Sorry for my extended absence, but I’m back. And posting in style!

The past few months have been crazy, and there’s been a lot that has happened. Sarah and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary, and I’m enrolled back in college, and I’m enjoying it. That’s just a little snippet, but I won’t bore you with the rest.

I’m just glad to be back.

I'm back

Finally got my hands on this puppy!

Here is a short random video just showing off the wideness of this lens.  It’s magnificent.

Hopefully you’ll be seeing many short films to come with this lens….

“The Last 3 Minutes” from Shane Hurlbut

This is an amazing short film I found while searching Vimeo.

Take a few minutes and watch it, I don’t think you’ll regret it.  As I watched this so many emotions came about.  This story covers the seemingly mundane life of a janitor, William Turner.  At first glance you’d think he was just a normal boring janitor, but as the film unfolds interesting events unfold.

Shot on the famous 5D MkII at 30 fps then converted to 24 fps.

And check out the “Making of” videos too

The House Among Trees

May 5th, 2010 Post Comment ( 0 )

Any architecture that is built with nature in mind, is made with concrete and has wooden interior elements, immediately gets an instant like from me. There’s just something about the combination of wood, concrete and trees that I love.

In this case the trees were included by law. Local construction codes of Mar Azul, Beunos Aires, Argentina actually restrict the removal of trees. Instead of relocating the house the architects, Martín Fernández de Lema and Nicolás F. Moreno Deutsch, decided to build the house around them. Leaving the end result a beautifully designed, wide open house that is seemingly the perfect spring or summertime residence.
