Metal Distortions: New Photo Set Posted to Flickr

Check out "Metal Distortions" -- my latest photo set over on my flickr gallery.  I've just uploaded about ten distorted versions of rock concerts I've been to this year. I especially like the way the shots from the Judas Priest Epitaph tour turned out.

Kindle Experiments

I've begun another series of weird photos -- "Kindle Experiments" -- over on my flickr gallery. Just having fun messing around with shots of my amazon kindle. Let me know what you think.

Alternative Rorschach

I've only done three "cards" so far; and if feedback keeps coming I will do the entire deck of psychologist inkstains in my own weird way in the weeks to come, so keep coming back (see Rorschach Inkblots page on wikipedia to learn more about the source of this stuff).
