A shameless attempt to get some folks to look at my queue and vote up some stuff.

please... vote early and often.

Jack started coming to the aquarium with me when he was 3. When he was 4 I started taking videos of the creatures for him to watch at home and I also started uploading them to Vimeo. You can imagine my joy watching him now just a month shy of his 7th birthday picking up his camera and starting to take his own videos.

YouTube now allows for a 2GB upload and also enabled HD embeds...pretty sweet...now we just need to allow for these larger embeds here on the sift.

A friend had mentioned this collection to me in passing a couple of weeks ago and I finally got around to checking it out last night, now I'm sad that I could have been enjoying this collection for 2 weeks already!

Truly inspired work of so many talented artists, you can download the entire album from the website, in either an album style "side a and side b" version or as individual tracks.

Do your self a favor and download this free, fantastic, toe tapin', haunting collection of mashups!

I also have sifted one of the fantastic videos for the track "The Elephant Connection" check it out!

 

One of my clients I edit/shoot for is part of the "adult" industry, they are a fetish company and their main rope man J.P. aka "The Pope" set out to do a photo shoot with some of his rope work and model Soma Snakeoil.

I wanted to capture/focus on him doing his thing. As you can imagine the majority of shoots are about the model, as they should be, and not about the guy setting it up. For me I was looking to shoot with just available light to see how well the camera and lens could do, I was very pleased with the result.

This video should be considered NSFW, as there is some nudity (artsy), but that is as adult as it gets. Enjoy.

Yes kids, the networks do watch what we do here... My Blues Brothers remix was used on "Attack Of The Show" Today:

 

I have sifted a no audio version of this video, but couldn't resist adding some audio of my own:

I came across this online tiltshift application via lifehacker yesterday, and quickly started to play. The nice thing you can do is download this widget as an application on the Adobe Air platform and run it on your PC, MAC or Linux box.

Here is one I made that's not so much a tiltsift as it just really fricken cool:

Here is the original image to compare:

and one that is more tiltshifty:

I sifted this vid, but am pretty sure it's out of view/intrest to most so I'm gonna throw it up here on my bully pulpit...Blog.

Took the boys down to the ocean at Point Dume to beat the freakish April heat wave, as the temps climbed into the upper 90s in Los Angeles proper, the ocean front was a cool 78 degrees.

I shot this on my way across town to see a film. I saw a pretty awesome sunset was coming so I grabbed my camera and started shooting.

The fellas from Alamo Drafthouse are on a west coast tour and stopped in to The New Beverly Cinema last night for a REDNECKSPLOITATION double feature. The film that left my jaw-a-gape-n was "Poor Pretty Eddie". Please watch this clip and you will have a taste of this sweet twisted film.
