Portraits :: Julia Parris

My friend and co-worker, Julia Parris has done some amazing medium format color portraits. I was honored when she asked if my better half and I would be subjects/models. It turned out to be a dreary rainy day when we could get together, but it completely fits with the rest of the portraits. An artist and photographer indeed.

awesome apps

Okay I've entered full iphone dorkdom when I blog about "apps". But any of my friends would say I entered when I started referring to them as apps instead of applications.
BUT CHECK THIS ONE OUT!
It's a photo filter called Polarize and it changes your iphone photos to look like Polaroids or there's the option to take the picture with the filter on. Pretty Sweet.

After

I know I know. How impure can you be. Not only is it not a real Polaroid, it's not even film. It's not even a real camera. For shame. Technology has once again spat in the face of craft. And I'm handing out tissues and taking more pictures with the polarize filter!!!

'We're all gonna die. 100 Meters of existence.'

I'm notorious for having five or more tabs open on my browser at once. I just like having the option of instant access I guess. I'll usually go through at slow points in the day and close or reopen new ones, but here's one I've had open for a few days now, and every time I think, okay, time to close this one, I just end up looking at it again and keeping it open. It's just great. greatness encapsulated in 100 meters on the internet.
A photograph 100 meters long, taken from the same spot over 20 days with only a few people noticing. Greatness.

Thanks to Tomas for sharing this link with the agency!

everyone knows: tiny = cute

And that is why I love this photo from knitalatee's etsy shop. What I really want are those teeny plants in thimble planters. They could go on the ridge between Matt and I's desk. And I would love them not proportionate to their size, but they cuteness.

Design sponge feature the above photo along with photos of her crocheted stones.

Mckinney street style

So twice now, I've harassed enough of my co-workers to pose for a "street style" photo for the Indie NC blog. (oh mama, don't be angry, you know I can't be contained). But just in case you missed that, let's see them again: Click the links to take you to the other blog for details.
