the open road

No, I am did not take up truck driving, but I am in a truck. Yesterday I had to work and this is one of the things I did at work. I am a stand in for the model. Kind of like a stunt double, the only the difference is there are no stunts involved.

This morning I used some photoshop skills to create what you see below... If I were a truck driver this is how I would see my job.

Attraction : Photo Assignment #1

For the first photo assignment the word was ATTRACTION. I could have taken pictures of the obvious things, magnets, people getting close, a tractor. I obviously wanted to do something very creative and out of the box. Unfortunatly I was working long days and was never able to utilize the day, or my mind for things other than work, sleeping, and eating.

With the deadline fast approching, and using the procrastinating skills I learned in college, this brain child came from a long week without rest.

I don't really think the assignment should entail captions for the pictures. Instead they should inquire the mind to think and ask what the picture has to do with the assignment. But I am breaking that rule...

As cheese is attracting to mice so too is technology attracting to us.
If we are not careful we can spend all our time seaching for these attractive things or merely using them. Yes, we may be able to communicate with people from around the world. Yes, we can get tasks done with a push of the button. But looking back at the amount of time I used developing this idea and final product I could have been doing things that benefited me or others in a positive way.

Enough said... I feel like I could ramble on and on about this. Maybe I should have just taken a picture of a couple of magnets?

Santiago Calatrava - Art Museum - Milwaukee, WI

One of the most amazing and beautiful works of art I have ever seen is the Calatrava. Stark white inside and out, and the wings add life, making it even more inviting.

As I was ending my 4 hour walk today along the lake front, I had to stop and marvel as the wings laid rest for the night.

Go to my flickr site and view the pics in a slideshow... kind of cool the way they it moves

the change over

For some reason I always feel the need to change things, I am mainly talking about the appearance of my blog. I am looking to make things more cohesive, because I am planning on doing more and more posting and I want things to flow well together. Before I start this massive bulk posting I need to have a good foundation. Until then, I will have to stick with my post whenever I don't have anything else to do posting style.

I am realizing as I am writing this I would rather change the way things look than actually post a new post.

With all that said, I have begun this new challenge of changing the look. I am doing this on another blog I have called GulpGulpGulp. Why is it named that? I honestly have no idea... it is a "test" blog, one I have had for some time and have done nothing with. Now it is the breeding ground for the new look. It is coming together so far with a lot of changes yet to be made.

C'est Si Bon

It's So Good...

What do you do when you live five floors above the street and you have dirty windows? Find someone who is crazy enough to climb outside and clean them. Luckily I know someone who fits that category.

Si Bon Si Bon - So Good So Good
