Logos, Anyone...?

Sometimes I think the very things that define me are the things that serve to confuse me.

Scientists will say I am Right Brained - uses feelings, "big picture" oriented, imagination rules, symbols and images, present and future, philosophy & religion, can "get it" (i.e. meaning)believes, appreciates spatial perception, knows object function, fantasy based, presents possibilities, impetuous, risk taking... phew!! Thats some serious BS! Simply put am an artist... thats all I know.

Over the past couple of years I have been trying to figure where do I go with my Photography. Perhaps the era of thinking of it as an 'elevated hobby' is slowly coming to an end as I realize am delving deeper in to the science and business of it. Graphic design has been my bread and butter for a few good years. It comes naturally... yet I truly despise it.

I am working on my aspirations for 2010, all about growth and more redefining. Lets see where this rabbit hole goes... Below are just a few logos I have created over the past 10 years, for personal clients as well as with an ad agency. These were done using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, and even by hand.

how old are you? delve deeper. the doing of it, whatever it is you actually do - when you get out of your own head and consider the universe around you - in the making of your images -- just do it, and let its story unfold. I too am struggling with the business and science of photography. I too am enthralled by this hobby's fall to earth from its elevated stance. That everyone consumes and now produces images is very important. Its great. Everyone now has the ability to engage in a new kind of visual literacy, and develop their own sense of aesthetic. Each one of us practicing photography contributes to that process, and has an opportunity to stand out, because they take the raw material of life, and do something with it to enhance joy, reveal pain, bear witness, and arrive at their own truth. Whether you are right or left brained - you have a brain, with 2 sides. The more you use both, the more all humanity benefits...
