James Troi's Visual Diary

How brilliant is this film. And if you head over to YouTube you’ll see some great comments including this one from user BorgEntertainment.

Just imagine the guy standing there cranking the camera- changing the world with every turn. I’ll bet he had some idea of how color would impact the world. But, I bet he had no idea how nostalgic Kodachrome would later become… or what it would mean to so many people.

RIP Kodachrome, you had a good run.

Just beautiful.

Joseph Kahn is an inspirational person. He’s an awesome music video director and I have to say watching his stuff has my shutter finger fluttering more towards a much faster shutter movement.

This shot taken from his most recent video from Eminem and Rihanna song “Love the way you lie”.

The video as a whole is pretty cool. Not my favourite one of Joseph’s videos, but that’s manly because of the subject matter. I do enjoy it as a work of art.

Amazing process that Canon glass goes through before it becomes a lens. Part 2 and Part 3.

Is this the future of photography?

I wish I could make beautiful art like this, the mastery of depth of field, the stillness of the frame is just brilliant. J. Xavier Velasco’s use of light is inspiring. The story telling is unique.

I have a friend who is a video editor, he is keen for me to start using the video on my 5D MKII more, I’ve tinkered with a few tourist things. He thinks we can work together to make some great art. Perhaps it is something I should look into more.
