A sneak preview of the staging area for the Little People concept / project I will be working on for the next 2 weeks. Played w/ some props and done a couple preliminary shoot for proportion, details, lighting etc. via iPhone before shooting w/ my Fuji x10.
I’ve written / storyboarded about 18 potential vignettes so far. Psyched about materializing my miniature world.
Stay foolish – stay inspired!

Few days shy of one year since Netdiver Mag was repurposed to become sort of a very unofficial record of web history as captured from {1998 – onwards} — I am thrilled to make this announcement.
After 17 years dedicated to leveraging the online creative community — it’s my turn. Reinvention time.
Portion of the semi-sabbatical creative reboot I am undertaking this year — à la Sagmeister — will appear in the feed. Semi = talents or projects will be featured w/ posts intermeshed w/ my own creative output.
Sabbatical = no client work.
_______

First on my list — a few are aligned — a self-initiated project involving photography, typo and illustration. Currently sifting through my stacks of pictures — doing a first round pre-selection. More edits for sure. Themed or color keyed or both? May work — or not — but the concept is set. Figuring out the ‘selection’ process to achieve a fluid eye-candy storyboard.
The passionate image seeker is decloaking today. Expect point and shoot or staged shots. My quest for the right ‘typographic’ treatments. Graphic design to nail ‘identity’ and editorial grid.
Ultimate goal? Publish a book. No title yet.
_______
Preparing a staging exercise w/ my new Fujifilm x10. Took w/ iPhone screen of camera w/ background. Cool huh?

Kim Høltermand and I go sometime back now. I have followed his photography career from almost the beginning and it still eludes me how he garners such poetry from sometimes so dire locations.
Wish he would make series of postcards or blank greeting cards from some of these.
Showing some of my fav. Head-on over.

Quand mamie balance de la typographie, c’est du lourd ! When Grandma throws you typographic posters – watch-out! – (liberal translation) is a in-you-face photographic / typographic essay by Jonathan Menet.
