This blog is a lifestream. It's an aggregation of all my life as I move around in the world. Mostly it is mobile pictures taken from my mobile phone, but occasionally you'll see videos and other things I find around the net. If you want to see *everything* I make/write/create, check out my FriendFeed.com/evantravers. If you tire of this random excursion into my shoes my serious blog can be found here.
Whatever Enters My Head

Red Sign: View On Black One thing that frustrates me about trying to take pictures of trees or forests… is it’s hard to capture the feeling of depth needed. You don’t want to completely narrow it (like I did here, for another effect) but you don’t want it too wide or the scene will seem flat. The effective forest photos that I see out there seem to use lighting as a way to depict the depth by waiting till the light is very low or pumping up the contrast. I’d be open to other thoughts on this subject, I have enough woods around me to last a lifetime and only 2 or 3 pictures I like of them. _______________________________________ My allergies are killing me… Surely I must have a cold at the same time.
