Creative & Technical Services

.........................................................

So what exactly are creative and technical services, one might ask? I assist others in implementing their ideas. I also assist others in defining their concepts. I work in all aspects of creativity, from drawing out schematics/diagrams/charts/etc to better visualize the various components, to doing the research and development to ensure the technique or concept being explored will function as desired. I can do either the preliminary layout and construction, or work through the whole project until the end. I determine data models, logic, relationships, and create processes to put these all together. I’ve done a bit of this in web site / web application development, custom script writing, and creative technique design.

As you browse my site, you’ll see plenty of examples in still and time-lapse photography (with more cinematography to come). Essentially, I decide/determine/feel what I want to do — whether through inspiration or creatively taking an idea to the next level — and then figure out how to do it. With experience and perseverance, I’ve been able to research and create techniques and concepts that have previously not existed, with little to no information out there related to the various aspects involved. A lot of the world has caught up over time — for example, many of the photographic techniques I explored several years to a decade ago took a decent amount of research to figure out. After taking a short break from photography and coming back to it in the last 2-3 years, I see an abundant amount of information (and products) available online to assist others in exploring the same or similar techniques. I seem to be able to perceive what is coming in the future before it happens, and naturally use this foresight in exploring creative endeavors. I enjoy the ability to be ahead of my time and unique, though others don’t always understand where I’m coming from [perhaps as it's really more of where I'm heading to].

Anyhow, before I ramble off on tangents, the basic point is to explore my website and journal, as you will find a wide variety of concepts and learn a bit about my perspective and (some of) what I can do. As an archive of creative and technical explorations of the past, my whole website exists to help others better understand the creative process, and offer examples and inspiration for future projects. Individual past images, videos, writings, etc are also available for purchase for display as art, or usage in either collaborative efforts or for specific projects. As you explore the site, you’ll also see that I can write, both creatively and technically [sometimes both at once].

So ideally what would I like to do? Hire me as a creative consultant or creative director for your project or organization. I work best when I have complete creative freedom to express my ideas. I understand that you will have general concepts, with some specific ideas to explore, though it’s best to avoid too many specifics as this greatly limits the potential for full creative expression/exploration of the concepts (and will most likely increase the time it takes to come up with as powerful/impactful a creation/result).

A great part of the creative and technical process is inspiration. To be inspired invokes a greater creative power where all great ideas come from. I help others find that inspiration within so that they may feel inspired to create that which they desire. I offer consulting, coaching, and guidance to help you broaden your perspective so you can feel inspired, and to help you implement your ideas, projects, and businesses until/while/after you do.

So perhaps this doesn’t all make sense and you still have no clue as to what I do. Look at / read / watch / feel what I’ve done — pay attention to how you feel about my work and use that to get a better sense of what I’ve done and what I can do for you. The creative process is not always linear or logical, and I am attempting to explain it with mere words. Yes, one thing often leads to another, yet we may not realize exactly how or why along the way. In retrospect, the answer becomes much clearer and one can see why certain things had to occur as they did in order to get to where they are now. Yet, the process can be twisting and turning, a voyage through the unknown. That’s where I step in — to be a guide in your voyage, your own journey to your particular destination/goal/project/endeavour.
