Video of the Week: Splitscreen

Splitscreen by JW Griffiths.  Shot completely on an Nokia N8 phone.  Which is weird.  If only my nokia was as good as a phone as the N8 shoot movies.

Zarna II

I photographed my friend Zarna again for a themed shoot this time.  I had my eye to photograph this seedy hotel in Nashville.  It was a cheap hotel that looked very shady, but had beautiful teal railings with yellow speckled walls.  I thought it would be a great place to do a shoot with her.  You can see more on my flickr.


Thanks again Zarna.

Video of the Week: The Greeks

"Is Tropical" by the Greeks is an awesome video representing of a boy's imagination, super gory fun.  The video is directed by Megaforce.  Who also directed a 'Video of Week' pick, Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness."

Windy City

 I visited Chicago for the first time a couple weeks ago.  Amanda and I had such an amazing time.  We booked a great hotel, went shopping, ate a ton of food.  The Chicago weather did damper the photographic experience.  A cold snap came by and gave us rain, 40 degree weather and, of course, WIND.  Here are some of the snapshots I did take while at Second City.

Barbara Fritchie Restaurant

I drove Frederick, MD last week for a wedding.  One of my friends suggest that we get brunch at this old diner with a candy cane sign.  I had to check it out.  It was fun little spot in Frederick.

Last Doughboy

Frank Buckles, the last surviving World War I U.S. veteran, passed away last night. I had the privilege of photographing Mr. Buckles several times during my times at The Journal.

Buckles lived in a gorgeous home outside of Charles Town, WV. He was one of the most fascinating person I have ever photographed.

This is a shot when, then, Governor Joe Manchin honored Buckles at his home in 2007.
