Need a Kickstart?

Above: Pop’s ‘Stache is the answer to the age old problem of “Hey! I just put my drink down at a wonderful social gathering, now which beverage is mine?!”. Found on Kickstarter.com.

What is Kickstarter?
Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors.

They believe that…

• A good idea, communicated well, can spread fast and wide.
• A large group of people can be a tremendous source of money and encouragement.

Kickstarter is powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully-funded or no money changes hands. It’s a great way for artists, filmmakers, musicians, designers, writers, athletes, adventurers, illustrators, explorers, curators, promoters, performers, and others to bring their projects, events, and dreams to life.

I love seeing all the passion projects people are trying to get going. Get inspired (or funded) @ Kickstarter.com.

Tilt-shift Cuzco

Check out Vincent Laforet’s photos to see some intriguing tilt-shift photography. I love how this technique can make real life scenes appear to be staged sets.

Here is a quick tilt-shift tutorial if you want to get the same effect via Photoshop without buying an expensive lens.

I’m On the Pursuit of Happiness

I like the song. I love the music video – the style, the flow, the effects.

Did you get a facelift?

In a feeble attempt to edit my theme I killed my site so a new layout is coming. My travel blogging dropped off, but I will be rolling up my sleeves and filling you in on all the dirty details. Additionally, I will be adding a new “Inspiration” category, which will contain current influences and muses, such as the above video from Kid Cudi.
