A portion of these will be photographs. Through this series I realized the lack of subject extraction in my photos. Literally ripping items, taking prunings, pulling books, plucking insects, and placing them on a white background. I found that this uniform approach to looking at the world helped me appreciate the essence of the things we so quickly consume. If I could eat the way I see, I would eat so little and write volumes on the trace amounts consumed. </div>

Black raspberries harvest quickly in my garden, and the blackberries take their sweet time. Flavor-wise the blackberry wins as it tastes more like wine than fruit.</div>

These are all coffee beans roasted for different lengths of time. The left-most bean is a unroasted green coffee bean. The right-most bean is a coffee roasted to what most roasters would call a french roast. I took up this hobby after a friend of a friend (from Eugene, OR) told me he roasted coffee beans with a bowl and a blow torch. Up to this point, my wife and I had done tons of research to find the best coffee roasting machine. It turns out we already had the means to roast, we just needed to get inexpensive green beans (sweetmarias.com) and put in 45 minutes a week to have the fresh french press coffee and slammin' espresso shots. We used to spend about 16 cents a cup buying roasted whole beans. Now we spend about 8 cents a cup and I've read green beans can be stored for 6 months. </div>

This is an oldie but goody from a few years ago. I was unemployed and had tons of time. So I naturally started taking pictures of reflected light. The best results came from water filled wine glasses. I did some processing on the computer for color and to bring out the more ghostly shapes.<br />

After putting up 20 or so older (more seasoned) and newer photographs, I decided to change things up a bit. I got some lights, set up an ad hoc light table and took the
more colorful bits of nature out of context. <br><br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuoCUWIZoWFODL9PrTjb1pX19p1wzFSCdPFTfKLt9jkTDdJfNiLfz8n6LQ7szGoF_bE5dgQjTqJiTTJPg_tQs_1zhkUt4-1F5LqaNVcj7vm-gjsdI4-5UrylQp6qB49AUN4rkwuJmcLe16/s1600/wildflowerstringbug_s6_4e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="266" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuoCUWIZoWFODL9PrTjb1pX19p1wzFSCdPFTfKLt9jkTDdJfNiLfz8n6LQ7szGoF_bE5dgQjTqJiTTJPg_tQs_1zhkUt4-1F5LqaNVcj7vm-gjsdI4-5UrylQp6qB49AUN4rkwuJmcLe16/s400/wildflowerstringbug_s6_4e.jpg" /></a></div>
I found that leaving this in nature before the picture was nice, but I hadn't really
been working my composition muscles. Having a flower in front of me, without the support of it's native stem, sunlight, or in the chorus of growing things forced
me to see what this little object was made of. I turned the subject. Took pics from above and below. I eventually found that there were specific striking angles,
that really caught my eye. Even dropping the photograph's colors helped focus
in on that unique geometry. <br><br>

I posted several images on etsy, and they were able to cluster together
other hand crafted items that paired well. <br><br>

I was so gitty! Anything and everything in my house ended up in front of my camera. Old books, oregano sticks left over from my garden. It seemed so much was interesting when I focused on the little things that made the subject stand out.<br><br>

An etsy collection or treasury is just a 4x4 grid where an etsy user curates all of etsy products and picks the best ones that fit well together. To see these treasuries and see the new context in which my photography could be placed brings me an immense amount of satisfaction.<br><br>

This photograph is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/104485132/billings-farm-sunrise-at-woodstock">for sale</a> and was taken while driving south on Rt 91 to Brattleboro, VT during a sunrise.
This past weekend, I got to sleep twice in my minivan, got less than 5 hrs of sleep 3 days in a row, and spent the weekend driving around and photographing Vermont with my son, bro, and sis. Seeing mountain ranges that span so far you have to turn your head, and literally being so far out cell phones are useless has to be the most exhilarating experience.
There was as much in the grand views, as the simple fragile landscapes with red rotting barns in the valley of green mountains that summons rivers to parade to the sea. Witnessing how expansive the rivers are and how far they span, is truly remarkable. Even a relitively dry river ways create rocky open caverns to show evidence of it's power during the spring. Driving across narrow roads placed on dams, and be scared is such a great thing.
The Brattleborough's farmer's market brought out the best artists in all arenas (bakery, soap making, farmers, jewelry makers...) and have musicians playing an instrument in the square then seeing the same musicians play different instruments downtown in the same day.
We secured unfrozen meats and seafood from the local butcher and fishmonger, and tossed them on a fiery grill. I've never been so fascinated by the sound of sizzling meat! The flame did most of the work, we just sat and watched the show. My taste buds were handing out first place ribbons to the wild salmon + hanger steak!
These experiences can't be found in a book, on the web, or within 4 walls. They can only be found in the wild.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Ruben Brito's photo from http://sqwair.blogspot.com</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00722338563269875840noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573870460240347141.post-68356097596392978032012-03-08T12:05:00.002-05:002012-03-08T13:44:41.902-05:00We're Back!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've started up a store so these pics and all that are to come will be available in several forms. Even as iphone skins!
(<a href="http://society6.com/RubenBrito">Sqwair store</a>) I'll make a store link on the blog so when this post rolls off into the sunset, you'll still have a quick way to shop.
Here are two of the latest pics. I seem to be finding more time lately. : )<div class="blogger-post-footer">Ruben Brito's photo from http://sqwair.blogspot.com</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00722338563269875840noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573870460240347141.post-37223674892751325562012-02-28T21:49:00.000-05:002012-02-29T00:56:00.946-05:00Update since 2010It has been a while since I've posted here. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback and I've set in motion an account that will help put up some of the best pics from this blog for sale. I hope to return to shooting photo's just for the sake of it, but I need to exhaust other passions first.
I've recently designed and started selling a hybrid animal called Hammerander (Hammerhead Shark + Salamander). Got to use my Nikon for this and it was fun!!

It has been a weird two years (time since my last post). I've had a beautiful daughter, watched my son grow into an age where I still have childhood memories, and now I've been able to spend more time with my wife at music shows. It is a new normal as I've been told and I'm still learning to embrace and appreciate it.
<br><br>
During that time I also got involved with <a href="http://www.quirky.com/?r=7c36078a620e27dc83cec7b977dc1830">quirky.com</a>, which is a community driven product development company. They've released all sorts of products like <a href="http://www.quirky.com/products/44-Pivot-Power-Flexible-Power-Strip?r=7c36078a620e27dc83cec7b977dc1830">flexible outlets</a>, <a href="http://www.quirky.com/products/58-Shower-Station-Modular-Shower-Caddy?r=7c36078a620e27dc83cec7b977dc1830">A Shower Station</a>, <a href="http://www.quirky.com/products/72-Thor-Ice-Scraper?r=7c36078a620e27dc83cec7b977dc1830">ice scrapers</a>, <a href="http://www.quirky.com/products/77-Mantis-Clip-On-Task-Lamp?r=7c36078a620e27dc83cec7b977dc1830">funky praying mantis shaped lights</a>, <a href="http://www.quirky.com/products/133-SOLO-Collapsible-Hanger?r=7c36078a620e27dc83cec7b977dc1830">crazy hangers</a>, <a href="http://www.quirky.com/products/113-Converge-Docking-Station?r=7c36078a620e27dc83cec7b977dc1830">gadget docking trays</a>,<a href=" http://www.quirky.com/products/105-Bandits-Rubber-Band-Hooks?r=7c36078a620e27dc83cec7b977dc1830">Bandits</a>, <a href="http://www.quirky.com/products/74-Verseur-Multi-Function-Wine-Opener?r=7c36078a620e27dc83cec7b977dc1830">wine corkers</a>, <a href="http://www.quirky.com/products/69-Grip-Grater-Cheese-Grater?r=7c36078a620e27dc83cec7b977dc1830">food graters</a>, <a href="http://www.quirky.com/products/122-Tether-Stemware-Saver?r=7c36078a620e27dc83cec7b977dc1830">wine glass accessories</a>, and <a href="http://www.quirky.com/shop">much more</a>. They've moved into Target and will be selling from there in all Target stores by the end of their summer.
I was fortunate to win a few rounds (and earn extra royalties), which made me really think about how I could use the money and where I wanted to apply my energy.
I had been using Google Sketchup and Maxwell Render to make product submissions for quirky.com + edisonnation.com and ended up doing around 25 concept renders the latter half of 2011 into this month. On the side, I entered a makerbot contest to design a monster inside a small build space 100mm x 100mm x 120mm and I was up for the challenge. Entering this space was a lot more challenging than a concept render. Actually designing something to be made on a 3d printer meant the design had to be perfect. No holes, and geometry facing the right way.
Here are some submissions I entered:

This process of staring at a blank computer screen and trying to come up with monsters helped me realize a couple of things. I have a lot to learn when it comes to making a monster, and I needed to explore one particular design a bit more.
Enter Hammerander. I made some friends with some successful members of quirky.com and a subset got together to be an informal advisory board. Bring and idea and leave with solid feedback. I brought the idea of a hybrid animal and they gave it their full support. I even got a name out of one of the members, which is so cool. When you are so close to an idea that needs a lot of work, it is extremely difficult to think of everything that needs to be done. Which is why communities are so important. Especially those who help shove you in the right direction.
<br><br>
I have also been reading Seth Godin's blogs and books (We Are All Weird, and Poke The Box). And I've read Tim Ferriss' 4 hour workweek and 4 hour body books. Both have really taught me tons of new approaches to business and life that I had never heard of. I see this time now as a lab to experiment in the techniques they've suggested.
I'll be continuing the Hammerander story at this <a href="http://hammerander.blogspot.com/">blog</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Ruben Brito's photo from http://sqwair.blogspot.com</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00722338563269875840noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573870460240347141.post-24423564967104720362010-10-13T08:26:00.000-04:002012-08-22T11:13:22.662-04:00Trunk<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My old Canon 300d is on it's way out, and I've been heavily using my compact Nikon and my camera phone for my other blogs (especially sprout30d.blogspot.com). It is sad because the camera really helped me learn the manual mode and figure out how to take good pictures so I didn't have to spend too much time with post-processing.<br />
<br />
The main camera I'm looking at is Nikon D5000. Mainly because it has the tilt and swivel lcd lens. The other thing I've noticed when using Nikon's is that they produce beautiful low light, hi ISO pictures and focus really fast. <br />
<br />
We have a new child coming into the house and I want to have gear in tip top shape just like I did for my son.<br />
<br />
Here are some links that I'm looking at to research my next SLR.<br />

<br />
After my 6 or 7 years of using an SLR I am definitely getting 2 high speed SDHC cards from samsung, an extra battery, a remote, macro lenses, a hood, and a telephoto zoom lens. On Amazon I am seeing all of this adding up to around 740 bucks with free shipping. During the week I'll be shopping around to see if I can snag a better deal.<br />

Check out my new blog <a href="http://sprout30d.blogspot.com/">sprout30d.blogspot.com/</a>. I've been reading about gardening and was advised to make a journal of the events that happen in my garden... so I could be a better gardener. The blog will have photos + little posts on different purchases and things related to my garden and yard. Twitter posts will be relayed here as well.<br />
<br />
So take a look already! <a href="http://sprout30d.blogspot.com/">sprout30d.blogspot.com/</a> !<br />
<br />
Peace,<br />
