First Flight @ Home

So, I got a chance to take the Phantom 3 out before the sun went completely down and took a quick video from about 225 feet over the house and a bunch of photos at varying heights … Not a cinematic masterpiece by any means or stretch of the word, but hell, the damn thing didn’t fall either. The photos have not been edited, only resized for the web, the video was not modified other than fade in/out and the title.

Now I need to learn to fly it more ‘smoothly’ and get some better video going

Editing more shots from The Mission show at St Vitus in Brooklyn.

So, I was a bass player at one point in my life ... and that fact is strongly owed to this fine gentleman - Craig Adams - one of the best and unique players IMO... and he played for some of the best bands Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, The Cult and others ..

Thanks for an amazing show ...and a damn good attempt at Julianne Regan`s backing vocals 🖤

Editing the photos from this weekend`s Nission show at St Vitus in Brooklyn. First time I am really shooting anyuthing with my phone (iPhone 15 pro max) vs using my DSLR (Sony A7Riv) for this kind of work and honestly surprised with the quality in the lighting conditions of the club.

The Mission put on one of the best shows I have seen in AGES in one of the most intimate venues, stripped down and laid bare. Over 35 years after God`s Own Medicine came out Wayne can still sing like a motherfucker and without bullshit auto-tune ... much love and respect man

MacBook Pro Stand

By John Hoke / August 25, 2023

Scratching an itch (but not the MacBook Pro) I love my MacBook Pro, and with the M2 Max chip using multiple monitors is a godsend. The problem is that with two huge monitors on my desk, having space for the laptop is a challenge. Luckily I have a couple Bambu...
