More kitten spam just because I felt like whipping my camera out for a minute…

The iPrint

Jacopo — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:05:28 +0000

I’m so excited. Apple has just released a preview of it’s new iPrint. Finally a printer that looks good, is completely compatible with all my hardware and will just work instead of 5 hours of screaming and troubleshooting. Apple claims that the design is almost perfectly silent, prints 11 pages per minute and the ink cartridges are loaded into the back so you don’t chance mucking up the print heads. It connects via bluetooth and wifi so no need for oddly shaped cords; Plug it into the power and it’s ready. Apple says the device will be available for purchase in early March but you can preorder through their website in a couple weeks.

What’s your story?

I’m addicted to stress…

Okay, still not done with all the other crazy stuff I’ve got going on for the site, but while I’m at it, take a gander at some shots from my recent work. One for for an upcoming indie film called Dr. G. Look it up. The other shoot was an It Gets Better campaign show featuring the talented Colton Ford and Amanda Lepore. Enjoy!

For the benefit of Mister Portfolio…

Ok, these aren’t my best copies but they are already exported so here’s a couple shots from one of my recent shoots as prototype finished images. Hope you like them!

A comparison…

So, I like to doodle out my photo ideas because if i don’t then I tend to forget them. I wanted to share one of these contrasted with the actual image I took just to show the similarities/difference. Some people have told me they look completely different and others have told me they look the same. Everybody agrees that I’m strange for doodling. Hope you think this is funny:

Sometimes I do strange things…

The other day I was browsing craigslist and found an ad for somebody looking for photographers willing to pretend to be papparazzi for a film. It paid $10. So of course I replied. I brought a buddy of mine and we and another photog had a great time. Here’s a few of the images I grabbed while there.
You can also see in the last image where I live as viewed from Manhattan. My giant apartment complex looks so little from like 3 miles away.

I CAN HAZ KITTEH!

I got a new kitty everybody!!! He’s freakin adorable! I’ve decided to name him Loki because I can tell already that he’s going to be trouble. In case you’re curious about his awesome coat, he’s a Snow Bengal. Which is to say that he’s part Snow Leopard and better than your cat! So yeah, Here’s some pics of his cute little face:

Smoke and Mirrors…

Jacopo — Tue, 10 May 2011 19:24:52 +0000

Last night I got to work creating step one of an image I’ve been mulling over for a while. Eventually I plan on working this into something larger but the results for now are fantastic. The smoke was made with a hookah and since there was only two of us we got dizzy pretty quick lol. That smoke wasn’t staying in place for very long at all, haha. Another fun tidbit is that the pics were all in color. they just look black and white. How cool is that? Check em out:
