Dove’s Real Beauty Campaign

I’ve blogged, last year, about Dove’s Real Beauty campaign. They have started another campaign. And while one could find numerous potential issues with methodology, I think their campaign makes some irrefutable points that need to be assimilated into our culture. Corporate fashion and glamour marketing promotes a tremendously unhealthy self image, especially among women. They know the uglier you think… Continue reading

Inspired to Macro

Last week, using my iPhone, I shot several pictures of many of my old watches. Shooting with an iPhone has some significant limitation, and shooting close ups (macro photography) with an iPhone is particularly challenging. Most of those shots were just awful, frankly. Blurred. Even though I mad some attempt to focus the photos… Pulling focus is always a huge… Continue reading

Sad Day for Tim…

Today, I officially admit defeat. I accept my destiny.

The Laser Watch

I’ve made myself stop wearing a watch.  My iPhone has a clock on it that auto syncs to the network.  And, as I travel so much, that comes in handy.  My iPhone is always showing the timezone in which I currently am located, unlike my watch which requires a manual change.  I’ve gotten comfy going without the watch. But this… Continue reading
