I’ve been wanting to start doing some action sports photography for a while now. So when I got the chance to shoot some skateboarding with Jens Peterson, Kyle Ford and Levi Ogner last weekend I jumped at the chance. This is my first foray into the skate world, but I think I was able to get some pretty decent stuff in a short time.
We checked out Belvedere skate park in East LA, Fillmore skate park and finally Santa Clarita (although it was closed and dark).
Here’s one of my favorite shots from the day, of Jens.
“Polaroid film died a while back, but then was reborn with plans to re-release the old instant film cameras and the famous Color 600 instant film. We got our first sneak peek at what the new Polaroid film cameras will look like when they hit the storefronts later this year. It looks like Polaroid will be offering some unique finishes for the new instant shooter, including a wood-grain finish as shown in the mockup above. The new camera will be called the PIC 1000 and should cost less than $100.
Supported by a strategic relationship with Summit Global Group, a longtime Polaroid partner, and The Impossible Project, the manufacturer of classic film for Polaroid film cameras, Polaroid will offer a completely redesigned, modern version of the Polaroid OneStep camera, the PIC 1000. The PIC 1000 will be available in a range of fun colors and use classic Polaroid Color 600 Instant Film to produce the brand’s classic white border instant pictures. The Polaroid Color 600 Instant Film will work with both classic and new Polaroid cameras and will be offered in packs of 10 pictures. The new classic PIC 1000 camera and instant color film will be available at national retailers in 2010. -Polaroid Press “

This week, more photos surfaced of the alleged apple tablet on designer Dustin Curtis’ blog. Obviously apple won’t confirm or deny the accuracy of this. But it’s the best and most realistic leaked photo I’ve seen so far.
We won’t know until the special event coming up in SF, but it’s always fun to speculate in the meantime.
This is a project I’m very proud to say I worked really hard on. I’ve been working on some indie music videos in the past 6 months in the varying degrees of production. I’ve done PA work, Grip/Electric, etc. and it’s been fun.
But last month, I got tapped out of the blue to run the whole art department on a video for the band Metasyn and ended up with credit as Production Designer! So anything that you see in this that looks rad, I had a hand in it.
I built the set with my own two hands from the ground up for the performance shots. I sourced the dead pheasant for the creepy dragging shots. I dressed just about everything you can think of, from the mask to the ash in the breakdown shot. I also ran 4 banks of KINOFLOs during hours and hours of performance. So that flickering you notice when everyone is rocking out? That’s me on the ones, twos threes fours fives sixes, etc… hahah.
It was a ton of work and I was exhausted at the end. But I couldn’t be much happier with the final result.
Locations in and around downtown Los Angeles and at Enjoy Human Studios.
