Holiday Goodness

What do we all want for Christmas? Well, besides the usual wishes for Darth Vader cardboard cutouts the obvious answer is meaningful social change! Kiva, my personal favorite microfinance institution now has gift cards! Here's a link to Kiva's official info on the card and how to purchase it. If you are lacking holiday gift inspiration (or have an abundance of inspiration) then I recommend that you make someone special a social minded venture capitalist. If you have any questions about Kiva or microfinance please don't hesitate to shoot me an email...or follow that link and search around, but either way, alleviating poverty is the new black, it goes with everything.

Photoshop on the W/B

My only tie to doing any concrete creative work lately has been taking pictures with my DSLR and photoshopping them beyond recognition. There's a lot of adjusting colors and whatnot. And lately I've been drawn toward slapping a word on top of the photo in a bold font with a bright color so it pops off the page. I'm pretty pleased with the results, but I think it might just be a reflection of LOL Cats in a pool of mountain life. Let's hope not.
