Thank you for sharing your creative process! It is interesting. For me, the contrasting imagery of movement and stillness evokes a sense of longing, of appreciating the freedom of the bird in flight, yet at the same time desiring stability by having it perch nearby.

Random Story: A hummingbird flew a foot away from my face as I stood in my backyard one day. Such a majestic little fellow. And as we looked into each other's eyes, I realized that I was an orthinologist in another life. Haha! Happy Monday.

I have this dream of a site which looks very simple and text-based on the surface, but gets weirder as you go deeper. hyperlinks lead you to subpages which get more visual and experimental as you go...

Sounds good. On the surface you'd keep intact that disciplined and composed website look/content and online behavior that are actually praise worthy. But by providing hooks to rabbit holes that the curious ones/deviants among us actually crave to explore, things could really get... ahem... unexpected!

umhi 4 years ago

I've also been increasingly drawn toward the idea of simple 'boring' sites which become more immersive as you go, rather than the norm of sites which are immediately hyperstimulating... seems like a healthier web experience overall. Sort of related to both of your recent updates, but have you visited http://self-noise.net/? One of my favourite sites on the web, and I suspect you'll appreciate it too ;^)

I really like the urban forest page; it really nails down a peaceful and serene vibe... Kinda surprised to see non-peachy looking pages; are you about to go rogue with some more freestyle experiments? :D

you heard it here first, folks - I'm going rogue! haha thank you! I took that photo a couple weeks ago. I would love to experiment with different styles for more pages. it's about time for a little more visual interest!

Ahh... so nice :^) Thanks for sharing! Excited to see where this new rogue direction takes your pages hehe So nice when you have the basic framework & content in place and can just start playing around! I may be heading in a similar direction with some of my sites soon as well... but recently went a little too rogue and created a couple of pages which my browser can't handle x^D

You're so annoyingly... ahem, versatile! Don't you worry too much about that awkward nerdy look, the voice, the clothing, etc. You'd be pleasantly surprised about how attractive it actually is. Oh yes, loved the lyrics, singing, and the ukelele melody too! :D

I'm no english major, so I'll have to keep it simple stupid with more pedestrian terms... The extravagant facial expressions, the (overly emotional) voice, the accent... I love it I love it I love it!

that feel when you have hopes and dreams and goals for your site but instead find yourself adding "Just Like Heaven" to your film diary 🤷🏽‍♀️
