Seattle This Weekend!

I hop a plane on Friday to see Seattle for the first time! Shockingly, this is the very first time I've ever booked a flight for something non-work related. Should be fun!

Kodak Zi8 Test

I recently bought the Kodak Zi8 for some on-the-go shooting. I've had it for nearly a month and I finally got some time this weekend to take it out for a test shoot. Here are the results:

Zi8 Test - New York Park from Emilio Martinez on Vimeo.

If you're looking to have a inexpensive compact HD cam, I highly recommend checking this thing out. The camera can shoot in 1080p, and 720p / 60 FPS. It doesn't come with much on board memory, but it accommodates to SD memory cards. I have a 16 GB inside right now, and I haven't come close to filling it yet. This does a pretty good job holding up to my Panasonic HPX-170 for about 5% of the cost. You can check out my HPX-170 test here.

No Shave November: Week 1 Status.

It's that time of the year, kiddos! No Shave November is just kicking off. Here's my current situation after week one:

This is my second year going for the Grizzly Adams look in November, and thus far I think I'm off to a decent start. I'm off to a much dirtier start compared to last years, I've already achieved pre-teen woodsman in the early stages. I really can't grow a beard, but I swear I'm trying my hardest here. Stay tuned for weekly photo updates of the situation at hand. And don't miss the grand finale at the start of December: The Creeper Stache...
