes removing some pictures from existing galleries.

I’m also going to be updating the site to provide more specific information about how to work with me and how to get in touch with as well, so keep your eyes peeled for that.

I really want more comments though, so I’m considering offering a personalized 8×10 print of any picture (not for sale elsewhere) on the site. So post comments and if I really like yours I’ll contact you about how to get a print to you.

I’ll be moving downtown in a month in a half so I doubt I’ll post many non-work related galleries this month as (hopefully) I’m going to be out shooting lots and preparing a collection of the best pictures of the Eno River years.

Thanks to everyone who visited the site last month (pre-thanks for this month!) and to all the people who have reached out to me, especially the guys at Market Restaurant!

Also I’m gonna end each month with some monthly favorites . . .

Album:  Harlem “Hippies” (Was going to link a review, but I disagreed with Pitchfork about it being a singles parade and not an album, it is a great album!)

Show:  Brotherhood

Record Store: Bull City Records

Taken all over downtown Bull City, only hassled by one security guard nearby the American Tobacco Campus.

Just think about what I could do with 2 hours of your time . . .
