Fare well.
Another year ends. Another year begins. The perpetual passage of time can be cruel; aging, deteriorating and slowly crumbling all the things we view as pillars in our lives. Respect them, and take a moment to slow down to treasure what you treasure. Yet, it’s time’s march that allows a kindled idea roar into a warming blaze. We hope 2012 finds you well, resurrects your curiosities...

An accelerant
As 2011 is winding down, a look back reveals one very large moment at the end of September that something just clicked.  Pivoting on past wrongs, acknowledging ceilings, and desire for growth a mantra emerged…  “Have Honor.” Its at the top of every to-do list, every day, as a mindset and an action.

Mountain to Mohammed! Genius move!
Rockford’s largest print distribution source, The Rockford Register Star was part of a genius marketing ploy unlike I’ve seen in the past year. They ran a cover story pointing out mountains in the background of an advertisement promoting flights to Denver, Colorado out of the local airport, Rockford/Chicago International Airport (RFD) were in fact NOT from Colorado, but a range in...

Minimalist Cooking
“Get over yourselves.”  Neil DeGrasse Tyson on a related note: Minimalist Cooking. Welcome to Stonesoup – a blog about deliciousness. Food that tastes good and is good for us. The fact that most recipes here contain 5 ingredients and can be made in minutes is a bonus. I’m a big fan now of minimalist cooking. A recent recipe introduced me to the delight of a  Chicken Breast...

Identity.
It’s my firm belief that in order for people to buy in to a concept, they first have to know what they are buying in to. I’m starting down the path of launching a new product, and have been hesitant to sell it without proper identity. The concept is solid, and its something people will get behind. But I feel its best and easier to convince people to pay for a ticket if they know where...

Camer Amusing
For the past three years, my work has been suited for the HDSLR camera worthflow with Canon 5D and 7D, a few Canon lenses, a pair of Zeiss ZF lenses, and a hefty tripod with Zacuto support gear left over from the 35mm Adapter days. These have served well for the head and shoulder work most of my work has called for…  but with new cameras being released, the heavy prep-post workload has me starting...

Editing. The story.
The fun in editing is how to arrange the pieces. Many directors love working with collaborator editors, people they can bounce ideas off of. I tend to be one of these people in my day to day work, and I love it. The way you arrange pieces together can drastically alter tone of the story, and amplify simple subtle non-verbal cues to be as powerful as a fog horn.  On the deserted island (Yes, I...
