CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

I’m fond of portrait photography. That being said I don’t really have the money or space to set up a good portrait space. Smarter people than I work around that problem. About $100 and a Home Depot is really all you need.

DigitalRev: Possibly the Best Website Ever (Photography Division)

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Things I never thought I’d see include:

  1. Pigs flying out of my ass
  2. A Black President
  3. Salma Hayek naked in my bedroom
  4. An Asian hipster basically doing a Jeremy Clarkson impersonation…to review cameras in Hong Kong.

Well, 1 and 3 still haven’t happened, but 2 and 4 are here. See below as Kai, the above mentioned Asian hipster, is challenged to paint an innocent Nikon D90 “the company’s colors.”  It is brilliant and terrible. This is the world of DigitalRev, a Hong Kong based camera store who’s blog apparently seeks to do for photography blogs what Top Gear did for automotive television shows.  And bless ‘em for it.

Granted, some random blog from a former British territory isn’t going to have nearly the production values of The World’s Most Popular Automotive Programme.  But the attitude is there.  Ridiculous challenges? Check.  Sarcastic reviews that are more entertaining than informative? Check. High entertainment value? Check.

I love this site.
