What Do You Sell?
I don’t know if there are any formulas, books or websites for quitting, like there are for starting businesses. I didn’t see, “When to Quit Investing in Your Losing Business Venture,” on Amazon. But I did a search for those words and what did I get? Mostly I found links to information on starting a [...]
This Weekend’s Featured Movie
The Fun of Being Thoughtful.
No kidding, that’s the name of this “educational” film that is part of the Internet Archives (a fun site to visit for ephemeral films) Ernest M. Ligon, Ph.D, author of The Psychology of Christian Personality (published 1938) was the educational collaborator. This short film from 1950 is about the Proctors, [...]
Creativity is an Exploration
The world of psychology was knocked upside down when, in 1979, Andy Meltzoff, tried something that had never been done: he stuck his tongue out at a 42 minute old baby. The baby, being a newborn, had no idea what a tongue was but somehow, through some deep inherited characteristic, she stuck her tongue out [...]
FIRE! No, wait. MEAT!? Or is that, NAILS!? WOOD?

Shooting from the Hip #18 (while moving an entire studio)
Done. I’ve moved in to the new studio. Six trips in Vicki’s Suburu Legacy station wagon with Vicki at the wheel. Without my girlfriend as driver and watchdog, not only would I still be moving, I’d probably have been to the tow pound on 12th Avenue as part of the deal. After all, who was [...]
Moving Day
I’ve spent the last 6 years working out of a small studio inside of Graphic Systems Group on Union Square. It’s been a good run, but now it’s time to move on to something a little more, well, studio like. So it’s out and down to 12th Street, just two blocks south of my favorite [...]
JPG Magazine Photo of the Week
JPG Magazine online just voted my Happy-Go-Lucky Goldfish photo of the week. Once again, I didn’t even know it. Someone from the website said, “congratulations.” I love this photo series as evidenced by my jumping goldfish logo. The photo on this blog posting is an outtake from the original shoot.

Craftsmen Revisited…
When I was a kid, my dad had a workshop, his sanctuary really. There were countless days spent at his side, building or fixing something, always setting up some kind of power tool or hand tool, depending upon the project of the moment. Much of that time I would have preferred playing outside with my [...]
