Little Johnny's

Grafton, New York

Great riding this week. Fall has taken hold of the Northeast. The late summer has been virtually rain free leaving the bulk of area singletrack dry and fast. Add a sprinkling of leaves to the mix and you get classic autumn riding conditions. Wanting to take advantage, I headed out for a few orbits around Grafton this week. Shot some video from a handlebar mount as filler for some of the projects I am currently editing. The lack of mounting options made me rethink some of the factory mounts that ship with the V.I.O. POV. The result was a prototype that protects the camera head in closed cell foam and ABS plastic, guides the video cable safely out of the way, and provides an infinite configuration of mounting options. The ABS can be drilled and dremeled for any application. [Below] Check out the announcement posted on R7 Studios Newswire below:


R7 Studios has developed a tripod mount for the V.I.O. POV1. Ideal for stationary shots triggered with the camera remote, the Diabolis POV Tripod Mount 1.0 encases the camera head in closed cell foam and ABS plastic. Off the tripod, the mount can be lashed to almost anything. Targus Gypton XL Tripod included.

Troy in Miniature

Shot this from the large TROY sign in Prospect Park with a LensBaby 2.0. Actually, I shot about 30 of them because the LensBaby is so unpredictable. The rangefinder effect was achieved by not compressing the lens and a lot of trail and error.

Manchester, Vermont

I love hoakey Halloween displays. Love everything about Halloween. Love bad horror movies once a year, like Adrienne Barbeau in the original version of The Fog. Love watching normal people turn into freaks. Getting a glimpse into people's repressed, wishful secret identities by what they choose as a costume. Love the randomness, like being able to drive through downtown Albany and see the droogs from A Clockwork Orange skulking down North Pearl. Almost makes me want to dust off the first White Zombie CD and anything by Glenn Danzig.

Great shoot on Sunday. Deserted rooftop deck of a parking garage. Surrounded by 18th century roof lines and spires. From up high, the city seemed deserted. The atmospherics were dead on too. Sunny, but not direct light. Just enough to saturate the colors and fill out details.

EMPAC with Beam

Troy, New York

Troy is inhabited by one million crows. Standing on the rooftop deck of the 5th Avenue parking garage, the only evidence of their existence is the sound of hundreds wings creating lift. The black on black hides all detail, only their sound gives them away. Hundreds pass only a few feet above the rooftops. Bodega Bay was far more sinister at night. Hitchcock knew it.

In Chinese mythology, it is believed that the world once had 10 suns that were controlled by 10 crows. Crops were scorched and and rivers evaporated. To combat the crows' effect on their environment and quality of life, the Chinese sent in their greatest archer, Houyi, to shoot all but one of the birds. Well, they are back with a vengeance and most of them are living in Troy.
