06:23:11 – Baby Blues BBQ

We wanted BBQ tonight and BBQ is what we got.

06:22:11 – Summer Sun

We hit the Summer Solstice yesterday and luckily for us, the Sun got the memo. The last few days have been perfect!

06:21:11 – Rooftop Paparazzi

True Blood was having their season premiere red carpet event at the Arclight theaters across the street from my place. I went up to the roof that overlooks Sunset Blvd and took a few shots. I couldn’t ID any of the people, even in my closer shots, but judging by the screaming fans I’ll assume they were the stars of the show.

As a bonus, here is an oldie but a goodie of my old friend Dan playing a cover of Paparazzi by Xzibit on his acoustic guitar.

06:20:11 – 16mm Film Cans

The racks of rental 16mm films at the Echo Park Film Center. I don’t have a 16mm projector, but if I did, I would check out the JFK assassination film reel that I saw there. Seems like something that would have more impact on a 16mm film print.

 

06:19:20 – Dillon Beach

My dad, being the best dad ever, rented a beach house for the week and invited the family to come hang out and relax, and that’s exactly what we did. This is a view from the back balcony that overlooks the ocean. Happy Fathers Day Dad! It was a great weekend!

06:18:11 – Ham

06:17:11 – San Francisco

I’m not the hugest fan of San Francisco, but it sure is photogenic.

06:16:11 – Hog Island Oyster Company

My dad took us to the Hog Island Oyster Farm in Tomales Bay where we picnic’d, shucked, and barbecued fresh oysters farmed earlier in the day. I usually don’t order oysters because they are so expensive and you don’t really get much, but this was a lot of fun and it was relatively cheap for oysters since we went straight to the source.

06:15:11 – Fireplace

The fireplace at the beach house in Dillon Beach that my parents rented for the week.

06:14:11 – Speedometer

I modeled this Speedometer in Cinema 4D as part of a lower third design for a car piece I was working on. It was a fairly basic model made 100% in C4D including the numbers and the rest of the face. I was originally thinking of creating the tick marks and numbers in illustrator and then using that as a material but I figured it would be easier to do in cinema with mograph cloners and simple objects.

EDIT: I don’t know why I kept calling it a tachometer. It originally was going to be a tach, but I made it a speedometer instead and just kept calling it a tachometer in my head.
