I have no idea why this one jumped out at me. . . but here it is.

The Lady in the Culvert
in photography
Had to run out and shoot some quick and dirty (not that kind of dirty) video for a client yesterday and stumbled across this.
A nice little reminder to go off the beaten path more often.
Expression Tunnel
in design, photography, words
I spend a lot of time thinking and working on graphic design. It's how I pay the bills. But I've tried to refrain from including it here—a site I've tried to keep focused on photograph. However, I've had a category for design on this site since launching. I'm thinking it needs to get used every once and while. Occasionally they collide. Like now. I'm working on a cover for boundary 2. These covers are great to work on from a design perspective: challenging.
For this next issue, American Poetry After 1975, I found myself looking for graffiti, largely for textures to build a cover from. In Raleigh, the most accessible (and reliable) graffiti is the Free Expression Tunnel on NCSU's campus.
Now, the chore of editing these and finding a way to make them work as duotones. On a cover.
(Oh. And I'll probably loosen up a bit on posting design related stuff here. At least until the Sky2x site is launched. Which, is actually in production. Shocking.)
