This short film that's only 2 minutes take you through some beautiful landscapes that can put you in a place of sublime. What I like most about this film is the images and the tone and colors that the film is generating. This film was done by cinematographer Kevin Otterness from Posthousepictures.com. The director stated that film was entirely shot on a Canon 7D at 11,990Ft. He also said that the Canon 7D held up to the extreme conditions. So it seems to be a very stable camera.

When I was at Bonnaroo they had a workshop in which you could make your own instrument. So within an hour I had completed making my own musical instrument. Which I thought was pretty cool. So when I found this video of Diego Stocco and his Bassoforte I had to share it with you the reader. There is nothing like making an instrument to get your creativity moving.
To create his instrument Diego dismantled parts of a piano he had in his garden and also used some other parts that he had laying around his home and generated the Bassoforte (bass + pianoforte). He states that the neck is from a broken electric bass, as a bridge he used a cabinet handle, the pickups are from a guitar, and the part at the top where the strings are attached is a chimney cap, which works as resonator as well as percussive sound.
I came across Ben Heine who is a Belgian painter, illustrator, portraitist, caricaturist and photographer. Will just call him a man with many artistic abilities. In his collection Pencil vs. Camera I was enjoying his use of photography and then his use of his creative drawing style and then combining them into one. Take a look at some of these pictures from his collection. You should also checkout his other works on his site.
It has come to my attention that people in Japan have a lot of interesting concepts when it comes to finding space and utilizing it. This triangle house was designed by Ryoichi “Kodi” Kojima and Hiroshi Ono, the house features a wooden frame and a strong base reinforced with concrete. It's a beautiful 3-story triangular house which is located in Kawasaki City,Japan. The interior and exterior of this home were well thought out with it's stylish modern decor. If I lived in Japan I would definitely hire these designers to design my living space. They have the style and minimalistic ideas as I.
So I have been getting down to some chilled out DnB. I know what your thinking DnB is a little to hardcore for me. Well no one says that DnB has to be intense or overwhelming sometimes it's just chill and soothing. Two DJ's know this for a fact and you can hear it in their styles.Bachelors Of Sciencehave just released their fourth album "Warehouse Dayz" which is full of great tracks that consistently surprise you with a diverse palette of sounds, ensuring that things never get stale. Although this duo has just released their new album they have been getting more of a response on their two remixes they produced. The first remix that they did was Death Cab for Cutie's "Brothers on a Hotel Bed" which by itself is a great track. In this remix though it doesn't disappoint the ears with it's clean drums and shimmering vocals which gives it a dreamy sound which I enjoy. The second remix they did was The XX "Infinity" which keeps the drums minimal while still keeping it's rhythm and keeping the song focused yet soothing. If you want to check out the new album by Bachelors Of Science then check out their website where they have the album streaming. If you want to download the two remixes then just click on the titles of the tracks in the post.
Well I have returned from my much needed vacation and as I promised I will provide you with a new post today. So lets get right down to it. Let me introduce the NEW Xbox 360 Slim. I think it's about time to get rid of the old style and bring in the new. The new and improved Xbox 360 Slim is quieter and has a new sleek design. It will retail for about $300 bucks for a new one. In addition to a gorgeous, angular new case, the new 360 features a whisper-quiet design, built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi, a 250GB hard drive, and an included wireless controller and headset. Plus if you add the Kinect ($TBA) to your new Xbox it will look way better and provide you with some sweet new moves.
The Kinect is a motion tracking add-on, featuring a camera, audio sensors, motion-sensing tech to track 48 points of movement on your body, and the ability to recognize faces and voices. All of which works together to give you a unique, motion-driven gaming experience without the need of a controller. I did a blog on the Kinect back in November 2009 if you want to check it out and get some more info and a watch a demo video on it.
Recently I have become interested in taking photography pictures with a manual camera. I didn't have one so I was in the market of purchasing a film camera. I was telling a friend of mine about the interest I had in using a manual camera. She advised me that she had a manual camera that she would let me borrow to see if it was something that really interested me. I was excited because I would have something to test out and work with. So she let me borrow her Olympus OM10 Film Camera.
Once I had read the whole entire manual online a couple of times I was ready to give it a try. So on a really hot Sunday I went to Philippe Park in Safety Harbor, Florida to find some shoots of awesomeness. It was quite fun to say the least. I also did not alter them in Photoshop so they are all raw images. So below are some of the shoots that I took from my little photography journey of Philippe Park.
On a Side Note
After today I start my Vacation and will be heading to Tennessee for Bonnaroo and I won't be able to write a post while I'm gone. Unfortunately, I'm the only person at this point that writes the posts. I am however working on having some ghost writers assist in helping bring good quality posts and different viewpoints to this blog. The next post will be on 06/15/2010.
I'm a geek and I'm cool with that and one of the thing that this nerd likes is robots. Who doesn't like them right? I came across the photography of Thomas Jackson. In his collection you will find that he has a strange robot friend who helps with chores around the house. While the robot is completing his duties, he is surrounded by different light sequences or structures that are almost alien like. It's interesting as you go through his work. It tells a story in a silent fashion. I also took a gander of his new work which I highly recommend checking out. The lighting sequences are amazing and the development of the photography gives it a dark and ominous feel to them.
