180° South

Last night I watched the documentary 180 South. Available on Netflix watch-it-now.
The movie was very good. It makes me want to pack up and travel without looking back. Patagonia looks like an amazing place and hopefully one day I could visit. While the movie was good, the soundtrack was spectacular. Most of the songs were by Ugly Casanova and James Mercer with songs by Jack Johnson, Mason Jennings, and Love As Laughter. Below are two of my favorite songs from the soundtrack available on iTunes.


Bottled Food Sculptures by Tom Davie

These are disgustingly fabulous.
"Repackaged food products that utilize the original contents and prepare them for consumption."

A rant and a praise - San Francisco, CA

Recently, I was on a shoot in San Francisco and needed some equipment. Nothing special or too unique but something that Wal-Mart wouldn't carry. I've order a ton of stuff from Calumet, so naturally I tried their local store first. It was a huge mistake. The staff was rude and un-knowledgeable when it came to anything. After wasting my time there, I tried Best Buy as a last resort, but was out of luck.

Then I found Adolph Gasser Photography on a search. This place wasn't big, but had a ton of equipment and accessories. The staff was more than knowlegable and helpful. Mark Schiffner helped me get what I need and was out the door quickly. I highly recommend stopping by on your next trip to San Francisco if you need anything. You won't be disappointed.
