Under the Influence

-

Influenced by my recent read of a book on type design and a desire to see beauty in this drought this is what I ended up with for my Sweet Shot Tuesday. I'm wondering if I have source material for something here with the combination of metal, texture, and earth tones. Maybe, maybe not...

Picked up An A-Z of Type Designers at a local book store on a whim. Flipping through it reminded me of that old sage advice, "it's not what you say but how you say it". I used to think that just meant word choice. Later I realized tone, pace and inflection carry the message. They are the package which delivers the words you choose. For the written word the type takes on that role. I find that fascinating.

Stopping to Blow Bubbles

-

We spend our days completing tasks at work, managing our businesses, taking care of our family. Sometime we have to take a moment to do something just because  it's fun, like blowing bubbles,  and not because it ticks off some box on a check list. I'm going to do that by taking a few moments to look through my camera's lens at something that is not glass. Making this my first Sweet Shot Tuesday post.
