Title: Eric “Batman” Mullins.
I’m fond of 2 things… beardos and baristas! Put them together and you get a whole lot of awesome sauce, case in point - this photo of my friend Eric Mullins. He not only makes a mean coffee but he is a superhero!
Side note: this shot is also Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) with my Fujifilm X100 set to Provia/STANDARD using a custom white balance. I’ve been not only on a roll with these SOOC shots - but I strive for them. The X100 is totally my BFF and trusty sidekick!

Title: Chuck Anderson.
I love to watch artist’s create pieces of art and this weekend was no exception. I attended the UICA’s 2012 Live Coverage event and like every year I attend my camera was in awe of a lot of amazing art and artists. I did however set out this year with one simple rule: You will buy NO ART this year! You see… the word on the street is that I have an art purchasing problem and Live Coverage normally does me and my pocket book in. For most of the night I was very well behaved - I looked at pieces of art that I wanted and humbly said to myself “NO!” Well that went well for me until I saw the progression of Chuck Anderson’s piece. You see, I’ve been a fan of his work for a few years now and as soon as my eyes made contact with it I was off to grab a bidding number. I once again had that “art buying high” that I love so much. Sad ending to this story is that I was outbid and I went home with no art, just like I told myself I would do. Tear.
If you are not familiar with Chuck’s work make sure to visit No Pattern (link below). I love his use of color, bold styles, and use of lines/directionals. He rocks it out like no other!
