Most of you know that I’m really wanting to move back into video. Quality is getting crazy good and so are the cameras offering video features. I’m still a bit confused by all the modular systems of the Red Camera, but I love what they’re trying to do…. so much so that I rode an Oakley board in Bali in support of James Jannard founder of Oakley and Red Cameras. I’m very interested to see how these systems will develop and change the industry.

Wanted to share this volcano shot I captured in Ubud. It had been raining during our drive up from seafood near Kuta. The clouds parted for a moment and gave us a great view of the main volcano on the island. A really nice site, glad I was able to capture it… from the passenger seat of the cab

Hey all,

Since the kitty pictures seemed to strike a chord with folks I thought I’d throw up a couple monkey pictures from Monkey Forrest in Ubud, Indonesia. They might seem cute at first but look through till the end… › Continue reading

Hey all,

Wanted to introduce my new “kitteh”, Mischa. She’s a beautifully silky Russian Blue teenager.

Hey all,

Got a chance to go around with DJ Ernie and fiance Bill on Tuesday of my Bali trip. Went to “Ground Zero” or the location of the Bali bombings from 2001. Saw the memorial, wreckage from one of the blasts, and one location that was rebuilt.

Hey all,

Sexy new computers out from Apple today. Looks like they’ve cut the 17inch models and have a 20 inch and some new 24 inch iMacs for those looking for a decent home computer set up.

I’m a little bummed that the entry level 24inch has an integrated video card. For most people this won’t be a deal breaker, and Apple’s internal testing shows the new setup to be faster, but a lot of people are predicting that software will begin more and more to leverage the power of video cards and the processor together for the processing of complex tasks. If that’s the case, I’d rather have a real video card. Plus, if I do get back into video I’ll need a faster video card for Motion and other programs.

If all you do is surf, Word, and a bit of photo work have no fear about the entry level 24 inch… it looks like a decent setup. For me it means I have to pay a bit more to get the computer I want…. or wait till the mid-level 24inch shows up refurbished. Then I can pair it with the oh so cheap Dell 24 inch monitor for a dual monitor editing dream station Well maybe not the top dream, but at least a not so expensive, obtainable one.

As with all Apple computers, don’t pay for memory from them though. Upgrade that on your own and save lots of money. Also skip the “mighty mouse” and it’s horrible nub. The Bluetooth Keyboard is great, but the mouse is 30 kinds of annoying.

Hey all,

Throwing up a few preview images for the Hua Hin area Wedding of Alicia and Jamie. They were married on Valentine’s Day this year in one of the largest beach weddings I’ve photographed in a long time. Guests flew in to Thailand from Hong Kong, Australia, the UK, and even the US!

It was a beautiful Thailand destination wedding with only one drawback - those horrible kite surfers or whatever they’re called flying past in the background during the ceremony and the formal shoot, see above ).

More pictures to come on the main site soon, but enjoy some more pics after the jump. › Continue reading

Hey all,

If you didn’t catch the reference in my last post, I’m off to Bali this week. I’ll be staying at a decent hotel for the first part of the trip so should have internet and should be updating the blog with pics from the area. Also look for our content launch for Accidental Epicurean this week
