Haircuts and more fun with "TiltShift" application (Blog Post)

I mentioned the tiltshift app before in my blog, they have an online version, an AIR application version and a iPhone version... here is some recent use.

I took my son in for a bi monthly hair cut at the awesome old school shop "Sweeny Todd's Barbershop" and had my camera at my side, it was about 4PM and the light was perfectly falling into the shop, so I asked Todd (the owner) if I could take some pics. Here is some of what I got...

The boy picks up a camera (Blog Post)

Jack started coming to the aquarium with me when he was 3. When he was 4 I started taking videos of the creatures for him to watch at home and I also started uploading them to Vimeo. You can imagine my joy watching him now just a month shy of his 7th birthday picking up his camera and starting to take his own videos.


Mashed In Plastic - The David Lynch Mashup Album (Blog Post)

A friend had mentioned this collection to me in passing a couple of weeks ago and I finally got around to checking it out last night, now I'm sad that I could have been enjoying this collection for 2 weeks already!

Truly inspired work of so many talented artists, you can download the entire album from the website, in either an album style "side a and side b" version or as individual tracks.

Do your self a favor and download this free, fantastic, toe tapin', haunting collection of mashups!

I also have sifted one of the fantastic videos for the track "The Elephant Connection" check it out!

 

Ropes, Tattoos and a woman (Blog Post)

One of my clients I edit/shoot for is part of the "adult" industry, they are a fetish company and their main rope man J.P. aka "The Pope" set out to do a photo shoot with some of his rope work and model Soma Snakeoil.

I wanted to capture/focus on him doing his thing. As you can imagine the majority of shoots are about the model, as they should be, and not about the guy setting it up. For me I was looking to shoot with just available light to see how well the camera and lens could do, I was very pleased with the result.

This video should be considered NSFW, as there is some nudity (artsy), but that is as adult as it gets. Enjoy.
