ok go’s never been a creative venture to sit idle + follow protocol. their latest is everywhere but well worth the eyeballs. boo to emi for not catching on while they had the chance.

amazing stop motion taken to a new height here in grindin’. + catch the making of when you have time.

lastly, slow [...]

one of the absolute grandest aspects, bar none, of working in independent visual media is the chance you may get a phone call at any time that could realistically change for the better your day, month or year. you just never know who’s out there watching your work, waiting for the right time to reach [...]

in line with our upcoming volunteer work for last year (we’re late) with NYPAW in nyc, here’s a fantastic organization called Students of the World (SOW) in Austin that also works with children affected by war. can’t paste the trailer here but they have a powerful looking film coming out entitled the children’s war. there’s [...]

i wrestled in high school. it wasn’t my life but it was a great thing for me in many ways.

i’m a huge believer in keeping things as real as possible regardless how crazy this ride called life throws one’s way. it’s amazing the egos + totally wacked elements that make their way into photography, visual media + our lives in general but it’s simplest terms it’s mostly bullshit. i’ve always tried to maintain ties [...]

fantastic to see the thriving variety of uses for imagery + visual media evolving lately. two big hitters this week include national geographic + the ny times. the times feature is similar to work that is slowly making it mainstream that i touched on earlier here.
the national geo piece is via gizmodo + in [...]

lastly, have to hand it to start up evernote (see my tools sidebar), as i thought phil libin the ceo did a fine pitch via mass media here in the times last weekend.

art + copy is a new film delving into the history of what many of us either can’t get enough of or find ourselves getting far too much exposure to. already starting the machine talking it’s sure to ring a few bells + make some waves on it’s current tour.
