after months of hard work, AKQA’s site for the new halo:ODST has gone live. the project spanned multiple countries (my flickr set from the hungary shoot), conquered many industry-first challenges (including smooth streaming within silverlight and as-yet unannounced partnerships), and exhibits very clean design in a really cool interface. i was able to operate many [...]

the san francisco supercross was last saturday. i took the opportunity to pull out my lensbaby 2.0 and grab some shots. i have a feeling that, much like HDRI, tilt-shift will no longer be an art-form of only those with high budgets and intricate equipment and will soon be everywhere. so i’ll enjoy it while [...]

ABC’s soap opera/family drama “dirty sexy money” about money being the root of all evil, starring peter krause (from “six feet under”), donald sutherland, william baldwin, and samarie armstrong (tell her to call me, thanks), has recently (and wisely) featured bubbly. take a gander.
