The Third and the Seventh

In my daily perusing of photography blogs I stumbled upon this video. The Third and the Seventh is a tribute to architecture as an art form.

The producer of this video, Alex Roman, is a master of 3DsMAX which is 3D animation software. I was impressed with this video because of its unbelievably realistic portrayal of our world.

Pay close attention to the textures used and the stylistic feel of this video. He obviously put many hours into this project.

The only things in the video which are not real according to Alex are the time-lapse flowers, some of the birds, the airplanes, and the photographer toward the end of the video.

Again, truly amazing work here. Hope you enjoy.

Make sure to watch it full screen with the sound on. (Click the link below)

A Shreeve and Illum Christmas

This is a video I put together of our Christmas together (and the days leading up to it).

Grand Turk Harbor

Here is the tiny little island of Grand Turk. At any point the cruise ships that arrive double or triple the population of this little place. It had great beaches, however, it was very... not picturesque other than those beaches. I did manage to capture this image a few minutes after sunset. The colors really come alive at that time. Does it look like a place you'd want to visit?

The Green Creek

This is one of my favorite shots that I took on this vacation. Once again this was inside of El Yunque, but I was able to use a high dynamic range(HDR) technique for the first time. Go to www.stuckincustoms.com for some truly stunning HDR work. Let me know what you think, good or bad.

Puerto Rico and the El Yunque Rain Forest

After St. Thomas we had the luxury of visiting Puerto Rico and the beautiful rain forest El Yunque. I hope you get an idea of it's vastness... and greenness by these pictures.

Half Moon Cay - Bahamas

So, Before we went to St.Thomas we actually went to Half Moon Cay Bahamas. It is an island that nobody visits but cruise ships. It was one of those moments where you realize that those pretty pictures in movies and magazines can actually exist. Where the water is so clear that it looks like it came out of the tap, and the sand is so fine that if it were white you'd swear it was flour. Half Moon Cay was that beautiful and very relaxing.

(This picture isn't of Half Moon Cay, It's one of the waiters dancing at dinner time. Only on Carnival I suppose.)

A day in St. Thomas U.S.V.I.

 I decided to try something different, so I made a little slideshow of our day in St. Thomas on our cruise. It's only 3 minutes and 47 seconds long so don't be too worried. Hope you like Jack Johnson.

Our First Day at Sea

For our first day at sea we tried to relax as much as possible. We were able to watch Race to Witch Mountain on the Jumbo-tron by the pool and listen to some live jazz music in the lobby.

The Flight

As some of you know, we went on an Exotic Eastern Caribbean Cruise for Jenn's Graduation gift. Luckily for this gift I got to reap the benefits :) We left right after her graduation and the plane left at 7:45 pm.

All in all we traveled about 11 hours with layovers and 3 plane rides. On our four hour layover at 12:00 AM we decided to stream netflix by using my phone as a modem to watch Wall-E. It was a good time since we created the ultimate airport theatre experience, complete with plush neck pillows.

Graduation Day.

As many of you know, Jenn graduated on Dec. 11th with her Bachelors in Nursing from Weber State University. She's only 22 now so that is quite the accomplishment. We've been very blessed to have her go through this program so fast since she never had to apply for her associates or bachelors programs more than once which is nearly unheard of. We'd like to thank our parents for being there.

I love you Jenn and i'm proud of all you've done so far.
