I know I have not been updating this as much as I should, but I reached a really busy time in my life with moving to Kansas City, trying to get this last semester of college done with, and working a ton. I am back though with a new project I am really excited about. Why? Because it involves beer.

 I hope to document my journey through different types of craft beer using film and my new darkroom. Be warned though the darkroom is still in progress (not much longer) so the first few posts will be digital photography still. Please stop by and for all of you who followed and visited this blog I thank you so much.

I will leave this blog behind for any new random posts I may come up with, but this new blog will be my new home for a bit.

Cheers,
Alexander Bear

Wire Man Custom Bokeh

This guy is about the only good thing I got out of my initial major of networking and communications. Maybe if I would have spent less time making little guys out of cat5 cables and more time learning the OSI model I would be making a lot more money right now. I hope to do a whole series with him in the future when I find more time somewhere. 

The light behind him is supposed to be in the shape of a man, much like the wire man. It was done with a bokeh cutout attached to the end of the lens, a lot like this one.

Life & Times of the Wire Man

Vaseline Filter

Bored at home today without school or work, so I must find ways to pass the time. I decide to put vaseline on my lens and take pictures, no not really (I'm cheap and I don't want to risk my lens), so I put it on my filter, no not really (I'm super cheap and worry about making my $20 piece of plastic greasy), so I put it on some old plastic from an iPod case, no not really (I'm a hoarder an may need that some day for warranty uses), so I use my girlfriend's old iPod case, yes really.

New Watermark

I've had this idea for a watermark for sometime now, but due to my very limited knowledge in graphic  design (None if you wanna get technical). Luckily my good friend Aaron, who is on his way to becoming one of the greatest artists of our time, turned me on to another Aaron (apparently talent is in a name) who was able to draw this up for me. After 2 exchanges in emails and less than 24 hours he already had a few options delivered. If you are in need of anything such as watermarks or logos Aaron Shaffer is more than professional, and won't keep you waiting.  
His email is :aaronshafferdesign@gmail.com

Overflow

It's been awhile since the last post, but I have a few pictures for the next couple of days from our riveting photo challenge this month in my photo club: Water drops.
