...or one of your favourites, if you happen to have a long list.

I think most of us have places that we know (at least on a purely rational level) we probably should steer clear of. But we go there anyway, either out of necessity, a false sence of immortality, or simply because we like (on a less rational level) to hang out in sketchy places.

So, in keeping with our Dangerously Cool theme, we'd like to hear about one of your Dangerous Places.

I'll lead off with one of mine (I have a few ):

I love to climb, but since I live near the Florida coast I am usually restricted to climbing buildings and trees. One of the closest big chunks of rock, and one of my favourites ever since first going there in the Army, is Mt. Yonah, located in North Georgia's Chattahoochee National Forest. At 3,143 ft., Yonah is by no means a terribly large or menacing mountain, but it's got some challenging features and the view from the top, especially in the wee hours of the morning under a bright moon, is worth the work to get there. Here's a link to a terrain view, if you are interested: [link]

Now let's hear about yours...

About ][ Dangerously Cool

Guns, blades, crazy people, fast vehicles, dangerous places; what else?

Whether you are an artist who has an interest in these things solely for the sake of your art or you are a nut who enjoys edgy stuff first hand, I wanted to let you know about a brand new project.

It's a news/lifestyle web journal and web-based video program (along with a community site) called 'Dangerously Cool' [link] and it deals only with stuff that fits that general description; weapons, fast vehicles, crazy people, training, places that your mom wouldn't want you to visit - you get the idea.

So far, it is a written web journal, but we are already in production on the new show.

The main difference between ][DC (as we call it, or just ][ ) and DS2 is that where DS2 is broader and promotes doing all sorts of interesting stuff, ][DC is very specifically focused on cool stuff with an edge.

Looking forward to seeing you over there, if you are so inclined. And I would love to hear your ideas for future posts and shows.

More soon. Be Well.
Jade

As of March 2008, the only stock photos I will produce will be requests. If you need something specific for a project, I'd love to hear your pitch. To clarify, I'm not looking for ideas (I've got plenty of those), I am interested in collaborating with serious artists who need specific images or references.
