Avoidence of Perfection
Hi, I'm Larry McAllister II (AKA LARRYTRON). I am an artist, graphic designer, photographer and project manager/art director.
This is my scrap book of inspiration. I love visual culture. Everything from graphic design and typography, to tattoos, to graffiti, to photography... clothes, cars, architecture, nature... all of it is inspiring.
Some of the images contained here belong to me and are tagged as such, all other work is credited whenever possible or has active click-through links to get to the original posting.

Cluttered on Flickr.

Calvin and Hobbes |
Without question, one of the best comics of all time. This particular one speaks to me on a personal level (as most of them do).

“Why do people think artists are special? It’s Just another job.” -Andy Warhol |
Great statement, and I completely agree with the thoughts below.
All the artists I’ve known have been like everyone else, more or less - except for their ability to see ( artistic talent). Art collectors and the public however, seem to like their artists to be characters - larger than life stories, think van Gogh and Warhol. Success (read higher prices) is a result of talent and fame. Fame (press) can be had by winning awards - the slow hard way, or by marketing and/or flamboyant behavior. One could easily argue Warhol’s fame is due more to his ability to grab the spotlight rather than to his artistic talents.
Art is an odd business.

How do you feel about point and shoot cameras?
Lately I have found myself leaving my DSLR and Micro 4/3 cameras at home in favor of carrying a compact point and shoot with me. I personally feel that it is making me a better photographer by forcing me to think more about composition than what equipment is strapped to my camera. The compact nature has also helped me getting into the habit of shooting much more than I was before.
Out of my own curiosity, I was wondering how do other photographers feel about point and shoots?
