This is Cincinnati on Sunday, September 24th, 1848—162 years ago. The picture, a daguerreotype taken by Charles Fontayne and William Porter (who were standing on the other side of the Ohio River), is so fantastically sharp you can-with your mouse – step right onto the streets, onto the riverboats, peek through windows, explore rooftops as if you had slipped into the 1840’s with a pass key.

What a creative vision. This would be an excellent "project" anytime you're in the city - maybe each letter would be from a different city or you have a complete alphabet from each. Either way, cool inspiration!

Found on FFFFOUND. I never realized how creepy viewing an eyeball up-close like this would be... but it kind of reminds me of a deep oceanic sand ripples, coral or other plant life. Visit the link to view some more unique eyeballs.

Summary
I am a creative professional with a broad experience in graphic design and specialize in website design, presence and graphics.
Since November 2004, I have learned the art of brand management in all marketing forms for Swiftpage while working with a fantastic group of individuals. My main goal is to continue to push the company's creative limits and effectively maintain the usability of the website presence for customers, resellers and partners for years to come. In October 2008, I collaborated with upper management to implement a creative services division to develop and design marketing pieces at a marginal fee for Swiftpage customers. By managing this division from the start, it continues to be a successful endeavor by bringing in new revenue for both Swiftpage as well as the customer.

I bring my dedication to design, the creative process and expertise to those in need of the services through Bergen Studios.
