[ Photography, art, design and some blogging about all and the same. ] I am a former advertising art director-turned flight attendant-turned web & graphic designer/ corporate marketing communications specialist. I was born in Northern California, grew up in North Carolina, lived in Los Angeles and am currently living (restlessly) in Arizona. I'm a graduate of North Carolina State University with a double-degree in English and Graphic Design.
Unless noted, the equipment I use is a Nikon D200 digital SLR with Nikkor DX 18-70mm and Nikkor DX 55-200mm VR lenses, as well as a Lensbaby 3G selective focus lens. I run Photoshop version CS2 on my either my iMac or Dell PC and it's past time to upgrade. I bump up my colors using LAB channels. Now you know all my secrets.

The new My Morning Jacket album.
Very Flaming Lips-ish.
(Lips-ish? That's a word I don't say too often.)
Thanks, Dave, for recommending it.
