Burning Cockpit
On the back burner (no pun intended) for a VERY long time. Months. In the end, I’m quite happy with the image, and I’ve stayed pretty true to the visual I had in my mind, and that’s a plus. Sometimes adding more can destroy the image, this one has had a long enough gestation to [...]
Cropping is good for design.
I’m starting to enjoy photography quite a lot.
I like how even mundane things are interesting when you really look at them. And good cropping helps focus the eye… It’s a bit like designing, but before the shutter button is pressed….

The Cloud of Conclusion
Sometimes, the easiest thing to do is to write, sometimes the hardest. One thing I have noticed about myself over the last few years, is my predisposition to write when I want to design. I think either it helps me get into the groove or it kickstarts my creative side.

The set as a whole? Most definitely Work in Progress. :)

25 images to go!
Project: Produce 25 images on the subject of direction. Very interesting work so far.
In other news, very much on the go here, work for WVFC, work for Panther, work for a new client (which I’ll post when it’s complete), personal projects, busy busy busy…. Busy is good.
Should have a “proper” post with some [...]
