photography

You fill in the blanks.

I know that being a photographer is more about seeing a shot than the act of snapping the photograph, but sometimes one has to wonder about naturally occurring (or unintentional) patterns and colors. Looking for photos makes one more attune to organic design.

We went to see Factotum last night. It was amusing -- always do love Lili Taylor. But the best part was seeing what parts of the Twin Cities they would use as "LA." I spotted downtown St. Paul, the west bank, the warehouse district, and, funnily enough, the day labor center a block from my house. They also caught on film one of the last classic abandoned buildings in downtown, which I photographed last year experimenting with a Lomo. I love the richness of color the Lomo provides.

It’s that kind of day. Out of coffee.

I’m hoping that using a real live content management system will encourage me to take more photos and produce more cool projects. As an experiment, I chose Textpattern, in an attempt to broaden my horizons… but it felt very unsupported, not a lot of updates and communication, so I went back to WordPress, which feels very solid. So far so good!
