handmade frames.

After a lot of setup, money, and research, I am finally getting down to making custom wood frames for my photography. Ideally, I’ll be using weathered and worn barn wood, but I also like the look of new rough sawn exotic lumbers as well. I supposed it depends on the customer and the photo being [...]

z3100.

Along with the last “proud” announcement, I am proud to announce my new photo printer, the HP Designjet Z3100 24″ wide-format inkjet printer.

I sell more [...]

project collab.

I have convinced one of my coolest and most talented friends, Karel, to join me on this site and guest write. Karel runs 2octave, a company specializing in sound design and audio identities. In one of our fuzzy cloud “wouldn’t that be cool” chats this morning, we chewed over how cool it would [...]
