A commercial for BSD’s new frame, the ‘WZA’ designed by Mike Taylor. Very clean and entertaining. Edited by Dave Sowerby.

Fluorescent Lighting
Just want to point this out: Fluorescent lights flicker at around 50Hz (50 flashes per second). This has a weird effect on cameras; if your shutter speed is above 1/50th, you will capture the flicker of the light. That is what happened to this video.
El Guincho – Bombay
This music video contains everything necessary to be awesome; good music, absurd humor, topless girls on BMX bikes, and even a skateboarding clip. It was filmed by spanish cinematographer Marc Gomez del Moral and produced by CANADA.
Flisheye Lens (Flip Fisheye?)
I stumbled across this gem the other day… It’s a tiny fisheye made for Flip cams and iPhones. It comes with little adhesive rings that I hope are strong enough. At least it works for this guy. Mine is in the mail, but I will post a review with some comparisons once it arrives. Buy it here for $16.75.
DQM ‘Eat Here Not There’

Digital Holga
Didn’t think this would ever happen. It’s just a concept right now, but it sounds like it will have multiple shutter speeds (from bulb to 1/2000) and have a removable top panel which will cater to the left-handed population. I’ve actually never thought about that until now… I don’t think I’ve ever seen a left-handed camera.
Michael Flomen
This is wild. He does a sort of on-site environmental photogram. He brings photo paper out into the night, cover it with animals and earth, then pops a flash to expose the paper. I’m guessing he packs the paper back up then takes it to the darkroom to develop. He would have to have a calculated distance and power for the flash to properly expose the paper without blowing it out or underexposing.
RideBMX archives
I spent some time last winter going through all of the old issues of Ride I have in my moms basement. I put some of the gems up on flickr.
