The Nadav Havakook Experience
That’s Nadav Havakook; he’s a creative guy. His passions…music and photography.
Nadav expresses his music talents as a DJ in New York nightclubs and other venues as he travels the world. You might even catch him performing at Burning Man, the free form art fest that “happens” each year in the Nevada desert.
“I love it when people dance to my music and I get the rush when the energy is high and its because of a song I just played.”
The need to ramp up his music skills has now driven Nadav to start producing of his own music, “…i enjoy it very much, it’s a long process and there is much to learn but its great reading about it and getting more knowledgeable.” Nadav’s no stranger to this kind of learning challenge as he taught himself photography. If his success in that discipline is any indication, we could be in for a treat once he starts sharing his new music creations.
As a self taught photographer Nadav discovered his personal preference for “…capturing images of urbanscapes such as old buildings, architecture, interior design, and environmental portraits.” A quick look at his portfolio verifies his preferences. Everyday people places and things are rendered as creative images of color, texture and design. If you look at enough of his work you will begin to feel like you know the guy. He’s really good at self-portraits and self-photographed group shots too.
So here’s a great way to appreciate this work, have the Nadav Havakook Experience, here’s how it works. Go to www.djnadav.com his DJ site and pick some music and let it play. Then, while the music plays, visit Nadav’s photo site www.nadavhavakook.com and browse through his photo’s, it’s an enriching experience and it might even inspire you on to your own creative expression.
The T-Shirt Review-Comments on the Aspire shirt from Altmantees
Rude Retro of The T-Shirt Review posts some comments about the Aspire t-shirt from altmantees.com. Rude can’t quite make out what the design is about, but says “So if you are sick of your college humor tees and you want something a bit more stylish you should definitely check out Altman tees. The T-Shirt Review is a great blog, thanks for your post Rude.
There’s Something Fascinating about Chairs
For some reason I like to photograph chairs. Chairs have an anthropomorphic quality to them. Chairs also exude their own character and personality. I have a friend who runs the Chair Academy. My mom was into chairs too, that’s probably where this all started. Anyway it’s fun (for me) to see the different styles of chairs people select and how they are placed in different environments.

Orlando Magic 2Subtle?
This is the original photo taken in my hotel room during a recent trip to Orlando and posted on this blog. When the image was first posted I modified it to add to the surreal nature of the image. It has been brought to my attention that the manipulation was too subtle (fine or delicate in meaning or intent; difficult to perceive or understand). Interesting point. This is something I deal with often. So does a person building a creative expression need to consider the audience and adjust the work accordingly, or not? As a person who dabbles in fearless expression, do you care if anyone “gets” your work?

We all have choices about how we spend our time. With all the fun that can be had with our phones, mp3 players and future ipads it might seem hard to image why anyone would want to carry around a sketchbook. For the most part the tech devices are used to consume content. A sketchbook on the other hand is an open invitation for creative expression. So think about balancing your content consumption with some content creation.
Check out the sites listed for some sketchbook inspiration. Artists’ Sketchbook Online (pictured above) is filled with a wide variety of creative work. The site navigation is a little confusing, but if you scroll down when you reach the site you will see sketchbook examples.
In the future… a post about digital sketchbooks. Later ra
