Always on the move...I'm running behind with current events but I thought I would throw these images up on the blog even if they're a bit old... we'll see if I catch up with things. In the meantime, I was back on location with Seventy7 for One Reverse Mortgage. Henry Winkler was on set for day 1...cool guy, fun times. Maybe some image of Henry in the future, we'll see here... but I'm looking forward to working with Seventy7 again. Awesome production company. Always more to come...
There really are things to come...It's been busy times behind the desk of na/iu, I haven't had a chance to update things. So until I do, make sure you enjoy a sunset or two...
More next week...cheers.
A quick one from the archive...
The image originates from The Art Institute of Chicago... to quote a bit...
"Before September 11th became synonymous with terrorist attacks and religious intolerance, it was host to that event’s antithesis — the First World Parliament of Religions held in The Art Institute of Chicago’s Fullerton Hall on September 11, 1893. The parliament was an early attempt to create a global discussion of religious faiths, and Swami Vivekananda delivered an eloquent keynote address to an audience of over 7,000."
"Now, 118 years after his speech and nearly a decade after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Jitish Kallat reintroduces the public to Vivekananda’s words in “Public Notice 3,” an exhibition on display at The Art Institute of Chicago from September 11, 2010 through May 1, 2011."
Info about the image/installation can be found here.
Have a good one everybody!

Always on the move...I'm off to Detroit today to pick up some work from a selected show. I'm also going to stop by Signal-Return Press for a class in letterpress. Good times. The image from below is from my last trip. Not sure I'll have the time to make new images this time around but you never know...
More to come.
On the go...Things have been incredibly busy behind the desk of na/i.u. but I did want to throw some images up from some recent work. I was contacted by Marc Ruiz, Director of Seventy 7 Productions, to document some production work of their own. I thought I'd post some non-descript photos for fun here. It was an honor and a lot of fun to be a part of their crew for 3 days. They have tons of exciting things going on so make sure you stop by their site to check them out.
Always more to come...have a good weekend...
Show!I just wanted to mention really quickly that I’m part of a group show in Detroit at Art Effect Gallery (near East Market). I unfortunately cannot make it to the opening but if you’re in the area and have time, check it out! Lots of great work there. Have a good weekend!

This is great. Made me laugh on a Thursday...
Detroit!I was in Detroit yesterday (several posts about Detroit forthcoming) to drop off some images from the Quiet Men series that will be shown in the Art Effect Gallery. While around the East Market area I stumbled across an amazing print shop called Signal Return Press. I understand "amazing" is probably an overused term but I was really captivated with everything. They have a huge emphasis on education, getting art work seen and giving back to the community - all really wonderful aspects. As someone who knows only little about letterpress (but someday hopes to learn more) this is truly a great community. Anyway, I wanted to get some photos up on a busy Wednesday... take a look to the video below to get the full info on the press.
More to come from Detroit later...cheers.
I'm digging these Grand Rapids businesses...
So good to see a cycle shop on Monroe! And sure, full disclosure...yes, I understand being a vegetarian is at odds with liking the leatherwork, but I'm stoked about the handmade/Michigan made/small business aspect. I wish them both the best.
Have a good one today!
A quick one from the past...
A recent quick shot from Chicago...Also, I'm not too sure about the post processing with this one, but oh well...more to come...
...looking forward to seeing the walker boys this weekend.
Happy Friday, have a good one, be safe out there.
Thanks Everyone!
After a long absence on the blog...I'm back.It's been busy around the desk but I'm clearing away some of the clutter and getting back down to business. New posts to come... Until then, check out some hugely inspirational videos by Rapha (yes, I realize the last post had Rapha in it too, but such is life). More to come...be safe out there, have a good weekend.
A few photographs from my SPE walk about in SF!
Always dream.Let's make a better future together. Thank you Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Always working...
Happy Friday, eat well, drink well, and enjoy. More to come...
I find this funny on a Tuesday morning...
Anyway, always more to come...

After awhile in the darkroom I felt compelled to make something the "wrong way" for fun.
Have a good weekend...
Officially there's another trip planned...details on the poster and on the GVSU photo blog
Always more to come...
Normally I don't look towards products for "inspiration" but recently I was on a quest for non-plastic, eco friendly water bottle. I was using an old Voss water bottle (because of it's glass construction, I think they are all plastic now) but it felt extremely vulnerable to a knock that would cause it to break in my bag. Now, nothing is impervious to the unthinkable (broken h2o bottle in the bag) but I wanted to get close. My internet search yielded several glass options but none seemed to protect the bottle (and yes, going plastic like Kor was another option but I was really bent on glass). However, after a little searching I came across the bamboo bottle co..
Apparently released in 2010, there's some chatter out there about the bottle...it's too heavy, too hard to screw the lid on, if you don't put the lid on and turn it upside down after you fill it you won't know if it leaks, too big for a cup holder...ect. I see those things as a non-issue. I think I'll be able to get the lid on in such a way I can get it not to leak. I guess time will tell there.
As of now, it seems to be the perfect solution. The renewable bamboo shell protects the recyclable, removable glass insert. That's what I wanted. Glass. It's not for cold, hot, or beverages other than water, so I feel I don't have to worry about bottle condensation. I will agree, it's a bit bigger but not obnoxiously big. It's actually a bit smaller than the Voss bottle I was using. And that was the goal for me, replace the Voss bottle while gaining a glass bottle that was protected from the occasional knock.
And this feels like the bottle. I realize I've had it for about less than 48 hours but thus far I'm really pleased with it. I can't help but look at it and wonder where we'll go next (if I can be so facetious as giving the bottle a persona). Check out the site for more details if you're thinking about a new bottle. I should probably state I'm not being paid to endorse this or market the bottle in anyway, I simply felt compelled to share. And it's Friday, so we need something fun to talk about.
Have a good weekend. Be safe out there.
