P.S.

I promise I'll get back to writing more stories, using photographs and telling life anecdotes soon!

Social Context Much?

I apologize - I know I've been getting away from writing recently, letting you all down, etc. But, I can't help it! There have been so many damn cool videos and you all know how much of a sucker I am for cool videos.

I know I already posted one tonight, but should we see another one?

I think so.

Much like the last video, this one is heavy. Hopefully it'll make you think. Maybe after the movie is done, maybe during it. Hell, it might even provoke you to pause it, stop watching, ponder for a bit, then resume. To be honest, it didn't have that affect on me, but, who knows, to each their own!

This piece has a lost of social context and I think thats what I like about it so much.

Oh, and it doesn't hurt that it looks absolutely beautiful at the same time (with a very very very unique style and palate).

Watch. Think. Learn.

Does it move you? Make you think? Form any opinions?

Hot damn, tilt-shift has really caught on since the Social Network came out.

Now, I know there are different ways to do it, but I mean the real way. None of this honkey bullshit that involves you fixing a picture in post or with your fancy-ass iphone.

No. I mean, with an actual tilt-shift lens.

This next piece is well, awesome.

It looks beautiful and it hits home with sustainability and sustainable practices.

Hazah!

Bastards!

Hopefully I'll be joining this guys soon, in the same recording studio.

Get Ready!

I knew China was up to something!

Not only is everything made in China, now they are capable of doing anything!



They are going to take over the world!

We're doomed!

Trolling


It just glided along. Trolling through the water, barely creating a wake or single wave for that matter. It wasn't because they didn't want to startle the fish, but it was too peaceful to disturb nature that morning.

It felt as if gravity was extra strong that day, holding the mist from rolling into the hills - squatting over the water, like mother nature had taken a long drag on a cigarette, only to let it trickle out of her mouth and onto the lake. It was pure though. You'd breath deeply and your lungs would fill with it, bath in it, cleanse in it. It was cool when you inhaled, it tasted of ozone and moss.

The air was sweet with the smell of fall - decaying leaves and forest undergrowth. The oars of the boat barely disturbed the water as they broke the surface, propelling the boat forward.

They had set out with the rods to catch the "keeper," but this morning was too perfect. Pulling hard for one last row, they let the boat pull them forward, into the mist and out of sight.

Fresh Pots!

And people seriously question why I love this man so much?



Isn't it quite obvious?
