Dirty, Filthy Snowpocalypse S2000
Forgot to add this photo to last night’s post. Let’s call it, ‘Dirty, filthy.’ Enjoy!
Secret Mountain Retreat Edits
I know I’ve been reposting a lot of stuff that isn’t my work lately, but that’s because I’ve been coming across such interesting things that I’ve felt compelled to share with you all. So I have. But tonight, some originals. I’m not one to do a lot of post-processing. I figure, if I can’t get [...]
The Sandpit
Reposted from PetaPixel. Too good not to share here. The Sandpit is a beautiful short film by Sam O’Hare that shows New York City in miniature using a shallow depth-of-field. In an interview on Aero Film, O’Hare says, It is shot on a Nikon D3 (and one shot on a D80), as a series of [...]
Yes, This is a Necessity
Borrowed from a recent Chase Jarvis post, who borrowed from Carl Jung. The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. When your high-school guidance counselor, or college commencement-speech-giver said something to the effect of, [...]
72 Musicians
I want to see this. Three years later, my film is done. It’s about hope, dreams, failure, day care, sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. Enjoy.
Godzilla
As an automaker (not you, Toyota – the Supra and Celica All-Trac notwithstanding), you know you’ve done something right when one of your models lives on in infamy under the moniker, ‘Godzilla’. Man On The Move kindly used one of my photos for a blog post. I’ll skip the pleasantries and get right to it. [...]
All In
Here’s a snippet from a blog post by Bill Strickland of Bicycling Magazine, He’s all in, which was the only way he was ever going to get in. Most of us say we would do the same, given the chance. And that’s probably right. But you’re not given the chance. You have to go out [...]
Opposites, Black Market and Brighter
Funny that I stumble across trailer’s for Black Market’s Killswitch promo and the trailer for Brighter on the same day. Opposites attract, eh? This first one, Black Market’s Killswitch promo, I’m digging the both the opening sequence and camera on the bike, showing the suspension articulating…would love to see more of that in bike videos [...]
Doe, A Deer…
I’ve posted several pics about the weekend I had celebrating my buddy’s 30th, what with the house, snow, beer, hot tub, etc. What I failed to mention were the deer that had taken up residence on the edge of the property, nestled under some snowy pine trees. So one afternoon I broke out the 70-200, [...]
DSLR Music Video
The Noises 10, ‘You’re Never Gonna Be That Good.’ The Noises 10 “You’re Never Gonna Be that Good” from Ramon Boutviseth on Vimeo. Everything but the slo-mo was shot on a DSLR. A D90. Chew on that for a minute and enjoy the song and video. I did. Maybe you will, too.
Stress
After posting my video short, ‘Beer Run‘ on s2ki.com, a poster mentioned that it reminded him of Claude Lelouch’s 1976 film, Rendevous. Short Movie Rendez-Vous of Claude Lelouch, in Paris in 1976 On an August morning in 1976, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Mercedes. He drive at [...]
Snowpocalypse S2000 Beer Run
Testing out a new camera mount. If you’ve got 5 minutes that you don’t necessarily need back, check it out.
19 Most Dangerous Roads in the World
I like cars. I like bikes. After seeing these photos of the ’19 Most Dangerous Roads in the World’, my first thought was, ‘I wanna ride/drive these!’ Mind you, I have a bit of experience with the winding, twisting roads of Europe. And, if I’m being perfectly honest, what I want to do is to [...]
Two Vidoes I Keep Rewatching
First, a Will Roegge and Joshua Herron collabo – ‘Keep Drifting Fun‘. I’m digging the music. Great driving, thumping rhythm. Song is ‘Percussion Gun’ by White Rabbits. Looks like iTunes just bled me for another 0.99. Drift Mechanik’s Keep Drifting Fun from Joshua Herron on Vimeo. And second, Red Bull F1′s promo for Quebec 2010. [...]
The Snowpocalypse S2000 Rides Again
After reading some of the criticism from my first Snowpocalypse post (‘the roads were plowed!’, ‘there were no hills!’) especially after it made it onto Jalopnik, I was tempted to post a rebuttal. I don’t really have the time or energy for that though. Instead, I’ll just post more photos. And now, a video. And [...]
Another Snowy S2000 Adventure
Had another snowy S2000 adventure this weekend. Here’s a teaser pic. Full post tomorrow. And maybe some more video… Enjoy!
Snowpocalypse S2000 Oversteer Fun
So I got a lot of flak about driving on paved roads in my Snowpocalypse S2000 post, which is to be understood. Thing was, I didn’t know it’d end up on Jalopnik, else I’d have picked more ‘perfect’ backdrops. That, and because I was on public roads that were constantly being plowed (and it was [...]
Apparently NYC Got Snow, Too
My buddy Craig shot this photo in Central Park when they finally got hit with Snowpocalypse 2 after it had ravaged the Mid-Atlantic. I enjoyed it so much that I’m reposting it here. Check out Craig’s blog when you get a chance, he’s got a little bit of talent ;) Enjoy!
Style: Jae C Maie Is Now Live!
Just a quick update. I did the majority of the photography for Jolie’s line and site, and now I’m happy to say that the site’s gone live! Check it out – Jae C Maie. The ecommerce portion isn’t live yet, but you can still purchase stuff from her Etsy page. Valentine’s Day is coming up, [...]
Mixed Bag of Inspiration
On the internet we’re all binary in some ways, I guess. Zero or one. Off or on. Consume or create. As a creator, I find myself being inspired constantly by things I’ve consumed. I’m going to share with you 6 videos I’ve consumed recently that have inspired me, in some way, over the past few [...]
Snowpocalypse S2000 on Jalopnik
Per Jalopnik, and I quote, “The Snowpocalypse As Seen From A Honda S2000: All-Wheel Drive Is For Pansies.” A Washington, D.C. man hit the remains of this weekend’s blizzard in an unlikely chariot. The photos are strangely mesmerizing. Winter, meet the 8000-rpm, rear-wheel-drive wonder. Snow tires make the world go ’round. Haha! Anyway, they reposted [...]
Snowy Bulgogi
The half Korean in me couldn’t resist sending my Snowpocalypse pics to the Bulgogi Brothers blog (which kicks ass, btw). They typically stick to Euro marques, but I figured they’d appreciate a roadster gettin’ it done in a blizzard. And they did! Thanks guys! (PS – Need a NYC auto photog? Hit me up! :-P )
Snowpocalypse in the S2000
I’m long overdue for a big post. And given the recent big weather the mid-atlantic’s received, I felt it only appropriate that I give this storm it’s due in the best way I know how – by venturing out into this mess and making photos. So, without further ado, I bring you the fruits of [...]
World Nutella Day!
This post is taking an abnormally long time to write. Why? Because Feb 5th is World Nutella Day and I’ve got one hand in a jar of it right now, hehe. Seriously, I love Nutella. So much so that I took this happy little, hazlenutty jar for a walk to show it the sights around [...]
