He has an amazing presentation with stunning photos from around the world. I noticed the photos with the most drama are those that are back-lit. It simplifies the subject and brings out the form. Great for making simple, bold statements. btw, if you want to get better at Photoshop, illustrator, or using any Adobe software, CreativeTechs runs free classes almost every day, on a variety of subjects. I highly recommend them.]]> artwolfe_photophoto by Art Wolfe

Any thoughts / comments welcome. I haven't gotten the typography right yet, and I'm not in love with the idea of business card as User Interface.

Moving home is a tough decision. Many of my peers understand the desire to save some money, deal with career indecision and get some training. On the other hand, they know it also can mean months wasting away on the couch, getting your laundry done. So when I told my friends “Adios!” as i left for home, I can’t help but feel guilty and a little defeated.

As people are struggling, I’m sitting on the couch with my dog after a delicious 7 hour eating fest. Even though I’m leaving behind a beautiful apartment in hip, fast-moving San Francisco, I have no regrets about this decision. My parents house is in a quiet and solitary town where I can focus on my work with less distraction (not as busy as San Francisco). I’m going to be staying in a beautiful home, with a huge garden. Saving money.

But I refuse to view these three months as a defeat. I will grow and accomplish a lot personally and professionally.

For three months, I’ll be at home at my parents house in Lompoc, CA. I was offered a position at Citrix Online, a company located down the road in a town called Goleta. The company appears to share the same passion I have for User Experience Design, and so I simply could not turn this opportunity to learn UX, work with UXers, and perform the work I plan to pursue as a career.

Oh yeah and home made Chinese food every night ain’t bad either.

I hope you’ll stay with me and wish me luck!
