Looks like IKEA has replaced Futura (its own IKEA sans, a version of Futura) with Verdana.  Granted, the simple font by Microsoft was made to be readable on-screen, it just makes the new 2010 catalogue look cheap.  I mean, IKEA furniture is cheap enough already, but do they have to scream “cheap” with their font too?  Makes me sad. And cringe when I flip through the catalogue.

One day, when I’ve built up my skill set on basic typography maybe I’ll do this.  Probably to a less depressing song though.

An inspirational post by AntsMagazine of really neat typography and its use in various places.  Gives me the tingles just looking at them.

A collection of reflection photos from Light Stalking.  These have re-inspired me to become a better and more artistic photographer.

Another candid of Z.  I love this shot.  I just need to find time to take that shadow of my elbow out.

I just happen to take this candid. I know the lighting is a bit bright, but otherwise I’m pretty proud of this shot.
