Happy Birthday Miles



"Kind of Blue" was my introduction to real Jazz music. That album changed the way I listened to music and will forever be, in my opinion, the greatest Jazz album ever recorded. If you have never had the privilege of listening to this album, do yourself a great service and go pick it up today, take it home, cook yourself a good meal, pour yourself a glass of the best wine you can afford, tune out all of your distractions and let this album sink into your soul. You will thank me for this later....

Canon 7D x Vincent Laforet

This camera has revolutionized film!


Photographer and now videographer, Vincent Laforet, has been taking videography to new limits with the works he has created with the Canon Mark II 5D and Canon 7D. He recently collaborated with Canon in a contest that pushes photographers to become videographers in “The Story Beyond the Still”. While a few scenes in his personal reel, featured above, were shot with a Red One, most of it was shot with a Canon 7D, including the helicopter scenes.

Banksy hits Toronto

Lena Horne June 30, 1917 - May 09, 2010

There is so much you can say about Lena Horne. She was a true pioneer who abided by no boundaries.She was an amazing talent whose contribution to the entertainment industry and society will be sorely missed.

“My identity is very clear to me now. I am a black woman. I’m free. I no longer have to be a ‘credit.’ I don’t have to be a symbol to anybody; I don’t have to be a first to anybody. I don’t have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I’d become. I’m me, and I’m like nobody else.” -Lena Horne

IT'S THE ROC?!?!?!? ( I told you)

For all of you who have followed my blog you may remember one of my first entries being about none other than Dame Dash. I told you I had a feeling that 2010 was going to be a big year for him and he would make a come back. Well he is back and has made a major move.For some reason he has always struck me as someone you can't count out. It's funny how things work out. Check out the news below....

Cody Chestnutt - "Come Back Like Spring"



Cody is a musical genius and he proves it over and over again. We will never understand why he chooses live his life in seclusion dropping gems like this sparadically once every year or so....maybe it's his way of putting his all in every song and cultivating it like an organic garden so that it is pure and untainted. Even after being sought after by some of the biggest music labels in the industry he has refused to compromise the integrity of his music for fame and fortune. Eventhough I along with many others long for another full length project from him, I can honestly say that I'm just as satisfied with one Cody Chestnutt song as I would be with a lot of artists entire catalogue....

A skill I wish to one day master


There is definitely an art to effectively using space in your home. This pic from architectural designers Louis Molina and Laurent Turin's "Echo House" is a media junky's heaven. The sliding door actually dubs as a projection screen for an HD projector. I long for a basement of this magnitude one day...
