Do you perform better or learn easier when having a reason to do so? I sure do.
Typography has long taunted me as a beautiful and expression form of communication, and being that I'm a designer, artist, illustrator, and photographer, it seems only fitting that I should make an effort to learn it. So I created a project for myself to do exactly that.
My good friend, Lisa Shufro put together the world class speaker line up for this year's Life is Beautiful festival.
Read MoreThe next Jeep mod was doing a full vehicle tint. I took it to the group at Las Vegas Auto Tint & Graphics, and they did an incredible job. Gordon is a long time film veteran who did all of the precise cutting with just a freestyle hand, and made strong stylistic suggestions that I couldn't help but agree with. Maggie and Brandi also did a great job helping Gordon with some of the more tricky spots.
We ended up putting 18% over the back half, on top of the factory tint, so it matches closely to the 5% limo tint we did to the front half. We also put a thick 5% strip across the windshield for more light/heat protection.
Pretty happy with how it turned out! Now to just remember to keep my Optometrist's note in the car in case I get hassled for being darker than legal...

Now the next test is taking it out at night. I'm not going to lie, it's really dark from the inside.

Recently I packed up my Pacific Northwest life and moved down to the foot of Red Rock Canyon, in Las Vegas. It's been pretty amazing getting to go venture outside daily with my Jeep, dog, and cameras.
Just wanted to share a few photos of my trips out there, and there will certainly be more.
You can view them scattered throughout the main gallery, but here is all of them together. Cheers!
I just picked up a Canon 60D, my first DSLR. I also just added a new section to my site - Photography - so you can follow along in my growth and exploration!
I'll update the blog with a select few of my favorites, but will keep most of the activity in that section of the site.
Cheers!
