The Creation of Zing Cha and It’s Videos

A few weeks ago a good friend that I had met while attending college in Wyoming visited Jackie and I here in Saint Paul. I can only describe him as a very positive, amazing guy that is fascinated by the world around him. He said something that I will never forget. I am paraphrasing but it went something like this, “There are so many amazing things to see in the world, you should never have to do the same thing twice.” This quote rekindled a flame of adventure and self exploration in Jackie and I that hadn’t burnt out, but had dimmed a bit with the routine of everyday life. We started to think about what really mattered in our life. What do we want our lives to look like? For Jackie it was helping others, exploring mindfulness, going on adventures, and making tea. For me it was being creative every single day, building deeper relationships, and exploring the world. So begins a new adventure. Read more

Burning Pixels with Dan – Light Painting a Diecast Car with a CD

I was in my basement shooting my little diecast Pagani supercar, and I remembered a technique I had seen somewhere using a CD to light paint with. I wish I could give attribution to the artist, but I have no idea where I saw the technique, although it might have come from Eric Paré when he used multicolored reflective paper to create a light painting with Mike Campau. The result was an abstract form of light made up of wild vibrant colors. Anyways my idea was to light paint the car like I usually do, and then wave a CD around the image as I shined a flashlight on the CD to see what kind of look I would get. It was a messy process, but that’s the way I like to shoot. Here is how I went about it on this day. Read more

For you that know me, you know I love to light paint. Because of this passion, my buddy Johnny and I started a company named Stimulight the Night. Last night under that company name, I had the pleasure of photographing friend, and pro archer, Nate Jones. Check out the post on our Stimulight Page and see what we did with lit up arrows, steel wool, and a super moon!

Painting an Old Friend with Light

Vmax B&W

This weekend I had a chance to visit the past with an old friend. When my father passed away in 2010, he left behind his 20th Edition Vmax. My Mom would ride everywhere with my Dad on the back of this beautiful bike. It was nearly 10 years ago when he got the bike and I can still remember my parents motoring down the driveway together, sharing those special moments that are so important in this life. Read more
