A Tribe of Clay lovers

Yesterday I received my preview copy of Seth Godin’s new book Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us in  it he addresses a growing movement that I have been mentioning in previous posts when referring to social media. The subject of community and tribes and the role they can play in cultural growth and eventual paradigm shifts is something I have been chewing on for several decades, going back to my days in city planning. The power of the book stirred up  memories, of the ‘60s and later graduate school, as I read on, I started thinking of Godin’s premise in the context of our current state of things especially the shifts I have been noticing lately.  There was something familiar about it all.

digitalapplejuice | iWork!  I swear!Okay, so I am a bit of a software snob. I can’t help it.  I come from the “right before computers were cool” generation.  My first experience with a computer was looking up the Dewey Decimal system on the library computer in High School.  Then after flirting with a few PCs in the public lab while writing a few last minute papers for English Lit I moved on to my first Mac in the art lab.  After that, there was only one true love in my life.  The Apple!

Drawing on my Computer…

digitalapplejuice | Drawing on my Computer...

One of the most amusing things I feel about my job is the lack of knowledge most people have of it.  I often have people ask what I do for a living. If they know I office out of my home then I their fist vision of me is sitting around in my PJs watching opera with a diet coke in one hand and letting my nails dry on the other.  I may or may not have a computer sitting next to me, but most likely not or else it would be in the way of those feet I am propping up.

Madbadcat’s Note: By his own admission, Brett Taylor is largely self-taught. I would tend to argue that,  as artists, we are all "largely self-taught", exploring new territory each time we approach a subject. His passion for painting may come from finding TEXTURE as a new addition to his visual vocabulary. Chek out the texture on this closeup of one of his paintings.

 Madbadcat’s Note: The first time I saw Jaye Frisina’s work, I laughed out loud. How is it possible for that whimsical ninja to be endearing and threatening at the same time? The answer to that question is probably the essence of Ms. Frisina’s talent.

Digital Infrared Photography by Cyrill Harnischmacher

digitalapplejuice | Digital Infrared Photography by Cyrill Harnischmacher

 

One of my colleagues is an architectural photographer who shoots digital infrared images a great deal of the time.  Unfortunately, he lives several hundred miles from me and when we are together (which actually is seldom) we spend our time talking about our lives and clients–and lately, hurricanes (since we both live in areas that are affected by storms).  That means that we don’t spend a lot of time talking about infrared photography, which I would really like to do.  For me, that’s unfortunate because I am actually very interested in the “look” of the infrared photograph, and years ago in my film days I actually spent some time experimenting with black and white infrared film and the appropriate filters.  So the theory is not unknown to me, but the practical aspects of digital infrared photography is very new to me.

How Great Design Can Save Democracy & The NYTimes

digitalapplejuice | How Great Design Can Save Democracy & The NYTimesFor the last 8 years, I have gathered my morning coffee and toast and read salon.com. Last year, Joan Walsh became the managing editor. More and more salon has become the "Joan Walsh Show" and the tone of salon.com, like MoveOn.org, no longer reflect my opinions or interests. During this process of losing interest, I found myself starting my day at NYTimes.com and falling in love with it a little more each day. Read more
