Radiohead…
August 24th, 2008 by Danny
The most amazing thing I’ve ever witnessed. Mind blown easily for the next few years. After years of trying to see them in concert, I got my chance. $650…worth every penny.
Errthang’s bigger in ‘merica
August 12th, 2008 by Danny
Ok so if you saw the men’s finals in the Olympics gymnastics, I’m sure you noticed the cocky, arrogant, and flat out dumb sounding American team. I was frankly embarrassed.
After every routine they’d go rushing back to their little corner, loud as shit, saying things like, “Yeah baby, show them what America’s about!”, “Number one baby!”, and my personal favorite,”Yeah that’s right, that’s how we do!” I mean fuck, what happened to being humble? I can understand being excited and proud, but shit man, you look like a god damn fool rushing back to your team acting like a toddler, way to represent your country. You see these other teams do their routines and go back real humble, some high fives, hugs, “good jobs”, and that’s it. Real professional-like. Nope not good old ‘Merica. “This is how we do?” come on, that sounds stupid no matter what the circumstance, especially coming from any of those guys.
Why is this such a bother? Well all the talk and loudness, aside from being silly (retarded), sets you up for failure. In this case, the American’s put out this message, “Yeah going to show them what America’s about. Be on top, put down some scores, then make some stupid mistakes, and pretend it’s ok because we weren’t shooting for the gold anyways, bronze baby! THAT’S how we do!” Right?
Like shit, either way, huge accomplishment. They should be very proud. But for fuck’s sake, show some class! You’re representing “representin” your country, don’t make yourselves look like fools. I’m honestly surprised the coaches didn’t put them on check for that. Being humble goes a long way, especially when you fuck up and drop two places.
P.S. Phelps is a fucking robot! Kudos to that dude. And thanks Kat for that perfect title.
The Mine Hike
July 30th, 2008 by Danny
["Fuck Rambo!"]
We went hiking again with Dave. This time to a place he had already gone too. You see, a few weeks back Dave went on a hike and sent me a picture off his phone that looked like some sort of mine shaft. After confirming that, we decided that we needed to make the trek.
Dave decided to bring his camera, so I did too (of course) but it was a strict 50mm lenses only trip. We didn’t go insane with the photo taking since the primary purpose was to do this hike, but we got some cool stuff.
P.O.T.D: Unexpected Caller
July 27th, 2008 by Danny
Received an interesting call today. Wish I could say it was bullshit, but nope. Received a call from 666, answered the first time, heard some breaths. Then I got a second call. Managed to get a shot. Was I scared? Yes.
P.O.T.D: Bald Eagle
July 25th, 2008 by Danny
These things will tear your ass up!! They are enormous. I shot this at a little zoo in Big Bear where they keep injured animals. They had three Bald Eagles. This one was blind. You can’t really tell in this picture but it’s really big! As tall as your average 5 year old if not a little taller. he came up to about my belly button. I can’t even begin to imagine one of these swooping down to attack something. I always thought they were as big as your average hawk, but no. HUGE!
Podiumfest
July 24th, 2008 by Danny
["In the photobooth with new friends."]
I finally got around to getting together some images from Podiumfest 2008. Podiumfest was a rager held here at the main office to celebrate…something. I’m guessing it was a combination of having all the reps from around the world under one roof, and recession. The reasons don’t really matter though since it’s basically a night to get hammered.
It was definitely an amazing evening and the pictures do it absolutely no justice at all, but I tried my best to capture the
essence of the evening.
P.O.T.D: Coldplay
July 15th, 2008 by Danny
Coldplay played at the Forum tonight and it was amazing! Production value alone the concert kicked ass, but the band really puts on an amazing show. Our seats were in the back right next to the sound board, so it sounded amazing too. At one point the band ran up to the nosebleeds and performed from up there which was pretty rad. Oh, and right at the very end, confetti!
Lots of it. It was sick.
P.O.T.D: Radiohead
July 14th, 2008 by Danny
Thanks to David for pointing this out. Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards” was shot with lasers. Yes Lasers! That means that it’s all data, no video whatsoever. You can do awesome stuff like spin Thom’s face around real time. Check out the link.
It’s pretty awesome.
P.O.T.D: Frozen Fly
July 13th, 2008 by Danny
Canned air freezes things, like this fly. I started feeling bad about it until he thawed out and took off again. Pretty neat.
