TOKYO!

In less than a week, I'll be flying to Tokyo Japan.  I've dreamed about going to Japan since I was about 5 years old.  I absolutely can't wait!  If anyone has heard anything specific I should see while I'm there, let me know.  Packing tips?  I found a fantastic small-ish camera backpack to use as a day pack while i'm there.

I'm going to take a bajillion (that's a word right?) photos while i'm there, and a bunch of HD video.

...I'm kind of obsessive about packing...I keep packing, then rethinking what I'm bringing....

LEGOS

A good friend of my Steve Young works for a video game company called Net Devil.  He gave me one of the coolest christmas presents ever.  A Starwars collectors edition LEGO Millennium Falcon.  Net Devil is working on the latest MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) for LEGO in the lego universe.  Pretty sweet.

It has well over 5000 pieces and I anticipate it taking upwards of 30+ hours to build.  If I was twelve again, my head might explode.  I spent over three hours just organizing the pieces, and it still feels like a disaster.  Pretty awesome.  More progress as I get there...Great to feel like a kid again.  This feels pretty therapeutic.  Also- "Better" photos later.  I got really lazy...felt more like building!

"Trash and Progress" Wrapped!

Today was the last day of the "Trash and Progress" feature film.  I didn't get to tag along for the whole production, but I enjoyed working with this crew.  More photos here.

It's been crazy trying to catch up and recover after WPPI.  There is truly a massive amount of information to process and apply.  This season is getting exciting.  More on my super-8mm project soon!

Photo shoot from two weeks ago.

Right before WPPI I shot with Jessica Fisher, utilizing the costuming from the feature film she is shooting.  Thanks everyone for helping out.

"Trash and Progress" Progress...

We shot another night on "Trash and Progress.  We shot at Know Knew Books in Palo Alto until about 4:00AM.  I (literally) fell asleep at the end of the night.

"Trash and Progress"

"Trash and Progress" is a feature film directed by Abraham Dieckman with Director of Photography Jessica Fisher.  I'm shooting some production stills for the last part of the shooting.  The project is a post-apocalyptic science fiction film.  You can view the whole event on my Picasa web album here.  More to come!
