Specialization is for Insects.
While Cali Lewis and I were in Berlin last week for the IFA 2011 show we had the opportunity to spend a day wandering around Berlin. As usual I annoyed the hell out of her by stopping every 15 feet to take a photo. The following is a collection of HDR, or High Dynamic Range, [...]
Today, October 28, marks the anniversary of one of the most important days in the history of the world, yet few people remember it’s significance. But the Greeks do, and they celebrate OXI day, every year. The day was October 28, 1940. At dawn that morning (4:00am), after a party in the German embassy in [...]
As we each go off this fine Monday to begin the work week I just thought it might be nice to take a look at someone with a legitimately hard job. Here is a lady, filmed in Germany, who rides around doing crazy bicycle stunts all day. So the next time you’re feeling a little [...]
Thanks to Peggy for sending me this video of a stunt pulled off by Improv Everywhere, whose slogan is “we cause scenes”. The setup is that 207 people all walking through Grand Central Station in New York all freeze in place at the exact same second, and hold still for a full 5 minutes. Most [...]
Wow, Panoramas.dk is one of the greatest sites I’ve ever come across. It features a number of three dimensional panoramas which allow you to virtually look around a given space. This is a technology that can only flourish on the Web since you cannot move around inside a static photograph. There are virtual reality panoramas [...]
Now, I know someone is going to accuse me of making up this silly post about beer just so I could post this photo online. So? Is that a problem? Anyway, the inspiration for this post was actually a pile of little known beer facts. Enjoy:
Yee-haw! For the State Fair of Texas
Last Sunday Elie, Jad, my wife and I joined Cali Lewis, Neal Campbell, Dave and Kat Curlee, and a bunch of other folks at the State Fair of Texas for a GeekBrief.TV filled day of goofing off.
The weather was very nice, with a nice breeze and a perfectly blue sky (even though it...
A Photographic Journey to the Dallas Farmer’s Market
Last weekend I took a trip to the Dallas Farmer’s Market with Lorelle VanFossen and Cali Lewis. While we were there we enjoyed the sights, sounds and free samples of one of the largest Farmer’s Markets in the world.
I had taken along the trusty Canon 1D camera and was snapping away while wandering around....
Trip to the Indy 500, Day 1 – Indian Casinos, McDonald’s Over the Highway and Throwed Rolls
When I started my 900+ mile drive from the Dallas area to Indianapolis, Indiana I traveled north through Sherman Texas and on up into Oklahoma. I had been hearing about the Choctaw Indian casino for a long time so thought I’d go check it out while I was going by.

Flaming Cocktails! The Blue Blazer
Russell “Rockstar” Davis, from RockstarBartender.com, was kind enough to make this completely awesome flaming tequila based cocktail while I videoed it on a Canon 5D Mark II with a 15mm fisheye lens on it. The results are simply fantastic. If you’ve never seen anyone pour flaming liquid 3 feet through the air before, well… let...
