Flashing the Middle Finger at the Dreaded Middle
I’m screwed. The flight is full. I need to go where I’m going but there are only middle seats. Isle seat gate keepers refuse to look me in the eye. Creativity has a middle seat and as with airlines, you never want to be in it.

You’re freelance, you know about cash flow; some months are easier than others. Your number one job is keeping a strong grip on passion’s handle, however, with passion driven businesses your credit line is self discipline.

12. August 2010
This is where it begins; the 1000 words theoretically embedded in every photo. Art and photography depends on language translation. The narration begins in our heads as we create. Just as music rises above its mathematical roots, imagery is descriptive.

10. August 2010
While interviewing Will McFarlane for this video, I was reminded how critically important it is to avoid getting caught up in the nuance of our creative fields.

6. July 2010
Perhaps we’re looking for meaning, or overcoming creative block, or simply have too much free time, yet my wager is on the speed of which our cultural environment is changing. We simply can’t keep up so we are gradually choosing an alternative: finding a place to plant our flag.

1. July 2010
There are elements of a great picture beyond composition, simplicity, light, color, texture and all that designy-crafty stuff. With some tormented thought, I’ve narrowed it down to three elements that seamlessly overlap but are also separate enough that they seem to own a category.
