Reading Journal Tres

An aspiring photographer uses his daughters as his adorable muses, who taught him to learn from Disney characters and, "just keep swimming." MyModernMet.com wrote a profile on Jason Lee, a man who didn't have to look far for photographic inspiration. He takes pictures that expose his daughters personalities as well as maturity stages in insanely creative ways, such as photoshopping them into their christmas stockings, or placing them into a cappuccino machine. Lee uses Flickr to share his photos of his kids, but it has helped him promote his business as well. Those two adorable daughters are bound to have the greatest childhood photos to look back on!

I like the way MyModernMet writes profiles on artists like Lee because they place the emphasis on the art and inspiration and less on the entirety of the artists life (how they live etc). In the couple profiles I read, I got short but sweet insight into creative peoples lives, enough to feel as though any one is capable of art.

In fact, I stumbled upon this website and their profiles from boingboing.net, a fascinating blog that I've come to love/be addicted to. I am so interested as to how the writers find the new grasping topics that they write about, and I couldn't help but notice the bloggers writing posts as early at 7 am, only clarifying that blogging is not solely a hobby.

Staying on the technology wagon, I decided to check out MIT's technologyreview.com, a site complete with over 50 blogs. It's interesting that such a science geared base has the same journalistic styles as the other mainstream newspapers and news websites. An article covering GM and Nissans new ventures into the field of electric and hybrid vehicles interested me and I re-re read it only to find out it was PERFECTLY structured in terms of the inverted triangle method. Scientists will be scientists!
