New Blog Update

I have just officially updated my blog!!

I am changed my blog address to www.igcphotoblog.com

For the past couple months I have been trying to figure a way to really stream line and improve in my blog and I finally have figured it out. Plus I have been using this blog set up for way to long. I have come to grips with the fact that a blog is a fluid medium, meaning that it needs to be changed and updated. Hope you enjoy the new blog format, comment on the new blog and let me know what you think.

Favorites

I'm not a person of favorites but I do have a favorite photograph and a favorite photographer. This post is about my favorite photograph. The strange thing is that I don't have any other definite favorites. I don't have just one favorite restaurant, I have the restaurant that I like in a specific style. I don't have a specific favorite band, I have a hand full of bands that I really like. That list of bands is consistently changing. I used to ask, "what CD are you currently listening to?" That would tell a lot about a persons taste in music, but now in the "age of technology" we listen to digital music. Everyone seems to listen to everything on their iPod or favorite digital music player (I can't be one sided, there are other great players out there....yea right!). Side note, I love me some vinyl, it has changed my view and interaction with music. Movies, people can talk about this one forever, I could not put together a top 10 of my favorite movies. Aright, so on to my favorite photograph. It was take by Danny Lyon in 1966 while he was traveling with the Chicago Outlaw Motorcycle Club.



He described this collection of photographs as, "an attempt to record and glorify the life of the American bikerider." Why do I like the image so much? That is a tough question to answer. There is something in the photo that draws me. It's not just what he portrayed visually through the lens but the emotion and feeling in the image. If I had to pin it on something, I would say that it targets the part of my personality that enjoys the adventure of life.


Every time I go home I am reminded of this photograph. This past Christmas I decided to try and recreate this photograph. I only had my iPhone and one chance to get a shot with no cars around. I didn't want to turn around or wait for the trip home. This was taken on the bridge between Kentucky and Indiana that spans the Ohio River. Like I said, while I'm driving on the bridge, I only think about that photo. I think I did a ok job at recreating it.



If you have a favorite photography, I would love to hear about it!

I love Mugs!

For those of you who know me, this is not a surprise. There is something about drinking something hot, my preference is coffee, out of a mug. On the other hand, having a soda from a mug is fantastic! I guess I could say that just about everything tastes better from a mug. The other day i brought all of my favorite mugs to the office to photograph them. It was fun, at one point I had them in a row on my desk. So naturally I had to pick my favorite and ask everyone else which one they like. I didn't post the photos in any order, they are random. I can feel your tension, you really want to know which on in my favorite, it's number 10 (the tenth photo from the top). There is a story behind all of the mugs. My favorite mug is from Mazatlan Mexico. It is hand crafted and hand painted. He makes a whole set of dishes in this style. The one thing about the mug that made me fall in love with it is the colors, especially the blue. The blue combined with the other colors is absolutely beautiful!! Would love to hear your thoughts about which mug is your favorite. This is no contest and I'm not giving out my mugs, i love them way to much. I just like to hear other peoples opinions.

Cheers,
