I'm a video editor and colorist. This blog serves as a repository for anything that interests me, both inside and outside the film and television industry. Happy browsing!

Sea Change

I feel like taking this blog in a different direction, but I’m still choosing which route to take. You see, I haven’t really been interested in reblogging other people’s posts lately - but I’m sure you figured that out a long time ago. That being said, do I want to make it more about post-production? Or do I want to deal with more personal subject matter? And by personal, do I mean sharing my life, or sharing my personal viewpoints on the issues of the day?

I just feel a need to tighten up the focus of this blog, and fashion it into a powerful tool I can wield at will. Once I’ve sussed that out, you’ll know… and I’ll try to be fascinating.

In Focus: The Colors of Holi 2012

Around the world, Hindus are celebrating Holi, the Festival of Colors. Holi is a popular springtime celebrations observed on the last full moon of the lunar month. Participants traditionally throw bright, vibrant powders at friends and strangers alike, celebrating the arrival of Spring, commemorating Krishna’s pranks, and allowing everyone a momentary freedom — a chance to drop their inhibitions and simply play and dance. Gathered in this collection are images of this year’s Holi festival from across India and several other countries.

If I’m in any position to experience this beautiful festival next spring, I’ll be there. I hope so, anyway.

Happy Birthday, Kurt. I honestly wonder sometimes what you’d think of the state of today’s music industry, provided you were still among us.

My favorite internet discovery of the week is David Lee Roth’s Vimeo channel, as well as the fact that he spends some of his free time playing semi-professional shepherd in the hills north of Los Angeles.
