The Power of Monday.

For your possibilities, for a fresh start, for your new regime.
Monday's always have the bad rap, the end of the weekend, the end of fun.
What of the things it can bring.
New news.
Something found.
A sense of beginning.


Don't frown on Monday.
It's the beginning of something beautiful.
Embrace Monday, it's a fresh slate, it's wonder, it's undiscovered.


The Power of Monday.


Here's a video to get you discovering:

Goodbye Mr. Creator.

So I am on a "pinning" binge on some tumblr blogs and I feel bad. This whole reblog thing really brings to light the disposability of the creator in these work. What has happened to attribution?
I know http://www.curatorscode.org/ exists but tools need to be integrated into the net to allow an uploaded image to be tracked to its original creator.
I believe people have the right to share cool things they find but I do believe the creator should get some acknowledgment.
Imgur is the worst of this. User are even stripping the connection link to the original source. 
We should really evolve our sharing. People are talented and they should be congratulated on that fact not forgotten.

PressPausePlay: Welcome to the new creativity.




PressPausePlay is an amazing documentary well worth watching. It catalogues the changes for artist from new technology. The main thing I took away from it is that nowadays everyone feels like an artist. Everyone has a laptop, has software has the net to gain the knowledge. Its all attainable. The barrier has been broken down, the mystic of art creation is gone. Now what we are left with is talent. For me I some times feel crushed by the weight of all this creation. Every where people are creating full feature films, full albums and amazing work with almost nothing.

Technology is no longer the hoop to jump through. We are left with people having to learn the true skills behind art. No more “How does this camera work?” but “How does this story work?”.
Its and exciting and scary time, for all of us. Progress moves fast. Its hard to be heard through the cacophony of voice begging for attention, pleading for redemption.  

Live Fast, Yell Louder, Die Smiling, Repost.
