Time out Tuesday: In Bb 2.0
I sat in on a lecture about social media recently and a gentleman asked the speaker what was the point. It was an interesting question, and answer seemed obvious. To explore new art forms and models of communication. To bring a simple medium to the people. And ideally to collaborate. The first two have been...

Time out Tuesday… On The Road
With MultimediaShooter down and out for the count, I haven’t been able to get my Koci travelogue fix in quite a while, which is harsh because it’s messing with my pre-trip vibe. See, I always watched some of those before a trip just to get me in the right mind set, but now those are...

$12, 12 hours, 12 musicians
I’m sure you’ve all heard about the 48 Hour Film Fest and a few of you may have heard of 24 House Comic Day, but I’m pretty sure not to many have heard of the inaugural Crate Digger Deathmatch, a 12 hour contest that challenges contestants to spend $12 on supplies and produce an album...

Time out Tuesdays: Empty walls
Welcome back to Time out Tuesdays, a continuing effort to share the stories that resonate with me and to keep myself constantly spelunking for the very best in photojournalism week after week, I’ve decided to start this new feature. Every week, I’ll post up a new photo story, video, picture or multimedia piece that I...

So far no sour kraut
I’ve been in Albuquerque about a month now and Weird Al was right, so far no sour kraut, but they do have a ton of green chile.

That’s all folk!
Well, I’m a bit swapped today with a ton of work and projects on the back burner, so I thought I’d let an old friend take over SLR and do the posting for the day. Take a look and let me know how he does, it’s sometimes hard to tell what he’s saying so don’t...

Stop motion photo + Modest Mouse = Multimedia goodness
One of my favorite bands (I’m digging the nautical theme on the new album) gets the flip book treatment for a recent contest that challenged fans to make a music video. According to the discription it’s 4133 poster images created from footage provided by the band. The video was turned into screen grabs and then...

My favorite MC is Escher!
I’ve been a little too serious as of late around here, it’s time for some comedy relief. Animation and MC Escher… I love this kinda stuff. The fellow shaving his head has unwittingly created something that every multimedia photographer is striving for: short, sweet, tightly edited, has a perfectly accentuated musical aspect and it holds...

Multimedia Shooter contest winners
I’ve been meaning to post this for a while, but someone cruel once decided that humans need sleep. If you’re like me you’re always looking for inspiration and one of the places I’ve found it was in looking over the winners of Multimedia Shooter’s first anything-goes contest held last March. There’s a couple of really...

Cuban Streets and Latin Beats
When Mediastorm launched a little over a year ago one of the centerpieces was “1976” a project that fused the beats of DJ RJD2 with a street photography aesthetic and an amazing flair for style and visuals. It’s more music video than journalism, but it’s just to good to ignore. I recently came across it...

It’s Tricky!!!
Not everything has to be serious, here’s a fun video that showcases the power of editing and sound and pays homage to one of my favs. The video is deceptively simple, but there’s a lot of thought going on behind the edits, musical cues, variations in signage and acting, yes acting. Plus some of those...

24 on|24 off :a documentary
“24 on|24 off” is a documentary where I shadowed the firefighters of the C-shift of Engine 2 in San Jose, Ca. My intention was to show the “family” side of life in the firehouse and rather than documenting the fires, which I saw as cliché, I wanted to go deeper into who these people were...
