I like to visit the Library of Congress on occasion for inspiration. Here are a couple of links and some images to get you started. The pictures below are from the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, and were captured between 1939 and 1943 throughout the United States. Now go, Get Lost!
This is some footage from a short that I started shooting here in Atlanta. Brad Kaye, my Method 3 Productions partner edited this together for Puddles Pity Party to use on his website.
I was asked to be the director of photography by Keith Roberts a budding local director. We are shooting in several locations around Atlanta, and working with some real talented people. Big Mike Geier has a starring role, as does the ever talented Michael Laurino. Both gentleman are true professionals that are a pleasure to work with on set. We have shot for 3 days, so more to come in the near future.
This entire spot was shot on the Canon 5D MK II. I love this camera, it so great to be able to shoot full HD with a camera that is so familiar. The 5D MK II has become a real asset commercially because it allows me to photograph for print, and seamlessly move to shooting digital film spots with the same equipment and same set up. The HDSLR is really revolutionizing the industry, and it is here to stay.
Welcome to Jason Maris’s Photoblog! This is where you can find a bunch of my photos of daily life, daily strangeness and on the job images. If you’re coming here and wondering what happened to the old blog – Pushed Buttons Burning-In, don’t worry. While PBBI kinda of exploded out of the parameters we had started with, instead of shutting it down, we’ve simply moved it to it’s own website – pushedbuttonsburning-in.com. So make sure to correct your bookmarks. Click the image to see in full size.
