I’ve really been getting into combining flower images with glitch filters. They seem to go hand in hand – something about the organic nature of the flower, fed into the hyper techno random filters of the Decim8 app – I always end up with something interesting. Read more

Glitch Art Aesthetic
Glitch art is characterized by images that have been spliced, offset, de-interlaced, xeroxed, pixelated, or any number of filtered effects that makes the image look, for lack of a better word, glitched.
What is Glitch Art?
Glitch art is a continuous transaction between human and machine. You give the machine an image. It gives you back an altered image. You push, it pulls, you give, it takes. It’s an ongoing negotiation. The machine gives back infinite altered versions of that image. The beauty is in the curation of these iterations. The machine can glitch infinitely. It is up to the artist to choose the one that is compelling. Read more
Mavic Pro Drone Photos
These pictures were taken with a DJI Mavic Pro drone camera. This is a good starter drone for trying out aerial photography, this drone is good option. It’s both sturdy and light weight. Relatively easy to use, once it’s charged you can set it to beginner mode and get started. The photo resolution is decent as well.
Drone photography is an exhilarating hobby but there are drawbacks. Laws that regulate drones are constantly being introduced, so you need to check local regulations before you get started. Fortunately in Maryland, drones are allowed in all state parks. Sandy Point State Park is a great place for drone photography, with beautiful views of the Bay Bridge and the Chesapeake Bay.
Vector Drawing From the Masters
This is some vector practice, inspired by the Bauhaus artist, Anni Albers. A long time ago I took this course called “Drawing from the Masters.” It involved visiting area museums and attempting to copy paintings, and sketch statues. It was very useful, and I thought about bringing that approach into the present by taking this wonderfully simple bauhaus style doodle and converting it to vectors. As usually, wrestling with those bezier curves is always harder than it looks.
Low Fodmap Spinach Soufflé
I’ve been fooling around with a recipe for a spinach soufflé. It’s low fodmap (which means it’s IBS-friendly!) and it’s made with the Vitamix. I was trying to come up with something that tastes like Stouffers Spinach Soufflé. It is highly customizable. Read more
