Enormous Wind Turbine

It’s not fair to compare rusty fan-blade windmills on a farm to the high-tech behemoths of today’s wind energy business. Over the last few years, wind turbines have grown bigger and bigger, capturing more wind potential, offering more advanced meteorological readings, automation and connection to the energy grid.  As the son of a wind energy [ READ MORE ]

Breathtaking Time-Lapse

Terje Sorgjerd, a professional landscape filmmaker from Norway has really outdone himself with his latest, The Mountain. His short videos are not new by format or composition, but he has mastered time-lapse landscapes in a way that demands respect.  I especially admire fellow photographers and filmmakers that can paint visions of Earth that make people [ READ MORE ]

A Bit Haunting

I’ve been a fan of the music coming out of Sweden for a number of years. Peter Bjorn and John, Jose Gonzalez, Robyn, Jens Lekman, Miike Snow, and the list goes on and on. Lykke Li has been performing for many years, but her recent album Wounded Rhymes is particularly good, and very catchy. Here [ READ MORE ]

Time-Lapse of Space Shuttle Discovery Launch

No, NASA launches do not have the same captivating fervor they once had, and a lot of the American public seems to not care about the space shuttle one way or the other, though the process of getting the shuttle (for one of the very last times) into orbit is still an enormously complex and [ READ MORE ]

New Job: Exxon!

UPDATE: For some reason, this post is a well-visited one. I would remind people of the date of the post: April 1st. Exxon is one of the scurges of the world, don’t believe for a second I’d stoop so low! Super excited to announce that I’ve gotten hired as a PR and Media Manager for [ READ MORE ]

Hacker with iPhone takes over Times Square

Pretty amazing little device this guys has. His mere close proximity triggers remote video override. Goes to show that geeks really can make an impact, if they so choose. I would be annoyed if this happened in a theater, but I’m impressed with the hack. Now the tricky part, how to hack and come through [ READ MORE ]

Videophones

The idea is not new. As much as I love Apple’s work, they did not invent the videophone. Not by a long shot. True, their iPhones and iPads help usher in a relevant and elegant solution to the age-old idea, but going back over a century, people have envisioned calling others using imagery as well [ READ MORE ]

Netflix, unstoppable?

I remember when those envelopes showing up in the mail was exotic and new. A DVD in the mail? Crazy! It was a small, lean, innovative company.  Fast-forward, I mean, skip to 2011, and Netflix nearly dominates the scene, having obliterated Blockbuster, and seeped into millions of living rooms around the country. This infographic I [ READ MORE ]

New Work: Cinematography Reel 2011

Painters have their new canvases, writers have their manuscripts, videographers have their reels. I put together a quick collection of  scenes I’ve filmed over the last year or so, specifically the scenes that show my eye as a cinematographer. These aren’t narrative content as much as visually interesting clips that show a range of places [ READ MORE ]
