Caricature

Check out this sweet caricature a friend of mine cooked up. I used to work with Marcus Sakoda at the Apple Store a couple of years back. Shy, quite dude, with a BEAST of a skill. Check out his Webpage/blog. Go ahead, just click his name.

Thanks Marcus, this image looks way too real. haha

Here is the original

Love Me/Hate Me

I got a chance to work with Peter Lindsey and Jeremy Castillo this weekend. Peter directed a music for a band called The Relay Co. The director of Photography was Jeremy, and I got to AC (assistant camera). So much fun and so efficient. I can't wait to get things started with these guys. B.O.L.O

Here are some quick flicks from the iPhone, I'll be posting the video once it's all done.

Aww Yeah!

There was this one time...in band camp...hahah. Seriously though, there was this one time, I had a pretty good DJ set up. 2 Technic M3D's, Vestax 05ProII and Serato. Sounds pretty standard, but I was used to it. The fader was just how I preferred, I always made sure my TT's were running at the same speed, and my Serato was filled with the best music (at least to me). Then I had to sell them. Times were rough and I needed the cash flow, but I know they went to a good home. Sometimes, when I think about it, I get sad because I let go of something I enjoyed, and was good at. It wasn't the best move in the world, but I did it anyway, I regret it all the time, but you can't cry over spilt milk, you feel me?

Anyway, all of that was preface to this. DJ Jsquared and The Brain called me saying they wanted to have a DJ session. Since I haven't touched a set in so long, I agreed. Here is just a little bit of the madness. As you can tell, really haven't touched a DJ set in a long time, I'm really rusty.

(I just realized that the sounds is off on the second half of the video. Sorry about that.)

Also, JP is putting together a photo project and he asked me to submit a photo for it. The details are on his blog, and here is my submission.

Benny Gold @ Purist Downtown San Jose

I am fortunate enough to have some great friends. Friends that are making an impression on San Jose. Marco of Purist, along with the Purist family had a party at the shop just cuz. A notable design artist that was there was SF's own, Benny Gold. I have been seeing Benny Gold pop up in a few video edits as of late. This guy is really inspiring. Self made man, who is all about progression. Check this video and listen to his metaphor for his paper airplane symbol:

I was pretty star struck when I saw Benny Gold walk into Purist with his wife and dog. I had to get a picture with him.
