Dabbling into product photography

I've always wanted to be able to photograph my design prototypes properly and do them justice.  A few weeks ago I found the time to do some more detailed investigation into product photography.

On exchange in Deutschland

So as my friends will know, I'll be spending this semester away from lovely RISD in Cologne, Germany studying at the Koln International School of Design (KISD? I thought that was hilarious).  So, here are some pictures of this place and how I got here.

A stopover at Zurich Airport.  By far one of the nicest airports I've ever seen. 

I love the Swiss colors.




Managed to snap a picture of this very Euro looking guy.

Cool roof of the train station at Frankfurt airport.

The inner mechanism is revealed.  I thought it was quite cool to watch.





Smart car! There are loads of these here!

New school year, new portfolio, new blog

Finally, here I am.  I've been meaning to do this for awhile.  I'm an industrial design student studying at RISD.  I've made a few blogs and a few versions of a portfolio website before, but this time I'm determined to do it right.  The blogs before I barely ever updated,  possibly due to how ugly I feel they looked.  The portfolio sites, while adequate, were nothing special either.  So this school year (my last), I am resolved to have an active blog about my work and a portfolio that will do it justice.  Here is my first step.

You will not believe how many names for this blog I had to go through before deciding upon this one.  I didn't want to just use my name because that serves as a pretty dull title.  Every time I thought of a good title and checked it on blogger, someone had already made a blog with that name with ONE post back in like 2002 or something about their dog.  I'm not web design savvy enough to design and host my own blog so I am stuck with using blogger....Wordpress was an option too but the themes were too complex looking and not customizable enough.

So after a few hours of trying to make this blogger blog look half decent and not totally visually convoluted, here I am.  Hope it looks decent, and I will be posting very soon about my work, my musings, and various semi design related happenings in my life.

Until then, here's a picture of me:
