- Quick! Wedding Photography!
Just a quick shot from a wedding last weekend.
- Best thing ever said
I was taking pictures in the park yesterday, and this girl said to me, “I’m a sleepy panda. [pause] Because I came from China.”
A few more after the jump.
- The Market Instability Monster
In Fooled By Randomness, Nasim Taleb talks about setting up a display to only show him very broad characteristics of the market. I wanted to create a kind of ambient monitor that took this idea but humanized the numbers into something that could be understood in a simpler, more passive way. Using weekly data from a total stock market index, the monster grows when instability is high and shrinks when it is low. The head is an indicator of short term instability. I wanted an aspect of the monster to retain a memory of special events in the past, and the ribs that appear at moments of extreme instability are supposed to serve that purpose.
- Tattoo Portraits
I’ve been working on a series of portraits to accompany an article on military tattoos that ran in the last issue of the Texas Observer. Most of these are from the tattoo convention a few months ago.

- Tipped Bowler Tapes site launches
After a few months of work, the site I’ve been making for Tipped Bowler Tapes has launched. I posted the logo for the label a few weeks ago, and the site’s look and feel continues with the Victorian illustration theme. The site uses jQuery to give it a bit of Flash feel while still keeping the markup nice and clean, and sIFR drops in to make the headers pretty. It’s an oddly built site and a nice change of pace from some of the other work I’ve been doing.
A side note of thanks to Rob Goodlatte for coming up with a fix to an annoying bug in Safari having to do with half-pixel background positioning.
- Letters in Landscapes: G
G is for giraffes. What else?
- Tipped Bowler Tapes Logo
Logo for a record label that puts out cassettes and records. They wanted a Victorian style of illustration, which carries over into the Web site I’m working on for them. Coming soon.
- Landscape Composite
This is a slightly obvious composite. Everything was taken at a park in North Austin where I habitually get lost.
- Film Noir Photos 1
I’ve had a spurt of noir-related activities for a bit (notably Chinatown and some Raymond Chandler) that got me going on this little set. I haven’t touched it in a while, but maybe I should.
