Mic Check
So the latest rig I assembled is a D600 mounted to a JuicedLink pre amp, providing phantom power to a Shure SM58A Beta, which in turn feeds a very clean audio signal back to the camera.

It took me a few days, but I managed to balance the D600 and 17-55mm combo on another Steadicam Merlin (borrowed from a friend to be used as a test mule). Anyone who has tried to setup one of these things with any camera will tell you it’s a lesson in trial and error and […]

Trying out my "free" lens on the D600. The 17-55mm 2.8 DX is a lens for the smaller sensor cameras, but I thought I would use it without enabling the crop mode.

For right now I really can't travel to far off exotic places. I'll just have to find interesting places around town. While I can't truly cry foul that I don't have the means to just jump on a plane and go somewhere, it's still a grand privilege to be able to drive around wasting gas just to take some pictures and think about things.

In cinema, the protagonist (or villain) usually watches movies on old film projectors, with only the flickering of the machine as the soundtrack. Nothing that artsy for me, just watching my random video clips on the PS3 or phone. With cinegraphs joining animated gifs in the looping visual eye candy, it's not so bad losing the audio in most of my video files. It's not like on camera audio is any good anyway...

I kept my old phone and started using it as a dedicated camera/editor. Don't hang on to much, but this one has both good and sad memories. Yeah I know, way too sentimental...
N.O.La.
Going through some old photos, figuring out what to do. These are images from when I would stroll through New Orleans with an IR Sigma.

The ImagingUSA Expo was in our backyard earlier this week in Atlanta. I went to see the gear of course, and to get some inspiration for new things we could possibly make for photography. I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I’ve always known that you can’t make an easy living taking pictures, […]

The linoleum and EZ carve experience didn't go well, but in my wanderings around the web and on the roads, it led me to the world of custom Letterpress templates and an eye opening trip to the scrapbooking store. Yes, scrapbooking.
