a photo a day : 21/365 | blind eye

by Ryan on January 22, 2010

What if you only saw the world through one eye? I do.

I was 16 years old and I went to the DMV to get my license.  I stepped up to the counter, filled out my paperwork, and submitted for an eye test.  The lovely old lady asked me to put my eyes into the goggles [...]

Do you truly value/appreciate where you live in the world?
We have so many people talking about workshifting and jetsetting and living the untemplate lifestyle, but I find that truly appreciating where you live in this moment is overlooked for the next stop on our world tour.
If you are always looking to the future, you’ll [...]

a photo a day : 7/365 | icicles galore

by Ryan on January 8, 2010

Every time I see an icicle I immediately think of ‘A Christmas Story’ when Ralphie tells the story of an icicle falling on his glasses when he shot his eye out.
‘Those things have been known to kill people.” -Ralphie’s mom

a photo a day : 3/365 | life unorganized

by Ryan on January 3, 2010

I work in soccer, as if that is a big surprise to anyone.  As my life is dominated by everything that has to do with the beautiful game, my office reflects that on a daily basis.  Often it is filled with balls, bags, hopefully washed jerseys and loads of great footy books, just to name [...]

a photo a day : 1/365 | Lucas Smiles

by Ryan on January 1, 2010

I dislike making New Years Resolutions, but one of the items I want to improve in 2010 is my creativity.  Better said, I need to set a time in everyday to be creative and to force myself to think in a different way.
I had heard of photographers like Christa Wilson do projects where they take [...]

by Ryan on December 2, 2009

What is the difference between a signature and an autograph?
Signatures sign,while autographs inspire.
William Shakespeare put his pants on one leg at a time, but his signature is worth a reported $3 million dollars, if ever sold.  This is due to scarcity as well, but man that is some power.
The autograph is a prized possession for [...]

Soccer For Social Change: The Fugees Family

by Ryan on November 18, 2009

What do these words have in common?: Soccer, football, fútbol (Spanish), كرة القدم (Arabic), ফুটবল (Bengali)
They all describe what millions call The Beautiful Game.
But why do millions upon millions of people around refer to a game which seems so simple, as so beautiful?  Is it the passing?  The highlight of a well placed free [...]

A Light Bulb Moment

by Ryan on October 29, 2009

Since I’ve started to work with Keith Burtis a few weeks ago, I’ve talked to more people about Social Media than I could have ever dreamed of.  More importantly for me, a majority of them are people who have never been on Facebook, or do not have a clue about twitter.
There is a trend I [...]
