Christmas Eve

It was just another Christmas Eve Party at the Fadul household. I put my new flash umbrella to work, along with my Minolta 3600HS and Sigma EF-500DG Super flashes. Still trying new strobe tactics, but I'm generally pleased with how the photos came out (and equally displeased with how many times my exposure settings were off due to user error)! Merry Christmas everyone!

 

Ambigrams

A few years ago, my friend Kevin Finnegan introduced me to the art of ambigrams--texts or logos that may be read in more than one direction. If you hadn't noticed, my 'Phifa' webpage logo is such an ambigram. Shared below are a few others I've created since (for myself and Jania). To create them, I usually sketch 'em, scan 'em, and use Inkscape (a poor man's open source Adobe Illustrator) to convert them into vector graphics.

Phifa -- I was going to throw this one on a decal for my repainted bikes

Jania/Philip [upside-down] -- had some help with the design from Flipscript's auto amigram generator.
