Canon and Vimeo – Film Contest

I use Vimeo, (I’ve been told not to) and I also use Nikon (and I’ve been told not to) but when it comes to something as cool as this, I had to share. Canon Inc. and Vimeo are coming together to put on a Film Contest with Vincent Laforet. You’ve probably heard me talk about him before. I am really interested in this upcoming video contest.

New Laforet Movie Posted by Canon, Then Taken Down

Canon needs to get their act together. They just released the Canon 1d MkIV. Or, just 1d4. Seriously how do they expect people to understand which camera is which? I still don’t know the difference between Canon’s 1d2 and 1d3 are.

You may remember when the 5dMkII or 5d2 came out with 1080p video that there was a video posted by director/photographer Vincent Laforet. It was called Reverie.

I thought to myself, what is a clean and clutter free design. White. It’s simple, effective and brings the eye to the photograph itself. And considering I am a photographer and this is a photoblog, that almost makes sense. Redesigning the main website was a tricky decision, I wanted to keep my logo that I had, but it just doesn’t work very well. It seems like a stamp. So it’s been redefined and cleaned up as well. Please let me know what you think of the new layout. I’m open to opinion and suggestion.
