Caine’s Arcade

My good friend Pam at the blog More Tea Vicar? sent me this great video this morning. It’s 10 minutes long so give yourself a break to watch this. The perfect happy, feelgood and charming video for a Friday…

It’s a girl

So yesterday I found out that come August I will be the proud father of a baby girl. Now, never having been a father, before you are told whether you are having a boy or girl there seems to be (at least in my case) a slight disconnect. You know the baby is there, refer [...]

2011 ADDY Awards

In a first for me, the promotional video I did with the Boys and Girls Club of Truckee Meadows managed to take Overall Best of Show last Friday at the AAF Reno ADDY Awards. Huge thanks to Jim Scripps at Boys and Girls Club as well as Marc Nannini and Steven Aramini at Arsenal Advertising [...]

Love this

Amy Stein

A few months ago I was introduced to NYC based photographer Amy Stein’s work. She shot the image which appeared on the cover of the Nevada Museum of Art’s Altered Landscape collection catalogue (which is actually a gorgeous 288 page work of art in itself ). Her series Halloween in Harlem is wonderful.

The “Other” Lost Apollo Tapes

Black Rock City

Last week I managed to finally make it to the yearly mega-festival in the desert known as Burning Man. In case you have never heard of it, it is a yearly week-long event that takes place in the Black Rock Desert outside of Reno, Nevada. A temporary city of 50,000 people is constructed in the [...]

Above It All…

I spent some time a few weeks ago on a commission in a small plane over the Sierras. You usually see mountains and cities from either ground level or 35,000 ft in a larger plane. With movies. And meals. And less bumps. Like a Cadillac, not a Smart Car. I’m not sure I’d be a good [...]
