As promised in the previous post, here is a short video I made for Paul Hopman, an Arizona based Sketch Board artist who does some amazing portraits of animals. While shooting some street portraits, we got to talking and he asked if I could produce a very short video about his art, which you can see more of here…

This afternoon, as is our last Sunday tradition, The Visual Collective had some lunch and took a little photo-centric stroll. This month there was an art show at Wheeler Park in downtown Flagstaff. Everything from photos, to painting of all kinds, hand-made soaps, knives and everything in between.

Just a quickie today. I like to shoot flies when I can, it is challenging and also could have other artistic implications if you are prone to giving meaning to things like that.
I got this guy to cooperate for a few frames before he flew off. Shot on my desk with a piece of paper, a 55mm macro lens and a small cheap ring flash. Not too bad for 30 min work.

Did you know you can search Google by dragging and dropping an image from your computer? Google will scour the internet and show you everywhere that image appears. Yup, it’s true…While is isn’t breaking news by any means, I did a Google Image search for one of my images just to see if it appeared anywhere on the internet is wasn’t supposed to…Hit the link to see the results…
For any of you who might get a chuckle out of the title of this post I am sorry for the lost hours of your life that you will never get back (not really, it was fun).
