Blair is doing some pieces for our new building this year. So Blair, Craig, Jason, Gabi, Patric, and I went to the top secret wood mill where Blair goes to get wood for all his projects.

We started early at Blairs shop on a saturday morning around 11AM to be exact.

The dudes have this magical gruman van that they transports you into an alternate dimension where the mill is located. 

The mill is a spot kind like the place where life is born in the last episode of LOST. Craig is kind of like the gate keeper to the place. No one passes unless you go through him. He just stands in the van on the way there and doesn’t say a word. when you talk to him he doesn’t look at you or even acknowledge your existence, this is a test to see if you are ready to view the mill.

All of a sudden you go through some wild ass hyper space wood warp speed and somehow your at the mill without knowing how you got there. I must have snapped this photo while i was unconscious because i don’t remember taking it. I think its a worm whole but I could be wrong.

When you get there Craig finally talks to you and says ” follow me “.

Gabi is quickly hypnotized but the insane amount of unique wood pieces to choose from.

And i am faced with the mind blowing task of searching through pallets upon pallets of wood to pick a piece that will live in the lobby of my building.

We find one and everything seems to start to make sense.

And just like when your about to wake up from a strange dream, Blair turns into a red faces whooping crain and tells you its time to go home. The next thing I know my stomach is full of salami and im asleep in my room.

end.

So this is the first video i ever uploaded to the internet. I submitted a couple videos, including this one, to the Vimeo Awards, so I figured I had better make this a little more presentable if Im going to submit it. Anyways just a little blast from the past post.

As much as I hate waking up early, sometimes it can be a good thing to do, to get you nice and relaxed before you rip into your intense work day. Here is some music to wake up and get you all spiritual and shit in the mornings.

Since our search for turkish tasty’s has been nothing less than a complete failure we decided to go to the closest religious building to pray to the god of human eaters to give us something to munch on.

On our way in we found 2 kids who were going in to get circumcised. ( seriously this is the outfit that  you have to wear before you get your dong chopped off in turkey )

We went inside and saw that it was a religious building but it had been turned into tourist attraction.

This really bummed Ryan out

much like everyone who finds out that their religious temple has been turned into a spectacle, we went to go drink and artificially induce happiness.

and wouldn’t you know it….. it worked.

As usual when the sun goes down things start to get a little strange with the monsters, especially when we get some of the magic brew in our bodies.

Chris and Ryan were so pissed, hungry, and drunk that they started shape shifting the landscape

We all came up to the top deck and talked it over as a group of monsters.

We said, ” ya know what, fuck this place were outa here”.

So we turned into light and flew our asses back home.

end.

I cant fucking believe it! I never actually thought I would live to see the day that the hover board was created. So pumped right now.

So i recently got the Leica V-lux 20. I got it for the most part because it was a point and shoot that shoots HD. So until i get the time to do a video review on this camera, here is the Northern Lights photo review of the V-lux.

For starters you are working with Leica glass, which is the best glass in the world to shoot photos with. Unfortunately you only got an f stop of f3.3 so your bepth of field is fairly limiting but you will be able to make up for in it macro mode.

An other unfortunate feature that this camera is that it’s lacking is the ability to shoot RAW files. But in good light you wont have to do to much color correction so your high quality Jpeg’s should do just fine.

The the flash is pretty good especially for how small the camera is.

And the colors are decent coming straight out of the camera but need some finessing in Lightroom or whatever photo editor you use.

A really awesome feature on this camera is the zoom. It is a 16 X zoom which i think its really  great for such a compact camera.

The low light capability is above average for a point and shoot, but i am used to shooting with the 5D right now so anything but perfection at ISO 1600 to me isnt acceptable.

Studio shots are good which is to be expected but i found a little bit of noise in the shots when i took it past ISO 800.

All in all i give this camera a 8 out of 10 for point and shoots. It’s fully manual and has a decent lens, but with a small sensor and no raw files i feel like they there are limitations to what you can do with this camera. Regardless though, as expected, it is a quality product from Leica and i would recommend it to anyone buying a point and shoot right now. Is it the best point and shoot on the market? Prolly not but its top 3 at the moment in my book. Ill get on shooting some video on it and see how it works.
