A Proper Gig Bag

August 28, 2011

As much as I’d like to maintain my laid-back and carefree attitude towards photography, there comes a time where I think I need to be more professional, specifically when working with actual professionals. as much as I love using my Crumpler Bag for carrying my gear comfortably, it’s bright orange top flap doesn’t exactly scream [...]

Review: Sucker Punch (2011)

August 18, 2011

Basically I was interested in this movie because it’s a Zack Snyder movie and I loved 300 and Watchmen. Although there is tons of green-screening, I think Snyder does a good job of making his movies artistically and visually stimulating.

Food: Coca-Cola Caviar

March 24, 2011

Spherification. What? Spherification. Oh! Yes. I wanted to try out the spherification techniques used by high end restaurants and gastro-pubs to encapsulate a little bit of liquid in a thin, gelatin-like layer. The end result is something that looks like fish roe or caviar depending on the base liquid.
