A Milk Chocolate Faith
I have been reading a lot about the “Chocolate Jesus” saga the last few days. As an artist and as a pastor I guess this hits on both sides of the coin for me.
“My Sweet Lord” a sculpture by Cosimo Cavallaro has caused quite the controversy. It is a nude sculpture of the crucifixion of Christ. A tenet of the Christian faith.
In recent years Easter has become commercialized about the candy, pink and yellow flowers, hiding eggs and colorful baskets. The fact that the sculpture has even been created is a slam on the so-called …read more
Flint Find

I found this large piece of flint the other day here locally. I guess somehow it inspired me. Here in central Ohio, I live close enough to Flint Ridge. Native Americans often came to this area to find flint that they could use for making tools to carve wood, stone and hunt with. I am not sure yet what I want to do with it, but the thought has crossed my mind to try to carve wood or stone the old fashioned way. With Flint.

A thousand sketches in one year on a Tablet PC by Walter Logeman
I’ve been watching Walter’s site for the last month or so and have been really impressed. In fact, it’s made me want a tablet pc.
It’s a project to create 1000 sketches in a year on a tablet pc. So far, he’s at 404. Pretty good if you ask me. His subjects range far and wide between everything from architecture to horses to abstract.
Well worth a visit. It’s an ambitious project.
Featured Artist: Roman Gumanyuk

Roman has a ethereal quality to his work which depicts a very solitary and peaceful nature.
Thanks for your submissions Roman.
Here’s a brief biography from his site:
Roman Gumanyuk was born in Bishkek in 3 July 1985. He has begun …read more

Currently accepting recommendations… (an open-source conversation)
…for a digital camera.
It’s not often that I actually ask for advice. I probably should do it more often.
My old Sony f717 is dead I think. Everything I take a picture of has weird off colors. Usually a purple tint to the background if I use the flash, green if I don’t. Florescent either way. If anyone knows an easy fix for this, don’t tell it to me. (I want a new camera anyway)
I have been looking around Darren’s Digital Photography School blog and well, there are a lot of really good cameras.
I am leaning toward the Nikon d80.
But here’s …read more
