After the nyc trip and monotype tour, I thought I’d try my hand at using a serif. I’ve never had to pick a serif for a project.

this is hard.

I bought a canon ae-1 on a whim today. My first film camera. I know nothing about it.

Was on craigslist and found someone selling it for $50 and I mean how could I not.

A typical page from the notebook. to most, a series of scribbles. to me, a solid concept and 7 ideas for ambient ads for a campaign.

Right now I’m seen as a photographer who studies design. I want to make the switch to being a designer who does photography.

So I’m starting by taking down my current photo site and building up my design portfolio.

It’s weird.

A surprising well done flyer for an event someone sent me… but it was a 12MB file. This is why the community suffers. These kinds of things should be embedded and no more than 200kb.

It’s the little things man. Our community needs serious help with email marketing etc.

SUCH a fun family to work with. I LOVE working with really involved parents, its so rare unfortunately. Seriously this family is so sweet it caught me off guard. Funny how that’s now something out of the ordinary.

on another note, I need to hire a design intern asap. Really hard to manage freelance and school. If you’re somewhat designy and have experience working with/general knowledge of middle eastern and south asian americans, please send me a message.

I want to bring home videos back.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while but I want to switch it up with this whole lifestyle photography thing. Wouldn’t it be great if while shooting I took a few 30 sec clips and put them together? Usually there’s such great energy when I’m shooting and idk, I feel like that’s something extra I can offer.

What do you think?

Lol my dad’s the cutest. He just sent me this flyer he made and asked if I had any input and if I could add a couple things to the bottom.

Signage is so hard to design like those vertical banners? I don’t even know where to begin.
