Santa Cruz Roadtrip

For those of you who don't already know, my partner in crime, Joel, and i had a little 24 hour "roadtrip" this weekend. Joel's sister JUST had her second baby boy, and we journeyed up to Santa Cruz to shot little Micah. We left friday about 7pm ish, only to arrive in Santa Cruz around 2:30am... ish. Woke up, had breakfast, shot Micah, shot the whole fam, lunch and then back on the road. But we took MANY "creative liberties"/ photo ops along the way back. So please enjoy the MANY photos I've posted of our travels. (Baby pics to come soon) :)

Wall O' Shame

Have I got the post for you! At my place of employment we I've created something I like to call, the "Wall O' Shame". This "wall" consists of any materials that are just plain pathetic (i.e. bad printing, terrible graphic design, talking about how good your design is when it is in fact terrible, ugly websites, and of course BAD, with a "b", content). Now, I just can't keep this stuff to myself anymore, so as often as I find little nuggets of comedy, I will undoubtedly share it with all of you.

Today starts with a company in which I won't name (but you can see here) who Brizzle happened to stumble across yesterday. I am going to copy and paste a few short paragraphs below. I have NOT altered in any way this content; it is straight from their website (link above). What you are about read is real, and may contain content that will "hurt your head" (TH1). Please use precaution. :)

"Our goal is to express your vision exactly as you see it, whether it's online or in print. How do we do this? If it's an online presence, we do it by merging the best proprietary technologies, like Quicktime and Flash, with some of the best open source tecnologies like PHP and MySQL. But these are more than cold technologies in our hands. We literally breathe life into these bit and bytes. Your website not only goes live - it is alive!"

"Some of us have worked for multi billion - yes, billion, with a "b"- dollar corporations before coming to Ferreum Corporation. We have been trained in the traditional arts, multimedia, philosophy, architecture, programming and business. We bring all of these talents to bear when working to make you, your company or artistry come to life."

"'We really do take our clients seriously. As a matter of fact, we take you so seriously that when you sign up with us we won't give you an impersonal 800 number. We actually give you our own real phone numbers! When you have our home or personal cell phone number you always know who to call when you have a question concerning any of your projects we are designing.'"

Spring is here!

Hello, long time no post! Anywho, this past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting Mrs. Amy Pitt and family. Amy, her husband, Kevin, son Nathan, Brizzle, and myself went out to Pond Park in Murrieta, and basically played in the grass for an hour :) Being the white boy I am I left itchy (from the grass), and slightly pink (from the sun) because I haven't seen the massive burning star in months. Not because I'm a hermit, but soley for the reason that the sun has been MIA since November but just this past weekend decided to show up and be all hot and stuff. Anyway, peep some pics.

Crayon Physics

As most of you know, I'm one hard working and serious guy. In saying that, you should know about my newest, outstanding accomplishment. Just today I beat my new favorite game, Crayon Physics! I know, I know... "oh, Kenny... you're so amazing" I'm not going to lie... I am. But in all seriousness PLAY THIS GAME ! ! ! Do it! I mean how can you go wrong with a 2D, crayon drawn game, based on physics... (it's rhetorical) you can't! :)

Kidnapped for the Weekend

This past weekend I was "kidnapped" and taken to La Jolla. It was fantastical! (it's a word... look it up) Every time I visit that city it just makes me want to live there even more. I did grab a pic of a MUST anytime you're in La Jolla, The Living Room :) I hope everyone had an equally flawless weekend!

First Ever Composite

Last night was the Composite. Composite is an artist networking event hosted by Joel Beukelman and Threshold. It was fun being with a variety of artist and working together on a piece for the next Threshold series, Wild At Heart.

If you missed this last one be sure to come hang out and create next month.

angelsjonesphotography.net

The past couple months I've been helping my sister with the graphics for her photography company. We started with her logo and just yesterday I finished her website, angelajonesphotography.net. It was a fun process and slightly more challenging for me having to work with a more "feminine touch". Well, check it out and let me know what you think.
