You may have noticed (probably not), that I haven’t posted in about a week. In case this is your first visit to circuitbreaks, that is a rare occurrence. I usually post 4-5 times a week… What have I been doing? Well, I took some time off around Labor Day, saw some bands at ‘Bumbershoot‘, the [...]

I’m happy to report that I received my long awaited Canon EOS 7D in the mail from B&H Camera last Thursday and I’ve been tinkering with it ever since, despite a head cold and some pretty drippy and unusually cold weather (for August). Right out of the box I knew I had made the right [...] Last weekend I caught myself taking another randomly found mannequin photo while walking around the Fremont Sunday outdoor market (the top black and white image). Over time I’ve accumulated a few these mannequin shots, so I’ve decided to create a little Flickr photo set of them that I hope to expand upon. More beyond the [...] Here are some recent highlights from my ‘So Far Seattle’ photo set on Flickr. The city of Seattle continues to throw me amazing photo opportunities. I’ve been sticking to mostly urban shots lately but I plan to broaden my subject matter this summer by venturing into some of the amazing mountain parks and shoreline areas. I’ll keep [...] I was pretty busy over the weekend, trying to make some headway on my photography book project that I’m calling ‘So Far Seattle’. A few weeks ago I previewed a test print of the book and received a lot of positive response, feedback and tips on how to go about producing a more refined version. [...] I’ve been keeping a simple posterous iPhone pic blog for a while now. I like to post all the random day-to-day stuff that I come across, recently I’ve been posting sound clips from my guitar practice sessions as well… all in good fun. Those are three of my latest shots above. Lately my pic uploads [...] Being a new resident of the pacific northwest, I’ve started to discover a number of interesting cultural subtleties that are different from the east coast and the midwest where I have lived in the past. One of the little granular details that has caught my eye is the local love for the mini camper van. [...] A couple months ago I started up a ‘posterous’ blog and have been using it as an easy mobile upload platform for all my iPhone photos. I’m snapping daily and I’m often surprised at the image quality I’m getting from my iPhone, depending on the light and my ability to keep my hand steady (or [...] It’s been almost 3 months now since the big move to Seattle. My wife and I have done our best to get outside, explore the city while at the same time try to acclimate, find everything that was “professionally” but randomly packed + stay on top of our day jobs. We’ve been really lucky to have [...] I came across designer Patrick Molnar’s video game console archive site called ‘Consollection.de’ and thought it was pretty fun, simply designed and interesting. Not only does it reveal a bunch of gaming systems that I had no idea existed, it also gives us a nice eye shot of console industrial design trends over the past [...] A couple weeks ago I posted some of my night shots here on the blog. I’ve continued to take shots since then, now I am less focused on capturing streams of light in traffic and having a good time just capturing different subjects and forms of light in interesting composition. A little streaming light here [...] This is a great video documentary sponsored/produced by the stylish cycle gear company ‘Rapha’ called ‘Gentlemen’s Race Northwest’. The race consists of 23 teams and spans over 137 miles of scenic Portland countryside and is “Unsanctioned. Unmarshalled.”. The footage is really nicely captured and edited, unfortunately the equipment and music artist is unknown to me [...] Designer James Perse has come up with some pretty sharp surfboard/paddleboard designs as part of a limited edition collection. These boards are classically designed and hand shaped by one of SoCal’s most reputable retro shapers from the 60′s. Available in sizes 7ft through 9ft 6″ and in the three color options shown above (white, [...] This is yet another one of David Cooper’s classic bicycle gems from way back in 1974 (oh lord, my birth year, and probably holding up better than I am…). This 34 year old road frame is about as classy as can be and would be an amazing commuter bike for some lucky, smartly creased, [...] |
