Visual Texture

I have a lot of ideas for how this space will evolve, but for now the first steps are to simply share some thoughts on design with you. Depending on the day that may entail notes from a lifestyle photo shoot, a link to some designers and artists who I’m drawn to at the moment, musings on typography or maybe just photographs from the weekend. I expect that this blog will also become my sketchbook, giving you early glimpses into projects I’m working on and ideas that are swirling in my head. I invite and welcome your feedback.

Today I have a shot from a recent digital photography workshop I took at the HOW Design Conference in Atlanta.

Looking up from the atrium at the Hyatt in downtown Atlanta.

While not much in the workshop was necessarily new to me, it was a great reminder to re-awaken and pay attention to the patterns and textures in everyday life. Since then I’ve been capturing them whenever possible – for use in my own stock photography stash, and because they’re art in and of themselves.
