H&M says Sorry

H&M apologizes for this model being to tan in a recent ad campaign for bikinis.  Who cares?!  For the millionth time, models are edited to make the prettiest picture.  Her tan isn't real and neither is H&M's apology. 

What H&M SHOULD apologize for is for the constant feeling of disappointment every time I browse the men's section in their Denver store.

TADOW!

Were you just about to say, "Why he always bloggin' about other people's stuff and never doing any of his own work?"  Well, BLAM! I've been shooting for Continuum, Bernwood Customs, AND makin' cool stuff.  Keepin' it fly.  Keepin' it sharp.

RyanRice

Ryan Rice makes really attractive, saturated, contrastical paintings with funny titles.  This one's called Sublime.

(So, cool I had to show you even though there's a watermark.  mmhmm)

The Scream

Know what's awesome?  It's awesome that The Scream by Edvard Munch just set a new record as the most expensive piece of art in history.  It sold at Sotheby's for 119,000,000.00!  So many zeros!

Know what's slightly less than awesome?  Mr. Munch has been dead for like, over 100 years.  That's a lot of zeros that he's never gonna see.  When are we going to start appreciating art BEFORE an artist dies?

Run by day, Run by night

So, if you know me you know that I avoid running and/or most kinds of physical exertion at all costs.  But I do quite enjoy this public art commissioned for the 2012 Summer Olympics by Monica Bonvicini.

STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS ACT of 2012

The Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 would make it possible for skilled educated people to get out from under the weight of their debt and start actually putting our skill and talent into the workplace.  Basically, it could make everything better.

Nikon Camera Control

Well, well, well.  There is finally an option for Nikon shooters to go tethered (apart from capture NX, which costs a pretty penny).  Nikon Camera Control is an app designed by (I'm guessing) Nikon which allows you to shoot tethered, remotely control your shutter as well as camera settings, and ect.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS...
that whoever designed the app neglected the fact that most photographers rock a MAC.  This application is for Windows machines only.  :|

BLUNDER

Jaaaaahahahahahahahahhahahah.  Now listen photo retouchers around the globe!  I know what it's like to trade sleep time for edit time, buuuuuuut, I ain't even gotta zoom up on your marinara to see this blunder.  Oh dear...

MFAs

As randomly as random can be... I somehow found myself on a list of MFA students somehow.  I clicked around a little, adjusted my crown, and found a couple cool sites if you wanna look at something cool.
