Scribing Fundamentals

I had the pleasure of attending the Scribing Fundamentals workshop from Dpict. It was a great learning experience with a really nice group of people. I can’t recommend this workshop enough. We talked about drawing, or course. But this scribing / graphic recording / graphic facilitation work is really about listening. We used the word channel a lot too. Channeling what you’re hearing to synthesize or capture, and then drawing it. That process is so amazing to me. I look forward to growing as a practitioner and artist in these areas. Here’s some of the work I created: As a...

Making Zines on the iPad

I’ve been doing so tests to see how I can make Photograhy Zines on my iPad, without buying any other apps. I already have procreate, so that’s my main app. It’s fantastic, but really not great at page layout (or I haven’t cracked it yet).  I’ve just put some images into Pages, the stock Apple word processing app. I think I have a workflow now that will help with layout and not cost me any more money.

Topics on the top of my mind… • 12 Principles of Animation • The Noble eight-fold path of Buddhism • A book summary of sorts for The Lies of Locke Lamora There’s...

Goofy Construction Barricade

This was the last shot on my first roll of film I put through the Sprocket Rocket Camera. I was walking back to my car which I had parked in the High Street garage in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  I love the fact that someone had taken the time and effort to add the googly eyes and teeth to this otherwise bland construction barrier.  When out shooting film, especially in a small little town like Portsmouth I am always amazed by what you can see when your eyes are open to making photographs. It’s a flow state mindfulness thing I suppose....
