A Night With David Ramirez
For years, David Ramirez has been someone all of my friends have told me I need to meet and see live. For one reason or another, it had never been able to happen until last night when he, a couple of friends of ours, and I happened to be in Nashville at the same time. For a town that doesn’t shut up for anyone, David wooed the crowd into silence within the first couple of minutes into his...

For Steve
The world gives us so few who provide a way for us all to see in new ways. It always hurts when they leave. The effused sadness that has spread through the internet from the news of Steve Jobs’ death is to be expected. We lament when things are taken from us, and I’d say that Jobs’ death (like Henson’s, like Disney’s) took a valuable lens onto the world from all of us still here. His way of seeing...

Google Calendar, iOS, and Mac OS
I have a question, but first, let me explain the situation.
I have around six different calendars that I keep up with at any given time. For years, there has been no problem adding, removing and syncing events to my iPhone or Mac Book Pro… ‘Til now.
In a few days, I will be bringing on an assistant to help with various tasks and needs that I have around the business. That being said...

Wait For Daylight – A Christmas Mix
Wait For Daylight – A Christmas Mix December 2010. A Christmas mix for all you music fans.
Going with the tradition of last year’s Christmas mix, I decided to do yet another volume for this year. I sincerely hope that you enjoy it as much as I have. To be honest, I’ve been listening to this mix strait for the last few days. It’s my favorite thus far.
So, my gift to you –...

Reducing The Noise
Over the past week or so my friend, Jeremy, has been saying that his New Year’s Resolution will be, “Less Email, More Creating.” To be honest, my mind has been contemplating all the ways that I can reduce various noise in my life. In September of this year, I was subscribed to or following countless blogs, was following over 250 people on Twitter, and read every email that came...

Massimo Vignelli
Like most designers I know, when the 90 minute documentary Helvetica came out, I found myself watching it religiously back to back countless times. I was absolutely enthralled by how much discussion could be had over a font face. If you haven’t seen the movie, to give you a brief description, it’s a documentary filmed by Gary Hustwit telling a brief history of graphic design, type...

Paper Route – Absence Live 2010
In October, I posted a blog featuring images of LIGHTS from her tour with Owl City & Paper Route. It wasn’t my goal to post the other bands so long afterwards. I’m Sorry.
That being said, there is one band that I’ve known for a few years now and have been blessed with the opportunity to see in both large and small capacity venues. This band started as three dudes writing...

The Fear of Asking
Yesterday afternoon, I posed a question to my 590 followers on Twitter and my 1600 “friends” on Facebook and received 2 good replies out of 3 total replies. To give my followers yet another chance, I posed the question again. No further replies.
The question was this:
If you could ask me anything regarding what I do professionally, what would you ask? Topics could be: Workflow,...

An Evening with LIGHTS
A few months ago, my friend, Breanne, called me to shoot some promos since she was going to be in town with Owl City. I kindly obliged, shot some promos, and then that evening went to the show where Paper Route and LIGHTS opened up for her band, Owl City.
In 2009, I had the chance to see LIGHTS in a room of 150 with Copeland, Lovedrug, and Lydia. My friends and I were obviously impressed with...

Very few times in life do you get to witness a large group of great friends getting together to celebrate, but as it would so happen, I’ve witnessed three great gatherings of friends in the past year. The first of those gatherings being my wedding and the last being the CD release party of Gatlin Elms’ “Carry Me Home”. I’ve been so blessed to know Gatlin Elms over...
