Music Mixed: A Pairing of Cocktail & Song
Featuring “The Pendergast” & Mark Lowrey’s “133w” In this industry we’re constantly pairing things together… the right drink with the right meal, the right drink with the right person, the right drink with… well you get the picture. I’d even argue that we as human beings are constantly trying to pair things together; perhaps part [...]
Canon C300 vs 5D Mark III vs 4K DSLR vs the Sony NEX FS700… WHAT DO I DO!?
The photo above is one of the FIRST shots after buying my Canon 5D Mark II in September of 2009… A LOT has changed since then. So for those of you who may or may not be following the world of Digital Video… there’s a LOT going on right now. Canon alone has introduced two [...]
High ISO (film speed) & Shooting in Low Light.
Shooting under low light can present a whole number of challenges, both for photo and video work. In fact the ability to shoot under these conditions was one of the main determining factors for my choosing the Canon 5d Mark II as my camera. At the time I picked it up, it was showing some [...]

So I thought it appropriate to take a moment out, and detail some of the gear I currently own, what I’d really like to snag (because I OBVIOUSLY don’t have enough… ), and what 2010 has been so far, and what it might have in store for me! Onward! The Gear: First off, I’m now [...]

some recent photos… Russian Circles & Mark Lowrey / Radiohead Interpretation
So I’ve been a busy little bee as of late. Somewhat remiss that I haven’t had a chance to update www.sip2drink.com especially considering I left it hanging on a “1 of 2″ post on an event that’s come and gone. Oops. Time’s a shifty s.o.b.
