About typography...

This is an example of what I call "crap font." Someone got paid millions to do this. *sigh*

It's not a vacation...

... until you get a picture with foul-mouthed birds.

Day the first...

Day one here on south beach has been delightful. We had a great flight in, watched Wall-e on the plane, checked in and went to Oceans Ten for a fishbowl of red bull-vodka. Afterwards, we took in the sights and walked the beach and elsewhere. Now we're pooped and researching places to visit after breakfast. It's a toss-up between the butterfly conservatory and the erotic art museum.. decisions, decisions..

We have arrived...

Greetings from Craig & Sara in Miami!!

On our way to Miami.

On our way to Miami. Be back in a few days with a tan. Pictures will be posted along the way... bon voyage!

Thinking out loud...

I've got a few thoughts crawling around on the floor of my head... most notably, concerning the idea of getting involved in producing stock imagery. I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it's a good way to build more portfolio work. On the other, I'm concerned about selling away work like that. Is it worth it? Would that make me a sell-out? Where does a 'commercial artist' draw the line between doing work for financial gain and artistic integrity? Just wondering. Please discuss. I value opinions.

Of recent developments...

So I'm here bored and blogging on my phone from work. I've done a bit of research and after a few hits and misses, I've decided two things- 1: I'm going to bite the bullet and purchase my new camera when the lady and I return from miami. And 2: I've gotta make a big comeback with my show next month. More details on that as they happen, but I'm definitely going to be showcasing some new landscape work. Please send good vibes and inspiration. Your karma will reward you.

In memoriam...

while shooting some new work today, my camera made a funny flick when the shutter fired... i reviewed the pictures and saw that more than half the image was black. my shutter failed. the timing is broken and it's going to cost more than it's worth to repair and mail it. i'm upset and a little bit freaked out right now. i'm struggling to find solutions and replacements. if anyone knows someone selling a CANON camera body, please let me know.

mournfully,

craig.
