Like the title says just a quick tripod phone adapter for time lapse made from trash and cardboard. When filming or building I try to reuse as much of the left over or junk parts to scratch build other things. This bit of ghetto film tech will probably last a while and I didn't have to waste time 3d printing it or spending any money to get another adapter.
If you have done something similar share it because I want to see what you built!

VLOG: Kauai exploration, vacation, and photo shoots /
My latest trip off again to Hawaii this time visiting Kauai for the first time. I wanted to check out the filming location from Jurassic Park and do some time in those spots to photograph and work on a few ideas. It was a great time and I met some really awesome people and went to some really awesome spots. I wish I could have captured them all but I was either working a photo location or just trying not to get hurt and forgot to film them.
I definitely will be back there is a few abandoned spots and some rougher hikes that I want to prep for and bring a different gear roll out.
Feeling the 90's /
Feeling the 90's in testing and getting gear ready for a photoshoot later today. I like making up fun characters and thought it would be fun to totally channel one of my old high school friends. #photography #inthestudio
Trying Something New /
So I decided to try something new and invest a ton of time into video and try and figure out how that all works and as a way to show off some of my other stuff I do and put together between art projects. I have been wanting to get into video for a while and have been working on teaching myself the full process of lighting, acting, video, and editing you know in my free time. :D
I am experimenting with different styles and flows trying to figure out what works so it will be a little bit before I get a regular video upload schedule. But until then check out my new channel and the work I have been doing.

lvl23 Studios Art show (photos) /
A few weeks ago the artists in my building (including me) had opened their studios up to visitors who will have a chance to see art in progress or completed. There was painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking, mixed media arts, fashion design and metal arts and glass arts.
It was an awesome event and I am really happy that everyone got a chance to come, it was a blast seeing everyone. I managed to take some photos during the day and also managed to get some 30sec portraits.
Thanks again you all are the reason I keep doing and making!
Head on over and Check out the images!
Update: Wizards and Beyond! /
After I kicked off this project I felt like this project could be much larger so I am making some changes and looking to expand the project! I am also looking at adding multiple cites and extending out the dates as well as this turing into a full photo book! As the weeks roll on I am hoping to possible get some interesting locations and partners that might be joining this adventure.
From the projects subsite:
I want to extend this out to what ever nerdy interest that you have because this project is really about showing self expression and how you want to represent it. This really isn't about costumes or Cosplay but more about how you would visualize and express yourself as a character or a love of of that nerdy thing.

Who wants to be a Wizard, fuck you I am Wizard and you can too! /
For me December is a month where I celebrate my own kind of holiday, a wizard kind holiday. Many years ago around this time of year I started watching wizard type movies and lounging with a hot cup of tea because why not. Suddenly this became a thing that I have done for close to 10 years and now every winter time I cant resist watching Potter or Gandalf do their thing.
To celebrate this I put together a fun project that I want to involve you in. I want to shoot some really great photos of my friends that captures them in their own favorite Wizard style.
Adventures in Europe /
Recently I was over in Europe for work and I was lucky enough to have some free time to go and see a few things. Since I knew I would be able to walk to work in the locations that I was in I was excited that I would have the opportunity for some street photography. It's somthing I'm still learning how to do and feel more comfortable with. On my free days I decided to mix in a little urban exploration and see what I could find and try to not get in to much trouble. I went a little crazy in Paris but I thought it was worth it. My cameras did great both the X Pro 1 and the X100s, handled great and had no issues while the were in use.
Street art art was a big focus while I was in France and I saw some pretty amazing stuff.
There were several of these on the walls and it was pretty clean for stencil work. What doesn't show in the picture is all of the glitter covering the surface.
Awesome sharpie work.
Alley after alley of amazing work.
All in all it was a fantastic trip and I looking forward to getting back on the road again soon. Especially when you get view like this.
