Bits and Pieces left over from the first batch of images:

I am always surprised when people like images that I don’t consider that great.

When I die I hope people look into all my images to release images randomly…. kinda like 2Pac.

Tonight my buddy Alan and I decided that he would teach me how to properly cook steak. If you have heard me rambling on or seen me pacing in the meat aisle… it’s because I have been wanting to cook steak for so long. I took the passenger seat this time around and let Alan take the wheel. We cooked steak, potatoes and green beans.

Dilema.

I am hungry and I also want to do some recording… I ended up filming dinner. This is the kind of compromise I can deal with.

Video Notes:

White balance is off for a bit of it, probably causing the food to look mutant. I shot the video of course with my Nikon D5000 and a 60mm f/2.8 macro lens. I used my $15 dollar ebay gorilla pod for the first time. It all worked quite well All videos are untouched.

I have never written a camera review before but I am going to give it a shot. Why? because the Nikon D5000 really did nothing other than continue to surprise me. I am going to say that my very first camera was a Nikon D50. I will talk comparison between that camera and my current D700 which is similar to the D300 / D300s. (more…)

So I have been struggling with quite a few things in life lately so it took me a lot longer than expected. I recorded this on the trolley awhile ago and have finally gotten around to editing it. I almost scrapped the project entirely a few times because I lost hope. I  just had to remember that I am not proud of the first images I ever took so it will be the same for video for quite some time. I guess this gives me a reason to grow.

All Videos are on YouTube in HD

I could not decide between black / white and color. So here are both.

Video Notes:

I have nothing but empathy for those who stride to create videos, those who are create just for themselves and don’t care about what other people think of their work. When it came down to it and why it took so long I was just embarrassed of this project because I smelled failure before I even started to edit. I used Final Cut Pro for everything. No editing to the actual clips besides making the clips B/W and opacity on a clip or two.

My heart goes out to those who create for themselves.
