Suit Cased

Posted on Apr 22, 2008

I blogged about a suit case shelf a month or so ago.

Last time we were in Utah we stopped by DI. I found me some sweet cases. Only they weren’t as easy to stack as the ones they used on ReadyMade. Sir Luke broke them in half with some pliers, a chisel, and a mallet.

We were able to use the suitcases to cover all the cords and wireless internet router in the awk-weird shelf that plagues Nevada homes.

We decided to display our collectibles.

I think my favorite is the Vader Potato Head Dueling with my Polaroid (don’t worry it does get use. I use my collection too).

1. Record player
2. Photography book
3. 20×200 Print
4. Star Wars Potato Heads
5. New York skyline
6. Temple
7. Target phone
8. Ray Bradbury
9. Darth Vader mask

Cuband Posters

Posted on Apr 21, 2008

I found these posters through “design to inspire.”

Cuban Posters.

I got a Japanese movie poster for Sir Luke last year. Paris Je’ Taime was the movie we saw on our first date. It’s a glorious movie. And if you haven’t seen it already I suggest you do. I love posters in other languages.

Especially these.

Thumbs Down

How NOT to make your website horrible:

1. Don’t resize my browser! I don’t care if you want me to view your work on all white. I have it that size for a reason and I don’t like it when you louse it up!

2. NO MUSIC! That’s about the most annoying part of photography websites these days. Your music is not cool, I don’t care what band you’re listening to right now. If you’re not getting paid to put someone else’s music on your site and it’s not yours, get it our of there.

3. Locking the buttons from page to page. When I scroll around on someone’s portfolio I like to click, next, next, next. When the next button moves it ruins the flow of the experience.

4. Too much flash. I get dizzy when there are windows and words flying all over the screen.

5. No Thumbnails. I know a lot of people like them and use them. I don’t understand the reason for having them. You shouldn’t need to have a next button and thumbnails. Pick your poison.

This mostly applies to the photography websites I look at. I see a photographer’s blog and I think the person’s work is really interesting or lovely. Then I get to their website and I can barely get past my browser being huge and the newest Jack Johnson song playing, to even peruse the work.

And I apologize to Duston for using his entire website as an example. I really love your work. I just can’t stand the way you present it. Your blog is far superior. With a lot of friends asking who I would suggest as a photographer for their wedding, I would definitely recommend him to anyone getting married in Utah. Good price, good eye.

Granted, I do not yet have my own website. But I’m working on it! You can bet your bottom dollar I’m not forcing you to listen to my favorite Travis song or making you navigate all over the place for a way to scroll through my images.

Twins

Posted on Apr 18, 2008

My mother has spent her time over the last 23 years convincing me that this doll had people doing double takes. That is right people thought this doll and I were twins.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty awesome. But don’t the three stitched eyelashes and fingers sort of give it away?

In Case

You might not be my friend on Google Reader, but you should be, and you might not have seen this blog post I saw with a video linked form the New Yorker.

This poor guy was stuff in an elevator for over 40 hours. Ahhhh.

One year later

I’m fairly certain I have the most attractive husband ever. Sir Luke and I met each other one year ago yesterday. I’m pretty happy with the results.

Don’t blush Sir Luke.
