as a designer i'm always on the look out for the cool stuff. you know the new styles, the new way to do something, new photoshop brushes, new grunge textures, etc...I have found a website that is just plain cool. chck it out!

chase jarvis

this is a site i come back to time and time again always finding something that inspires me to get out there and be creative. whether that's with photography, design, color, family time, whatever. chase seems to get it: creativity isn't something you do, it is something you are.

be creative.

go create something and remember that "The Best Camera Is The One That's with You." chase has an iphone app that helps photos taken with your iphone to be all they can be, while still in the phone. is it photoshop for the iphone, no. but again as the name of the app reminds us, The Best Camera Is The One That's with You.

be creative.

by the way, the post in the screencapture here is entitled for the love of photography, read it.
