Getting old
Just realized I have been working in the photo biz for 22 years now. Yikes. First assisting gig for a local Mall (remember malls?) was that long ago. It was where I first learned to call duct tape "Gaffers Tape" to make it sound fancy. LOL!

The Doors? Really?
"And while a thousand bands have artfully ripped off Pavement, everyone looks absurd imitating the Doors. They are the rock equivalent of "Don't try this at home.""
I have not thought about The Doors in years, but the other night a buddy brought them up and then I read this yesterday. The above quote is one of the best descriptions of them I have ever read. The write up is a interesting read about the 40th anniversary of L.A. Woman.

Art is Forver at the Portland Museum
[gallery link="file" columns="1"]
My good buddies Jason Liesge owner of OddBall Studios and Cheyenne Sawyer recently did a day of tattoos at The Portland Museum of Art called Art is Forever. All tattoos were based off of art in the museum.
You can see more in a HTML gallery here if you are interested.
And a Video from Jason Sturgill here:

Generation X is sick of your bullshit.
"Right now, Generation X just wants a beer and to be left alone. It just wants to sit here quietly and think for a minute. Can you just do that, okay? It knows that you are so very special and so very numerous, but can you just leave it alone? Just for a little bit? Just long enough to sneak one last fucking cigarette? No? Whatever. It’s cool.
Generation X is used to disappointments. Generation X knows you didn’t even read the whole thing. It doesn’t want or expect your reblogs; it picked the wrong platform.
Generation X should have posted this to LiveJournal."

Ecaustic project from yesterday
[gallery link="file" columns="1"]
So here is what I was playing with yesterday. I should have tested with some more blacks in the wood areas, but this was a nice learning experience.
Big Thanks to the wife for dragging my butt into the studio.
Encaustic fun

We Are the 99%
A single mother with 53K in student loans, no assets, savings or insurance, I just lost my 3rd job in 3 years, and at 52 years old, am considered overqualified for the jobs being offered and cannot find employment at my age in my degree field - and don’t you DARE tell me you can’t live on 400K when I could manage to live with everything my son and I need on 30K! I am the 99%. Occupy Wall Street.

Pocket Wizard update
A number of enhancements have been made to the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5’s HyperSync feature. These changes can improve the performance of HyperSync and make it easier to configure. This new method adjusts HyperSync timing in two separate places – on the transmitter and on the receiving ControlTL radio. The transmitting or on-camera MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 automatically adjusts HyperSync to compensate for changes made to shutter speed. Photographers can further refine HyperSync via the PocketWizard Utility.
New Pocket Wizard update 6.0for the MiniTT1 and FLexTT5
