I may be  a little late to the party but I am loving it.  Instagram is my new hobby. Taking pictures of the things of life, editing them a bit and sharing. Simple, quick and fun. The thing that really draws me to Instagram is the great community of people that you can share your photos with, comment to, like and discover great inspiration.  The dudes at Instagram are doing good things. Check them here.

Working on a video for Greycoats that will be out in a couple of months to accompany their new album. I am really excited about this project and the band’s new album.

It is always a challenged for me to work in motion. I really enjoy creating a visual feel and love the idea of bringing it to life but the process is not an easy one. A cleanly executed  video or mo-graph piece it can look so simple and natural. However the process of getting to this natural simplicity is anything but natural or simplistic. Every frame is considered, every effect worked at every transition bumped forward then back. The end result is very rewarding yet unless you love the process effort required can make it  difficult to see the project through to completion. This piece of work is well worth it.

I will post again when it is released. Until then enjoy some of Greycoats’ tune and info by checking them here.

 
Steve,
You have created for the creators and forced the world forward even when they didn’t want to go. You brought laughter and fun to families, couples, and individuals through what you helped create. Your drive for perfection was noticed. It has caused me to push beyond who I thought I was or what I thought I could accomplish.
Thanks again for a life that helped change the world.
Though you were great, you were just a man.

From the 1970′s these images have traveled to the future. Giant heads in landscape form, scientific machinery, quests, cities of geometry, it’s all here. Though these images were created in the last 12 months they appear to be part of some sweeping scifi epic that would make Roland Topor and René Laloux jealous .

These are the brainchild and creation of Swedish artist Kelian Eng. He also has some motion work over here on Vimeo.

I love the idea of using modern tools to create aged looking images. I think we need to look back before we can ever move forward.

When ever I see an alien movie my first thought is, why does everything look like a variety of humanoid. Well, the aliens has landed and they are stranger than we could have imagined. These creatures of the deep are so amazing in their variety, color and transformative properties. I am in the camp that believes that God created these creatures and made design choices for each being He created.  I know this is not everyones view but I love the thought that these creatures are truly designed to not only be functional but awe-inspiring and beautiful. Alexander Semenov photographed these creatures in the White Sea, located in northwestern Russia. He made some great captures. You can find out more about these earthbound aliens here.
