New Header

Like a friend said in the comments, I thought the old header was a bit jarring with its underlining. Instead of fixing it, I just though id make a new one.

some photoshoppery later:


It's interesting that after switching the header to the right, I still kept the headers square or at least rectangular in shape. Dunno how it occurred to me that I could experiment with different shapes and forms and placement of text. This ones a bit safe but I like how it looks. Maybe ill do something more adventurous later on.

I think this header was partially inspired by penny shaped Daguerreotype photographs. I like how it was the style to set portraits in circular frames, I guess this is still seen as a natural fit considering how people vingette studio portraits in an ellipse around a portrait.



I've been watching this great show on BBC called genius of photography, and thats what got me into daguerreotype. I think you should check it out if you're even partially interested in photography, the production quality is fantastic.



The youtube channel contains all the episodes. I'm on episode 4 now. Episode 3 was really good, if you want to just get your feet wet.

It's been a while since I've had a new header, so I went ahead and made this one:

How does it look?

New header everything.

This blog needed a overhaul for a while now. I kinda found the old format a little tired and well, old. So I messed around for a while now (under the influence) and I feel like I'll go with this format for a bit. We'll see if this format still works after the Gin wears off.
I also figured out a a pixel width to post pictures in so they come out bigger.

Lovely Barbara is the subject of the current header, Or well her leggings(?) are anyway.

New Header

It's been a while since I changed the header. And as you can probably tell, I switched up the layout of the blog a little bit up as well. This new layout lets me post pictures a bit bigger. Im not sure at what size though, and im just going to have to experiment with that. If you have any suggestions, I would really appreciate that (like pixel size etc).

I still come back to these pictures, these were taken ages ago near a windfarm.

New Header

I felt like I've had my last header for a while now and wanted to change things up a bit. Last one was all summer-y with nice saturated film colors and I wanted to make this one a little more fall and desaturated/cold and how much more colder can you get than a dead, stuffed bird right?

et voilà

Its been a while since I've had a new header. The source picture is one of the severely light leaked pictures from Staten island.

So the new header came from this picture.



Im not sure what that Chinese phrase means, but my sister had it up on her wall. I took it down, found a nice, white spot for it and shot it.

New Header

I plan on changing the header of the blog every so often, and explaining the picture behind the last one.
Here is the last one;


This was the background image used


I call this image cloud city, after cloud city from Empire Strikes back. I appreciate modernist architecture and cloud city is one of my all time favs.

The header this week is using the same format of the last header, mainly because I dont have photoshop on my computer. So I made a few headers with the same typography but different background images, in the computer lab before went on a break. I'll get more creative when I get back to school, and get to use the computer labs.

I call it monolith, inspired by 2001:A Space Odyssey. I'm a big Kubric buff.
