Death By Benjamin

New found, old shots.

2006-11-13T23:49:00.000-05:00

You know those times when youre looking for something to rock in your closet and you come across some gear that you forgot you had, or perhaps overlooked -- then realized .. "damn, this shits kinda hot!"

Same thing with happens with photos -- Went back to the photo library and was browsing through some of the photos I took with my old powershot, and never liked some till now. These are perfect examples on why you you're camera doesnt matter to take some halfway decent shots. Throwback time holler.

All photos were taken within a 3 month span when I got my first camera summer 06.

The great thing about the information superhighway also known as the world wide web is that it is a place to learn from others, teach others, inspire others, and be inspired by others. Yes there is more power in your browser than www.myspace.com. Below are two photographers' sites I came across today that blew me away (no homo). Enjoy as I have.

Sincerely,
Angelobenjamin

Brent Stirton's portraiture gallery either makes me wanna go out and shoot people, or just stop shooting altogether. It's that good.

Bill Sullivan's projects are awesome, but piss me off because I wish I could have thought of them first. HAH.

2006-08-01T22:25:00.000-04:00

Its because my friends skateboard (they dont kick push ..you posers) and a fisheye is key. You know it's hot when you can't even go take photos your taint sweats so much. Shittt. Expect more fishy photos soon fuckos.

Some random woman flashing her vag in front of my DND50. Money shot. Holler.

Happy Ending

2006-07-27T14:56:00.000-04:00

Jump off at Happy Ending last night. Stuck around for a bit. Good times. Horra.

I like it raw.

2006-07-26T15:15:00.000-04:00

Shooting RAW is pretty awesome. Click here to find out wtf RAW is -- and no its not wrestling you pansy. Especially if you're still learning to take pictures (like i), it can really save your ass. Otherwise, it takes too damn long to process shit and eats up hard drive space like I eat up beef patties holler.

Got out of work the other day and saw that the clouds were looking real gnarls. Decided to retake my city shots and shoot em raw. Click below to see what I got. Yeeeeeeea!! My conclusion with RAW is that if it's really important, do it up RAW, otherwise JPEG it is.

I'll shut up now. Here's pictures. Enjoi!

Apps for Appleheads - CoverFlow

2006-07-04T14:31:00.000-04:00

CoverFlow
Price: Free
download: http://www.steelskies.com/coverflow/

Some people are anal about their iTunes, no homo -- and that's a fact. CoverFlow is like a throwback style way of listening to your music like when you used to just go through your CD collection and shit. It lets you browse/listen to your iTunes library by album art, and it looks damn good. And the best part is .. it's free. And who doesn't love free?

Happy Horidays,
Mr.Benjamin

TGIFriday.

2006-06-30T21:53:00.000-04:00

Sometimes you really do need to make it a blockbuster night. Tonight I rented Ichi the Killer as my companion for the evening while I do my laundry and rest since I'm not feeling oh so well. Taking a trip with the jigs next weekend to Vermont and I don't want to be sick before we dipset, thus the staying home on a Friday night. Enjoy your evenings.

Hate,
Mr. Benjamin

PS -- Here's a picture I took of my boy Minh up at the Ramapo Reservation. Expect more shots from this location in the future ;)

Parks Lights and Tunnels

2006-06-29T02:20:00.000-04:00

After work, I noticed it was still sunny out. Humid as shit, but sunny. So mexicandy mostello and I decided to go photograph some. Mind you I've only had a camera and started learning about photography a little less than 2 months, but with the help of the sandstorm and dudes like ken rockwell, i think i'm getting the hang of it.

Today's pictures are from Hoboken, Union Square, and the Meadowlands Fair. Click on the screen shot to get to the flash gallery.

Your myspace page sucks.

2006-06-22T13:52:00.000-04:00

Ok, so we all know that myspace is the devil and it wastes people's time and reduces productivity in one's life. Then again, there's the networking part for artists, designers, musicians, etc. which could be beneficial when it comes to promoting.

One of my biggest pet peeves as a web designer are pages that SUCK SUCK SUCK, and it wasn't until I started browsing through people's myspace pages and realized that people have no idea what they're doing with themselves. So here's some pointers on how to make your myspace less sucky.

Animated Backgrounds - It hurts peoples eyes and its not cool. Dont make the background of your page the focus of the page by making it move and all different colors and all that jazzmatazz. Please? Thanks.
10,000 Pictures on the main page - I know Tom limits the amount of photos you can upload to your myspace, but it doesn't mean that you should put your whole damn photo album on your page. No one wants to sit there for an hour waiting for all them joints to load. Go sign up for flickr or blogger which lets you host your pictures and just link people to that. Got it? Good :)
Movies, Music, etc - Most of the time, when people are at the computer, they are already listening to music. If you're gunna put it on your page, make the user press play to play it because you know what? The song they're already listening to is probably the one they want to be listening to instead of yours. Same goes with the movie clips. If you're gunna have that content on your page just DONT AUTO PLAY ANYTHING.

So there. 3 VERY SIMPLE ways for people to not get annoyed at your myspace page. If you have become offended by any of the above listed, it's because you fall into one of the categories and I'm sorry. Well, for you :)

Good day all,
Angelo

Go Skateboarding Day NYC

2006-06-21T23:39:00.000-04:00

So today was 'Go Skateboarding Day' in New York. The schedule was as follows:

12pm-2pm The Brooklyn Banks
2pm-3pm Houston Park
3pm-5pm Thompkins Square Park
5pm-7pm KCDC Skateshop

The Brooklyn Banks
MexicAndy Mostello, Cohan, and I skated to the banks around noon. Shit was packed no homo. Kids were dropping hammers left and right.

Co-han poppin off on the 9-set.

Sandy poppin off as well.

Some dude frontside grabbing the big set. Homie was doing airwalks too. Sick.

Backside kickflip. Some other dude. Maybe he was famous I dunno. Gnarls.

Alley Oop frontside Flip. Some other dude #3. Wow.

Deep.

Houston Park
So imagine about 100+ skateboarders going from the Bridge down to Houston going Mach-10. Sofa King awesome. Houston Park was more chilled out than the Banks were but was still dope.

The queue to hit the garbage can off.

Who do I find snappin shots but Mr. Sterling himself.

Some dude #4. Heelflip.

Herro China!

Thompkins Square Park
So as soon as we got to Thompkins, shit was crazy. 100+ skaters in that place is nuts. Trying to skate the box or rail was nearly impossible since there were mad kids trying to get tricks in thinking theyre gunna get on 5boro or some shit, but a lot of kids were killin it. We decided to stick around when the crowd dipped to BK to go to KCDC. By then we were exhausted and hungry as hell.

Mr. McFly himself and a chinese kid with a shirt that said SUPLEME. ROR!

A!

JahJah Strikes again.

One of the suprisingly many skater chicks of the day.

One of the many unsuprising people passing by taking pictures of skateboarders like they've never seen it before.

One of the many mames accompanying their little groms.

One of the many little groms peeping the scene out.

Duders.

Put your boards up.

Mr. Announcer & Giveaway guy.

Stickers for all.

Best trick on the rail winner goes to duder #I lost count - bigspin boardslide.

UXA. UXA.

AAH!!!!

Murphy's Hideout
After Thompkins we decided to stop by Autumn skateshop then head over to our boy Murphy's(TeamAwesome,SEXERZ) spot to visit his new work area.

Don't sleep on Murph son.

The end.
Thats how we roll, son.

Sincerely,
Mr.Benjamin

p.s. -- I don't watermark my photos but if you're gunna use em, don't link em from my site por favor you whore. And add a link to my shit or give me credit for it. Thanks. I love you.

Brick City?

2006-06-21T01:31:00.000-04:00

For the past 4 years, I've been a student at NJIT located in the wonderful and oh so safe Newark, New Jersey. Now when people hear that I go to school in Newark, they wonder if I go to class with a bulletproof vest on. Took some shots today through my daily route to and from the Bricks to show you that it's not at all that bad. Sometimes.

Branch Brook Park - The Parkway Alternative.

Some poor kid's ball. No homo.

See? No crackheads around :)

The Cathedral. OOOOH. AHHHH!!

Ok fine. No one walks the streets at night.

A Day in the Park(s)

2006-06-17T00:43:00.000-04:00

I was away from home for almost 12 hours straight today. I'm exhausted and smell of cigarettes, sweat, and skateboarding. Today's agenda:

1 pm - drive to Hoboken to skate to the Christopher St. station.
2 pm - Get to the city. Skate to screen print spot.
3pm - Skate from Varick St. to St. Marks to eat at the JAS mart.
4pm - Thompkins box rail session in 90 degree humid weather.
5pm - Dying of exhaustion and dehydration.
6pm - Session ended.
7pm - Blick art supply. Last stop. Skate back to the path station.
8pm - Decide to take night shots. Drive from home back to Hoboken.
9pm - Night Photo Session no homo.
11pm - Home at last.

Here's the photo log:

ChinChang on the way to Hoboken. If you don't know who this couple is by now it's because you don't check my blog, which makes you a loser. LOSER.

After leaving the screening spot, I felt a little high. Seriously.

So here's a science lesson. An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. In this case -- a skateboard was in motion, as was myself, and the outside force was a crack in the street. If the skateboard stops, I still keep moving forwards and bust my ass. Tada.

Ms. Chico post JAS mart.

Branches and kicks.

No idea what's going on here.

Amy and Chico were our cheerleaders today.

Like I said -- Dehydration.

No mas photographia!

Shoot review.

Surowiec and the City.

Buenos Noches,

aDObe's & aDONTbe's

2006-06-14T12:44:00.000-04:00

So sometimes when I'm clicking through the devil called myspace, I come across photos of people, who claim that they are into photography. Now I'm no photographer, nor a photoshop pro, but I know when people have destroyed their goddamn pictures. So here's a little something called aDObe's & aDONTbe's with photoshop.

Ok so here's a picture of some random bird I took on St. Mark's somewhere. S'aaaite but can use a little something. Let's proceed.

adobe #1
Fuck with your brightness contrast(just a little bit), and use built in shit like auto levels, colors,etc. if you really dont know much about photoshop its the safe and easy way to fix shit.

adontbe #1
Dont fuck with the brightness contrast so much that it doesnt look real anymore. She was white now shes asian with that yellow ass tint. DONT DO IT!

adobe #2
Turning pictures black and white. Totally fine. Makes shit look classic you know? Nice. Fine. Leave it at that.

adontbe #2
You see this shit? NO. NO. NO. I've seen it way too much. There's nothing artsy about using Photoshop's default filters that are there. Most of them aren't even for photograph purposes. DONT. DO IT. TO YOURSELF. NOOBIE!!

So the lesson learned here is that -- Photoshop is a powerful tool, a tool that some people shouldn't be allowed to use because the result could be as catastrophic as a young child with a chainsaw. Good day.

Boxes and Rails.

2006-06-13T22:40:00.000-04:00

On nice days, our good friend Matt Gorvan brings out his box and rail for us to learn new tricks on. sK8rZ of the day award go to Andy Mostello the Mexican Monster(ps -- hes not really mexican) and Thomas Mobb German Genius Surowiec. Killin em on the box today. Peep out the pics and video clips to see what I mean. And these weren't even the BANGERbangers. Sheeeeit. (For video clips that I post up on YouTube... just search for 'OMG SK8R BOYS'.) ROR!!

Rizzo(Fiend Skateboards) Came out today for a quick sesh. Holler at him.

Matt Gorvan presents -- The Frontside Nosegrind.

Mobb Genius started from 50-50's to tricks like this nollie noseslide.

Then did more stuff like this nollie backside tailslide.

Same trick by Andy Mostello.

You don't know about this nollie flip 5-0. Killin em.

And no one takes pictures of me doing tricks so here's a default asian photo.

PS -- These are beater clips. Holler.

Why do smokers smoke?

2006-06-06T14:51:00.000-04:00
Here's why we smokers smoke. So fuck you.

P.S. -- I love you.

(From LiveScience.com)

"Smokers enjoy their habit because it stimulates the flow of "feel good" chemicals in the brain, according to a new study involving just a handful of test subjects.

The system of the brain affected is the same one that is stimulated by heroin and morphine."

6 Hours and 6 train rides later, I'm home from my mission to B&H to spend more money (that I don't have) on a telephoto lens for my damn camera. Accompanied by the lovely ms. ahh-my chin and andy mostello, we made a day out of the whole damn thing. I usually feel like a tourist with my camera, but today I felt like a stalker tourist with the new lens and shit. Here's day one test shots. Enjoi, bitches.

More Big Trouble in Little China. Birthday jumpoff for chico and s-tepper.
If you missed out, sucks for you .. but at least you have the photos to peep out.
Shit was packed(no homo) and everyone was wasted like it should always be.
Shouts to everyone that came through .. the usuals,unexpecteds, and even the unremembered :)

ps -- keep these things in mind next time you see me.
I'm not a damn photographer. I'm just a trigger-happy tourist with my new camera. SoSolly.
Don't get mad if I don't remember your name. I'm bad enough with that when I'm sober, nevermind with henny in me.
I hate you.
I love you.

Told you shit was packed no homes.

Ok, so I'm puting it out on the table. I'm a damn geek. So what does that have to do with you? I'mma help you fucks out so your "web-life" is a lot easier. So today, I'm gunna give you links so you can learn about RSS feeds. You're probably wondering .. what the fuck is an RSS feed? It's ok if you don't I still love you.

All you need to know is that instead of stalking websites that you constantly check that get updated, you can bookmark it as an RSS feed .. so instead of being on stalker-mode with your secret-crush's blog, or with the newest stupid trend on your hype beast sites .. your browser will just tell you when there's new shit up instead of wasting your time by constantly checking it. So here are the links for both Mac and PC users. Get e-ducated, son.

Safari Users
Firefox Users

PS -- coming soon, E-ducation pt. ii "Photoshop do's and don't."
