Recycled Business Card Holder!

So some of you may know that my other business is making lamps out of recycled bicycle parts. I had been trying to think of some new projects for awhile to expand the recycled bike art side of the house and needed a new business card holder for my Amante Coffee exhibit.  Well, the two ideas came together and low and behold I came up with my new recycled business card holder!  I used an old cog from a Shimano bicycle cassette and a bit of spare hardware to fasten it altogether.  Stylish, recycled, sustainable, functional and dead sexy all at the same time!

I will probably have these for sale pretty soon over at Treeline Designs, but for now a nice picture of the prototype.

Amante Coffee Opening [art show]

If you happen to be in Boulder this Friday, April 2nd @ 6pm - please come downtown and visit at Amante Coffee. I will have work on display for the month of April and Amante is hosting an opening Friday evening. I will have various works from some of my European travel up for viewing. Cheers!

Home page version 3.2'ish

Good news!  The 'new' site is up and running!  Ok, so I guessed on the '3.2' version in the blog title, because I have changed it here and there and really have lost count.  But who cares, the site looks great!  So hop on over and check it out! And of course, what kind of photographer would I be if I didn't include a photo in this post?!  A fun montage of our cat Yeti taking part in what he considers 'drinking' his water.

Flickr!

So I have finally joined the ranks of the Flickr crowd [I know I am slow on this one!].  I am learning it is quite a fun and useful tool as well as finding some fantastic photographers out there.  If you are a Flickr user, please feel free to follow along and see what I come up with next.  You can find me at http://www.flickr.com/photos/nl_photo/

my Flickr map

I am also a big fan of the map feature, which shows where photos have been taken!  My map is getting more dots all the time so keep checking back.  Cheers!
