Major Lazer - "Hold The Line" ft. Mr. Lexx and Santigold

Weird 80's style cartoon video for this new song from Major Lazer. Featuring vocals by Santigold. Can't go wrong with Santigold...

This is a small section of a wall painted with some amazing graffiti art near my home. There's a ton of awesome details in this image, luckily my shiny new camera seems to up to the task.

This long-exposure turned out pretty cool! The orange looks good on that dark blue, I think.

My latest contribution to the world of photographies.

Little Flamingo

This lovely photo of Alexander Calder's sculpture Flamingo was taken from the top of the Sears Tower by Katie Scully. The perfect straightness of the buildings give it a cool designed edge, but the warm colors add a friendliness and playfulness to the photo. Basically, it rocks. 'Flamingo' is one of my favorite sculptures, but, I gotta say, the name is awful, sorry Alex.

Again with the shrinkify effect, more commonly known as 'tilt-shift.' This is a photo from Hubbard Street in Chicago, right behind Michigan Avenue. I did some pretty complex masking in Photoshop to simulate a tight focus. Look at the tall lamp post on the right and you'll see what I'm talking about...
