—Over the last year, I've been working with Elias Carlson, who runs awesome blog, Ladder to the Stars. Early on, we found that exploring nature was a common thread in our photography. We discussed our need to get outside and take photos, and we decided to make a publication about it.
We knew that we wanted to publish a collaborative book featuring photographers that we both respected and that shared this common theme. We worked on the idea of the "need" to get outdoors and found a definition that we felt summed up this idea; "PANACEA" which is defined as "a solution or remedy for all difficulties or diseases." The ring to it was nice, but the definition really hit home for us, as it summed up the feeling that we both had: Exploring nature as a cure.

—Also, want to say thank you to anyone who visits, supports, or submits to BIT BY ZEUS. for real. Running this photo zine/blog is a blast; sharing good photos, putting out projects when we can, and meeting great photographers along the way. In the New Year, we plan on keeping this little photo community going. I want to continue to put up more found photography, try to blog (use words), document events and things in the area, and also focus on publishing my and other's work. That's all, hope to see you on the 1st, It's gonna be a great night out.—Tim

The First annual Little Big Draw is happening this wednesday at MUA in Oakland. Little Big Draw is a live art event in the same vein as sketch Tuesdays; watch some live art, hang out, and take home some affordable artwork. A few friends and I will have some photos in the art show coinciding with this event. Swing by! —Tim
The THIRD annual BIT BY ZEUS Halloween mixtape. The 666kb upload size lets me know it's ready to go. Happy Halloween.
Photographer Byron Wolfe just released the digital version of his award winning book, "Everyday". This book has important significance to me, not only because he was my photography professor, but because the book is a great example of a well thought out and well executed photography project; Something much easier said than done. "Everyday," has been a great guide to me, when thinking about how to make an interesting photo. Absolutely go check it out, it's $3.99. —Tim
"To conclude, I've seen photographers do similiar projects as Byron, but rarely with as good results. He's personal, open to new ideas, and as creative and inventive as one can be every day. Add to that the fact that this diaristic body of work was finished almost 10 years ago, when digital was still in its cradle."
