Porters Are Coming To A City Near You

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Yesterday at about 6:12pm EST I launched another business. Yes, I know that it seems to make me a tad ADD, neurotic, hyper, overly focused, etc. But rest assured that is is just about having a dream or an idea and working hard to see it to fruition. The process is becoming shorter each time [...]

Fun With Photoshop

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Lately I have been just fooling around with some post-production work on some of my images. I have never been really strong at it nor have I had the eye to match depth of fields, colors, etc. But I am getting better so whilst practicing last night I decided to take a break and remember [...]

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I have grown up near the Chesapeake Bay and even heading down to Nags Head each summer. But for some reason I never really took advantage of what a great feeling it was to breathe in the salt air and to hear the sound of the ocean each morning and night. But this past week [...]

Is The South All That Dirty?

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

I have been talking in past weeks with dreXeL and our new friend Kris Krug about a potential mixed media art-on-the-road project in which we will challenge ourselves to discover the real role of the southern region in today’s cultural climate. I mean, what actually gives the south its gentility, its beauty, and its mystique? [...]

Between the Country and the Beach

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Yes, there is this very odd locale that exists somewhere between the oceanfront and the country. It is where the grass begins to mix with sand and the only plants that will grow are bushes and forms of cactus. The breezes are cool but are always mixed with this heavy salinity. It is a special [...]

Surf City, Here We Come….Surf City…blah, blah, blah

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

I am back in Brooklyn now sitting at my desk sorting through emails and going over MinuteFix items as well as creating a ‘to-do’ list and getting back to business. Vacation was wonderful though. Just after the family reunion I headed to Surf City, North Carolina to spend an amazing 8 days with Crystal on [...]

They Like Me…They Really Like Me

Friday, April 11th, 2008

I just received an email from Schmap informing me that one of my Paris images was used for their 2007 Schmap France Guide. What is the Schmap Guide though? Well, Schmap’s series of digital travel guides integrates dynamic maps with useful background reading, suggested tours, photos from the traveling public and reviews by local correspondents [...]

I Bleed Garnet and Gold

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Since Sunday I have been in Tallahassee, Florida. I haven’t visited my alma mater, Florida State, or the town since mid-2005. Even then it was a very focused mission trip with little time to just look around. So this trip was all about catching up and taking it easy. Since I graduated so much has [...]

Where In The World Are You, Drew….And Why?

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

It seems that my globe trotting has left some folks wondering where I am most of the time and what I am doing. I guess I haven’t explained much. I originally intended to move to New York City by February 15th. I had everything set and even had an apartment lined up. At the last [...]

Tea Towel Tao

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

The nice thing about living in a small town is that when you don’t know what you’re doing someone else surely does. Yesterday was such a confusing day. After experiencing a day in the Delta with 65 degree temperatures and bright, blue skies one would hardly expect to wake up the very next day to [...]
