Don’t Look Now

Typical Panamanian move. Make a hustle wherever you can. During Carnival, this place charges different prices for using their bathrrom and going, well, number one, number two, or the whole enchilada. Hahahaha….

Went to Carnival in Panama this year. Basically, Carnival is four days of parties, parades, drinking, art, folkloric music and traditonal dancing. Think Burning Man meets Daytona Beach.

BUT!…during the day, each town in Panama have ‘culecos’, or big street parties, which makes our spring break look like a church trip. Its basically a giant water fight, with industrial water tankers, dj’s, half naked girls, and hard alcohol. Oh yeah, and its packed with 10,000 drunk people by 8am every day. My Canon 5D, replete with garbage bag and rubberband protector, barely made it out alive.

I only took my camera out in Penenome, as I was shooting something for the AP. As I can’t post those photos, here are some other shots.

Greetings from Panama! I visited Veracruz, a small beach town just outside of Panama City with my friend Tito Herrera the other day. These are just some snapshots of the visit.

Tito is a great Panamanian photojournalist, and I’ve been so glad to make friends with him. There is a tight knit group of shooters here in Panama, and a lot of talent to boot. Things look good….

Shot on a SplitCam with Fuji Superia 400.

This is my first attempt with this toy camera I got called a SplitCam. It basically has blinders that you can click into place over each half of the lens, and then take two pictures per frame of film. I’d seem some amazing work by some friends of mine who’ve got em, and on the web there seems to be a cult around this little camera. The thing is a piece of crap though ($12 retail). I had to tape the back to block out light and there are scratches all over the film. Light leaks and weird marks are artistic, right?

After doing a few multimedia video assignments this summer at a newspaper I was at, I’ve really gotten into shooting video. I recently got my own gear, and was eager to give it a go around. We recently had a big swell, so I decided to shoot the surfers down at Miramar beach for practice.

For those of you that are dreading video at your jobs and internships (you know who you are!), go out and try to do personal video shooting. You might be surprised to come around on it.

A surfer at C Street Beach. Ventura, CA.
Feels like it’s from the 1980’s or something. I dig it!

Kenny Burnside performs at the Blue Fugue in Columbia, Missouri. Kenny is the grandson of legendary delta bluesman
R.L. Burnside. If you like roots rock or juke joint blues, go see this guy. He’s unreal.
Goes to show ya it pays to bring the camera out on Friday night sometimes…

Chelsea Knudsen, 17, of Danville, Kentucky, practices her lasso technique on the horns of a wooden “practice bull”, used to warm up before roping steers in rodeo competitions. Chelsea, and her mother Paula, right, practice roping in on their farm outside of Danville to keep their skills sharp for competitions.
