Macro Wide Tilt
I recently picked up this Neewer wide angle/macro lens for dirt cheap. I figured what the hell, how bad could it be? Being set back on the T3i, I didn't have a lot to spend so this was right up my alley. I didn't see Neewer around last time I owned a T3i. At that time Bower made some good cheap flashes. I just picked up a Neewer flash and ir remote for cheap also. I took these shots before going to bed last night. I dig the lens. The wide angle lens has a tilt-shift dreamy effect to it. The macro has an extremely shallow depth of field which will definitely require a lot of control to use it for video. I had these 2 lenses attached to my nifty 50 f1.8. I had to use a Bower 52-58mm adapter ring to attach this lens. I definitely see this adding a new dimension to my videos soon. Let me know what you think in the comments.

New World
So I told you the other week that some big things were changing around me. At least things I perceived as big. I got rid of my truck and got something more fuel efficient. Meet Darth Honda! It's the phantom Menace of family vehicles cause the bitch is blacked out! My brother gave me a kick ass Darth Maul figure to put on the dash (pics soon, like you care right?)
I got this Washburn Dimebag 333 guitar during Christmas (present from my brother). I've wanted one of these since they came out. It's everything I've wanted it to be. Since my brother is going back to Cali soon I knew I would be tracking my own bass lines soon so i bought a 5 string bass so I can tune low (and kick ass). These instruments are so sick and the money I saved on these instruments allowed me to get my fav camera back (Canon T3i). How you think I took these pics?
Needless to say I'm gonna be broke for a while. the note on the CRV isn't bad though. The gas mileage and note are barely more than I was paying in just gas for the 2001 Silverado. The Silverado was a bit more spacious but everything has a season. Try to roll with it.
The pollen is bad here right now. Can you see it on the hood?
So serious... i farted right after the shutter opened on this one.
In no particular order..
Your guitar is now a bass!
I liked these pics, so you had to endure them. It beats your duck face pics on facebook... I'm pretty sure.

Different feels so different
Not to say different is bad. Taking on difference just requires an open mind. Part of my immediate world changing is me aquiring my T3i again. I love this camera. Had to sell it a while back to move to Mandeville. I love the new trend that is light painting. This camera allows me to do everything I could dream of. The canon T3 is a turd, don't waste your time. Do some research.
The canon T3i allows me to film at higher frame rates while at higher resolutions than more cost efficient cameras.
Back on topic. I will try to post on the major differences in my life lately, tomorrow (with pics). We (Carly and I) did some light painting photography this weekend. i won't post the pics I took of her cause i don't know how comfortable she is with them yet. She's only seen them on the 3 inch lcd on the camera which is not as intimate as what you are viewing it on most likely. So you get to look at me, alone.

Life changing
It's funny how it feels like some physical things define you. i have a full size chevy truck I have enjoyed for a few years now along with a red Ibanez electric guitar and an acoustic guitar.I feel like objects subtly coerce us to do things a certain way. Depending on how I am seated in a vehicle I will drive faster or slower. I liked driving fast in my truck. My red ibanez pulled me towards sliding octave riffs and full out shred lead guitar.
I've never sold two objects that I have so much interest in at the same time. Never wanted to. Everything changes eventually. I find myself in a new life now, like a newly formed planet with planets shifting suddenly most of the time with little notice. If you have ever experienced this "re-inventing" by choice or not you find your priorities/wants/needs change quickly also. So of course these objects will have to be replaced with something more tailored to who I am now. I think I found them too. I'll post them once I get them. Anyway, goodbye old friends.

I'm almost duped at Midas
So I go to get my brake pads changed and the guy at Midas says he can't do it because the hub is loose and it will cost 700 dollars to fix it. I actually started to believe him because he had this tone of "from one mechanic to another". I know a good bit about cars and am never afraid to hop under my car and fix something. I do some reading in my Haynes manual for my truck and find that the hub and bearing assembly is "sealed-for-life" and the whole thing needs to be replaced as one. So I call Autozone and get a price on. You won't believe it........$72 dollars!
1 hour later the part is installed on my truck.

WPA cracking?!
A new open source tool called Reaver can crack WPA in most instances because of a weakness Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). WPS uses a hard coded pin when making WPS connections. Therein lies it's fault. A strong password should be used with any type of wireless encryption. Cisco Valet and Linksys routers seem to be definitely vulnerable because while the the web interface for the router says you have turned WPS off, it remains on. The best protection seem to be to flash your router's firmware to DD-WRT. I'm guessing Tomato would probably work really well too.
If your Router is not able to be flashed to a different firmware then contact your local nerd in the next few months and pay them to get you a different router and flash it for you and have them explain how to use the web interface. Learn how to check your network logs for the latest activity.
I enjoy breaking wifi encrypted signals when I can. I choose not to enter someone's personal home network because it is illegal and I'm frankly not really interested in anything on their network.
Stay safe. Stay private. Stop posting your crap on facebook.

Happy Christmas, New Year, it's ya birfday.
Crazy 11days off of work. I got a lot done. I'll post some pics below. Went and saw BTE at Harrah's on New Year's eve's eve. Popped Fireworks (just sparklers) with the girls. Went to Audubon zoo with the girls. Saw a Gabon viper and a 2 headed snake among other creatures. Shot a music video. Mixed down my first song with some help from my brother Joel. Changed pickups in my new guitar. Received a case of 5 hour energy for Christmas, maybe why my holiday went by so fast. Made Pomegranate martinis for Carly and I. Washed and waxed my truck and got it inspected. When I went over the Causeway the drive was surreal. There were no clouds over the water and the water was calmer than I have ever seen it. I know it's silly but it just looked so freakin' cool. I tried to take a pic, picture quality sucks cause I was more focused on driving. That's all I can think of at the moment.
Better than Ezra
Happy New Year from Joaney

She already knows Rattlesnakes are probably bad.

I hope I remembered to put the camera in my back pocket before the camera started rolling.

Let this light lead your way in the new year.
