Sword or Laser

I had the pleasure of shooting @veronica and @acedtect this week for their show Sword and Laser podcast. This is my 2nd time photographing coworkers. Last time was for @omgchad and his new hair color beginning of 2012. I'm still learning about how to shoot people. I have no problems with landscape and still life since I don't have to direct them and just take them as they are. It's definitely a learning process and is literally different every time (unless you're shooting the same person..obviously.. )

Lytro

I had the pleasure of interviewing CEO and Founder Ren Ng of Lytro last year. 
Here's the short video we shot.

Rained out

Part of polishing my photography is to take as much photo as I can. 
I refuse to be rained out by foul weather.  This was taken through a wet windshield which contributed to the glowy dreamy haze.

First of the year

Happy New Year for all you Chinese people out there.
It's been too long since I updated this blog. All my time has been taken up with work. Either that or my rekindled passion with photography.
I got some new photo gears and I'm ready to build a stronger portfolio. Now I'm experimenting with MFT (micro four thirds) and I'm really digging using manual lenses. The Voigtlander Nokton 25MM 0.95 is really quite something else. It doesn't look impressive since it's so small but it's built like a tank and the 0.95 is crazy fast. I'll do a separate review on the lens after more use with it.

Still working on In Other News with Iyaz. It's a work in progress but not an official podcast. I'm pretty much almost in all the episodes of Before You Buy. The Nikon J1 was rushed together and took 5 times longer to edit than record. I need to storyboard the next camera review and really get on top of my reviews. I hope I get to review all the cameras that we get for BYB. My next victim just arrived, Nikon AW100 :)

What's my New Year resolutions? Be better at what I do in every aspect of my life. Work on my writing and blogging. I should really leave Twitter alone since it just doesn't promote or encourage any train of thoughts longer than 2 sentences.

Do I need a sign off? I should just end by stop writing...

Here's the full review of the Nikon J1

Update on Google Music, Google Listen

After my brief rent of Google Music's lack of intelligence and it's ability to remember playhead location, I got numerous of suggestions to use other podcatchers and Google Listen.
Here's my slightly longer follow up to Google Music.
