On the path...

Image
A situation arose recently while working on some brand strategy and photography in the studio when I had asked my buddy if he drank coffee, he nodded in agreement, and I went ahead and brewed a pot and carried on with some other stuff. I was clearly focused on the task at hand and had completely forgotten about the coffee, which is the crux of this ths story. Randomly, my friend turns to me and says, "Hey man, what are you doing with that coffee?"  I reminded him that I don't like the passive-aggressive, assertive alpha male crap. Just ask bitch!!! we laughed. I make great coffee by the way. Life is turning into a path for me. I realise that im on the right path, until I'm not!!! the shortcuts aren't as fun as they used to be. The destination will be there, I have far more memorable travels getting there again...   ...I'M BACK ON THE PATH All photos taken with the  Panasonic DMC-LZ1 LUMIX DC VARIO 4MP     All photos taken with the  Panasonic DMC-LZ1 LUMIX D...

  Yoooooo...The early digital Point and Shoot cameras had some crazy functionality and outputs, especially if you're not using the proprietary software. these are clips from a "burstode" Moviefile that rendered 16-frames in one file. The Camera was on a tripod directly infront of the tv screen, giving it that early retro video aesthetic. The Toshiba PDR-M4 is a compact digital camera with a 2.1 megapixel resolution 1600x1200  a 1/2" CCD sensor, and a fixed focal length lens. Key specifications include a 1.8-inch LCD screen, a single-focus lens with a macro function, and storage via SmartMedia cards. It was released in 1999 and featured a fast shot-to-shot burst mode and USB connectivity   Toshiba PDR-M4: Nature Channel Toshiba PDR-M4: Nature Channel2 Toshiba PDR-M4: Nature Channel 3 Toshiba PDR-M4: Nature Channel 4 Toshiba PDR-M4: Nature Channel 5 Toshiba PDR-M4: Nature Channel 6 Toshiba PDR-M4: Nature Channel 7 Toshiba PDR-M4: Nature Channel 8 Toshiba PDR-M4: Nature...

Walk, this way

Image
Where should I start, It is said that you should start at the beginning of things. Each day literally, I take a picture of something, anything really. it gets the visual juices flowing for me... At the moment I have the luxury of getting to walk to work which gives me the opportunity to observe and shoot. There are a few tenets or rules that I use as guides for my style and they are derived from the existing formats or teachings in the approach of using a technique like Miksang or Wabi-sabi. Look, see, feel, and shoot!  "I'm paying attention to what I'm paying attention to" I believe it is an extension of practicing mindfulness and truly being aware of your immediate surroundings. Grab your camera, any camera will work, remember the camera you have is the best camera! get out, or in and shoot ALL SHOTS TAKEN WITH THE Panasonic DLC-LZ1 LUMIX
