I ♥ APPLE
Day 49 - February 18, 2010
Third Installment of my Boy Behind The Lens Series.
The love affair began when I purchased my first iPod. It was one of those iconic white ones, with a scroll wheel, a mono-chromatic screen and twenty gigabytes of disk space. Five iPods, 2 iPhones, and about half a decade later here I am an Apple evangelist, fanboy, or whatever else they call people like me.
But more than just being a lover of all things Apple, at heart, I am a true blue techie, a lover of all things that have to do with technology and gadgets. From pocket video cameras, gaming consoles, gizmos and what have you, I love it all, these are my toys and my passion.
I have dabbled in web and graphic design, blogging, micro blogging, podcasting, and non-linear video editing. Nowadays I bring that knowledge in multimedia into my own profession with work in Digital News Gathering (DNG), social media and hosting a tech segment on TV. Its really great because I get to do something related to what I love and am passionate about.
Some friends call me the "tech guy", you can do the same if you want. And as part of the package if you have a tech question, need buying advise, or my thoughts on a particular device, or Internet service don't hesitate to send me Flickr-mail, I love to teach and help people out.
PHOTO NOTES: I've always known that I wanted to do an Apple themed shoot and earlier today while trying to figure out how I would implement my concept, my red iPod nano caught my eye. I've always loved the color of my red nano and today it really has served as the inspiration for this diptych. I knew I needed color since my keyboard was black and the apple logo on my MacBook Pro is white on silver.
To add red to the keyboard I basically made a large white canvas on Photoshop, enough to fill the screen and then filled it with red, also placed a large red bag against my laptop so the color would reflect on the backlit keys.
To add red to the Apple logo I basically shot this in the dark, waited till the logo dimmed from full brightness (it does this for a few seconds before the screen eventually goes black to save power), and then added the red tint using my iPhone (again opening up a white canvas and filling it with red).
