Clapboard - Full Frontal Nerdity

I just put pictures on the site for the first time in about 9 months!  Check 'em out!

BootieLA was pretty epic (as it always is) and this time, I took my camera to record the fun.  I took ~525 pictures and culled those down to ~200, and that's what you get here.  There are lots of blurry, dark images, but it's a learning experience and it's a re-education on the lens I use (a fixed 30mm f1.4 Sigma), because it's basically 1-6ft of focus and everything beyond is infinity.  There are a few shots that are almost awesome except that I missed the focus a bit.  There were way more that were just too absurd for words.

Anyway, click on Photos in the menu to head to the Gallery or click here to check out the pics!

It's been awhile, eh?

I haven't been dead or anything, just working for the man.  And by that, I mean me, because I am the man.  Or A man, really - one of many.  Gosh.

Anyway, I'm working in NYC today - my last of five days here.  Survived the hurricane-that-wasn't (at least wasn't-in-New-York), and survived the process of installing new hardware here at MWS.

What else?  PCW work has been coming along slowly-but-surely, and by the time I get home, I should have shirts in production, gear out to rent and stencils waiting at the house for me to paint all over our gear.  Fun!  Now all we need is more work and someone to help me organize it all, and we'll be golden.  Oh, and some new hardware and a case or two.  But definitely more work.

I've been trying to go to the beach when I've been in LA, although the clouds haven't always cooperated, and have been trying to shoot for my tattoo book, although CraigsList hasn't always cooperated.  I'll actually try to get a post made from here before I leave today, which might help matters some.  I might also make my assistant post there as well, to try to set meetings with folks for this week.  Then we can start in September (fun times!) and make things happen.  Casey had a good idea for me to try out, but I'm afraid it'll cost a bunch of money and it'll be a long time before I can make it back, if I ever do.  I'd like to try it because it's a good idea.  We'll see.

Bigger version of this same picture after the break.

Since I've been home, I've been in one of those situations where I have so much to do that I literally have no idea where to start, so of course, I haven't been doing anything.  Okay, that's not true.  I've done lots of the easy stuff, the cleaning, the laundry and the organizing that's the base for building up to doing actual work, but then it's been too easy to stop there and let my mind wander.  Let's say that I haven't added much blue to my Excel sheet in the last few days.

To that end, I've discovered that my IP address (and maybe my account) is banned on Craigslist, so no more trying to cast Branded models (I've updated the website a little since I've been back) or sell computer crap there.  Dumb. I've sent them a message, but I'm sure no one will ever see it, so I'm effectively banned from CL until my IP changes (and even then who knows).  Okay, whatever.  I do have a shoot scheduled for tomorrow, which is exciting, since it's the first step towards working on my creative endeavors I'll be taking since I've gotten home.

The real work I'm getting into now is getting the PCW storage ready for the influx of returned gear that'll be happening in early September.  I need to be buying Metro shelving, containers for connectors, cable organizers, etc., etc., etc., and getting that stuff installed and configured before more crap gets put in place.  Add to that the other tech stuff and potentially cases I need to be buying and there's suddenly quite a bit of new stuff that'll be infusing PCW in the near future.

That's it for now - pictures and such will follow later.  I'm planning on taking some to update the PCW website with.
