School is gradually becoming less difficult to go to. Once the reason to watch the clock tick away in drudgery, it’s now beginning to meld once again into the fabric of my existence. It’s just another reason to get out of bed. Thankfully, I have my classes scheduled (for the most part) toward the beginning [...]

It took me 6 hours to finish Mirror’s Edge, the game that I’ve been gouging my eyeballs out with anticipation for. It ended up, as I had expected it to, being one of those games that I would recommend if you’re like myself, and chances are, you’re not. Judging by what I have observed, very [...]

I think this is my first post since moving back to the homestead; I actually had a draft prepared a couple of days ago, but I scrapped it once I started scanning more film stuff in. I’ve been in this weird “I’m going to shoot exclusively film” phase for the past few weeks. I suppose [...]
Game Daze, Part 2

Nobody wants to hear me talk about games (scroll down to the last paragraph if you don’t want to, but really care about reading what I have to say), but here we go:
I keep playing the new Prince of Persia because, like Bioshock, Portal, and the Devil May Cry series (sans 2 and 4), it’s a [...]

I’ve been shooting outside my Tmax-400-pushed-to-1600 zone of comfort on the Hasselblad. I’ve been looking for a film that would match up a little differently with the camera’s optics. I’ve chosen to take the Tri-X route, since I’ve been hearing from everybody that I “owed it to myself” to try it out. The results have [...]
Movie Daze, Part 2
Posted in Movie Daze, tagged l'enfant, movies on January 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
L’Enfant is another minimalist foreign drama that, amongst other minimalist dramas, has captured my heart. This is quickly turning into my absolute favorite style of cinema. I’m a huge fan of raw, transparent cinematography and unbelievably realistic acting. The soundtrack exists as nothing but the background noise of the rather depressed-looking city in which the film [...]
Game Daze

Of all the really good games that came out these past few months, the only one which has really stuck with me has been the new Prince of Persia game. It’s the kind of game that is worth playing just because, like Assassin’s Creed and Killer 7,it stands out and takes risks. Despite the flaws [...]
Movie Daze

The movie “Crash,” as fine as it is, seems a little blatant. That’s not to say that blatancy is unnecessary; everything just seemed to happen flat-out too close to the beginning. The editing is a little confusing to trudge through, but once you understand the movie’s use of catalysts, and how they set up the [...]
Avast! New photos!

Yay! Finally got some new stuff up on the Flickr. I found some extra stuff left over from Santa Cruz lying around the other day, so I printed some of those up. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to scan contact sheets while I was down there. I did get some quick final prints from my Hasselblad [...]
