Sean is a designer living in Tempe, AZ
In the past 30 years, I’ve lived in Memphis, Holland, Winnipeg, Pittsburgh, Clarion and Phoenix. The one constant for me, and where I think of when I think of home is Red Rock Lake, located an hour and a half outside of Winnipeg, MB, Canada. I’ve been going to Red Rock nearly every summer of [...]
I first heard of the 30 Days of Creativity project via @dotguy on Twitter. The premise is to create something, anything, for 30 days in a row. The project began June 1, 2010 the same day I read @dotguy’s tweet. With little time to prepare I decided to focus the project around photography and work. [...]

Light painting is a type of photography where you leave the shutter open and use a flash light to draw in the dark. Here is my first attempt. I left the shutter open for 20 seconds in manual mode at f5.3.
Inspired by some fantastic time lapse photography work by Dan Chung and Peter Berlanger I decided to read up and give it a shot. I stumbled upon two great tutorials by Zach Wise and Timothy Allen which provided me with enough of a base to produce the following short clip. Photos were shot from a [...]
Check out the new photos page at seanhobson.com! For the past year or so I have adopted photography as a hobby. I have always been interested in capturing moments but until recently haven’t had the motivation or proper equipment to produce quality work. My most recent shots can always be found on Flickr, but for [...]
Teresa and I happened upon the new Microsoft store opening in Fashion Square Mall on our way to a friends house for dinner. Normally I wouldn’t write about something like this but because the opening of the store has received national headlines I thought I would take and post some pictures. Further motivation is that [...]
I returned last week from a six day trip to San Francisco. The primary goal was to attend a conference on Emerging Technology Application hosted by Sloan-C.
