Cirkumfleks Magazine

I came across Ed Safin on Behance which is a place where professional artists can post work and link up with other professionals. In this day artists need to be looking at everybody’s work and I mean globally.

I already know that the rest of the world is doing this but for some reason we think we are the end all be all. I have been tired of an American perspective for awhile and am thankful that Behance has help me find creatives around the world who I can get to know.

Ed Safin is in Norway and has a Magazine called Cikcumfleks. It show cases what artists are doing in many mediums.

I had no idea what a Cirkumflek was. Below is the definition.

• In Norwegian, it generally marks the former presence of the letter ð in the spelling of the word – for example, fôr (foðr), vêr (veðr). The ð was replaced by an ordinary d before it disappeared.

This is a subject that I have photographed for six years.

Well, I haven’t really photographed him but his environment and the people in it.

His life is all over my portfolio and has been a great friend to me.

Motivation

Just came across an article about motivation and getting things done.

It is very important to remember what motivation is and how important the payoff is. If you’re patient.

“Motivation is literally the desire to do things. It’s the difference between waking up before dawn to pound the pavement and lazing around the house all day. It’s the crucial element in setting and attaining goals—and research shows you can influence your own levels of motivation and self-control. So figure out what you want, power through the pain period, and start being who you want to be.”  more at Psychology Today  here
